Elimination Chamber 2012 Preview

The Road to Wrestlemania rolls through Milwaukee Wisconsin, for the Elimination Chamber Pay Per View this Sunday and here's a little run down of the scheduled matches. So far there are only 4 matches scheduled, but history shows there are usually 5 or 6 matches per show, so look for an unscheduled match or two. (5 bonus points if you guess the participants and who wins, my guess is Ted Dibiase taking on Hunico and winning again)

Beth Phoenix vs Tamina Snuka Divas Championship
I'm on the wall about this match, Tamina seems decent, although she really only seems to have one move, which she stole from her father, but she looks like a brawler and the two of them could have at least a decent looking match. I don't see Tamina getting the title yet and I think Wrestlemania will be Beth defending against either Natalya or Kharma (my personal hope is Natalya)

Kane vs John Cena Ambulance Match
Unlike everyone else it seems, I don't think Cena will turn heel before Wrestlemania. He's shown elevated aggression in the past, and I think this match will be no different, but I don't see him going back on his word, maybe he'll go to far beating up The Rock at WM and that will signify his turn, but I don't see it happening yet. I do how ever see him winning this match.
John Cena FTW


Smackdown Elimination Chamber Match.
Not since the ECW Extreme Rules Elimination Chamber match at December to Dismember 2006 have the participants in a chamber match varied so greatly.  Khali is way past his prime (if you could consider what he had as a prime) Santino is a joke entrant, The Big Show is intimidation, but as I hear it there are plans for him to face Shaq at WM 28. This shows just how shallow Smackdown's roster really is. Barrett, Rhodes, and Bryan are the ones to watch in this match, they all are on the cusp of greatness and will all be looking to prove themselves worthy of being the next top guy. As for who's going to win, my thoughts are that who ever wins this will be the one to face Sheamus at Wrestlemania, which in my mind means either Daniel Bryan or Wade Barrett. They took a huge chance and pulled the trigger with Bryan, giving him the title, something they haven't had the faith in Barrett to do yet, and i don't know if they're going to do it for WM. Even though Barreet and Sheamus have had good matches together, I think Bryan's slow heel turn will be completed and they'll have a great match at WM.
Daniel Bryan FTW


Raw Elimination Chamber Match
This will be the main event. Raw's got the top young guys in company right now, and this match should showcase them all doing what they do best. The top three to watch in this match are Ziggler, Jericho and Punk, which is not to say that Kofi, Miz and Truth won't shine, but Miz seems to have been on the WWE's shit list as of late, and Truth had a very poor showing in 2010, lasting less then 3 1/2 minutes. In 2010 Jericho won the Championship, and while I could see this happening again with Jericho entering the match last, leading to a rematch at WM, I see Punk pulling out with win and entering WM 28 as champion.

Now a quick recap of the point standing from last months Royal Rumble.
So far only three people have entered, myself, Will and Amanda, and we are all tied up at 8 points each. There is still a chance for anyone to enter and win a prize, I still don't know what it will be, but it'll be something good I promise. Just enter your predictions: who wins and how in the comments to be entered. Good luck and thanks for playing.

  1. Women's match will be a joke with Beth winning by DQ when Kharma interferes.

    Cena will snap like Ken Shamroclon Kane and win, but all the kids and little girls will still love him.

    Bryan wins the Smackdown chamber match, last eliminating Barrett with the crippler crossfa...er labell lock.

    Punk wins,last eliminating Jericho setting up a title match between the two at WM 28.
