Final Card & Predictions: WWE Elimination Chamber
Final Card and Predictions:

WWE Elimination Chamber
Phoenix, AZ
Handicap Match: Apollo Crews & Kalisto vs Dolph Ziggler
Ziggler has had his way with Kalisto in recent weeks, often belittling him post-match, as well as dominating him in-match. Apollo Crews has had enough of his former friend's negative change in attitude and often runs to the ring to save Kalisto from being brutalized and abused, only to have Ziggler run away in a cowardly attempt to avoid contact with the former NXT Champion. WWE called Crews up from NXT shortly after last year's WrestleMania and hoped he would catch fire and become one of WWE's most promising young stars. That simply did not happen and Crews, instead, has become a forgotten part of the main roster. Having he and former United States Champion Kalisto lose to Ziggler when they have a clear 2 on 1 advantage would make both competitors look buried; but, WWE, along with the fans, see more promise in Ziggler, despite disappointing many times in the past. Look for Ziggler to pull out all the stops considering his recent change in attitude. Look for him to outsmart and surprise his two younger counterparts with veteran savvy and sheer wickedness.
RESULT: Dolph Ziggler pins Apollo Crews
Becky Lynch vs Mickie James
Becky Lynch is coming off her first Womens Championship reign, a reign which come to a surprising halt courtesy of Womens Champion Alexa Bliss. When Becky tried to recapture her Title a masked female luchador stood in her way, preventing Becky from defeating Alexa and winning her second SmackDown Womens Championship. The masked female luchador turned out to be former 5-time WWE Womens Champion, Mickie James who recently feuded with Asuka in NXT. James is clearly the veteran here, having competed in the big leagues since 2005 and winning championships in both the WWE and TNA; but, Becky Lynch is clearly the younger and arguably superior talent. Still, look for James to use her savvy and Becky's emotion over being screwed out of the Title, to her own advantage.
RESULT: Mickie James pins Becky Lynch
SmackDown Tag Team Championship Turmoil Match
SmackDown Tag Team Champions American Alpha, former Champions the Usos and Slater & Rhyno, the Ascension, the Fashion Police, and the Vaudevillains will all compete for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships in this tag team melee. Look for American Alpha to start the match and dominate throughout. They will eliminate every team until they get to the last duo, the Usos. Look for American Alpha to be challenged by the legendary Samoan brothers; but, in the end American Alpha will prove their sheer dominance in the SmackDown tag team rankings by defeating the Usos too.
RESULT: Winners and still Tag Team Champions American Alpha
Nikki Bella vs Natalya
A mystery opponent attacked Nikki Bella before her Survivor Series match against the RAW women's team. Bella was rendered unable to compete and Natalya was chosen to take her place on the team. While Nikki expected her arch rival Carmella of the pre-show attack, it was later revealed to be her long-time friend and Total Divas co-star Natalya. Natalya was fed up with the attention Nikki receives: from her Total Divas success, to her longest reigning Divas Championship reign, to her relationship with John Cena, it all makes Natalya sick. Nikki was incensed to learn about her long-time friend's betrayal and the two have brawled on subsequent episodes of SmackDown. Natalya is so bitter, so angry, so wounded that she is capable of anything. While Natalya won't admit that Nikki is the superior competitor, their history and Nikki's accolades have revealed that as obviously so. Look for Nikki to dominate the match; but, look for another bitterly jealous woman to interfere on Natalya's behalf. On this season's Total Divas it was revealed that Nikki Bella and Maryse simply do not like each other. Maryse is angry over what she sees as Nikki's betrayal over her previous WWE contract. Look for Maryse to interfere and set up a rumored mixed tag WrestleMania match between Maryse, her husband the Miz, Nikki Bella, and her boyfriend John Cena.
RESULT: Natalya via pinfall (interference by Maryse)
Randy Orton vs Luke Harper
The two former brothers will square off in a battle of the Wyatts. Harper, long-time loyal Bray Wyatt confidant, has never fully accepted Randy Orton as one of his own. When the two squared off recently, Bray Wyatt clearly chose Randy's side. Although Bray made his choice, Luke Harper still seems, at least somewhat loyal to Bray Wyatt. His loyalties end there; however, as he has deep rooted hatred against the Vyper Randy Orton whom he feels came in between he and his mentor. Orton, who recently won the Royal Rumble, has had a massive amount of success in the WWE. Unlike Harper, his successes weren't dependent on the fact that he relied on a stable to do his dirty work for him. It happened because he is an elite competitor, capable of beating the greatest competitors in history on any given night. Harper is amazing and cut from the same cloth as Bruiser Brody; but, he isn't used to being on his own. Look for Orton to take advantage of that and hit an RKO Out of Nowhere for a pinfall victory.
RESULT: Randy Orton via pinfall
Alexa Bliss vs Naomi
Alexa Bliss never won an NXT Championship; but, won SmackDown's Womens Championship shortly after being called to the main roster. Naomi has been on the main roster since first dancing with Brodus Clay in the Funkadactyls circa 2012; but, hasn't won a single championship, despite being a phenomenal athlete. Look for a fantastic match; but, look for Naomi's streak of bad luck to end. Without any masked luchador to help (Mickie James will be preoccupied with Becky Lynch) look for Naomi to score a dominant pinfall victory over her unexperienced counterpart.
RESULT: Winner and NEW SmackDown Womens Champion Naomi
WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match
John Cena, who beat A.J. Styles for his record tying 16th World Championship, is at an unfair disadvantage for this one. Most WWE Champions have to worry about a single competitor in their first Title defense. Cena has to concern himself with five other competitors: Bray Wyatt, the Miz, A.J. Styles, Baron Corbin, and Dean Ambrose. Look for Cena to be called into the match early as well, possibly against A.J. Styles, as the WWE see both Superstars as the most capable ring generals and will want to take advantage of their ability to call a great match. Look for Ambrose and Corbin to attack each other setting up a huge WrestleMania feud between the two. The Miz will be the individual responsible for Cena's demise in this match and probably won't do it fairly. This will set up a mixed tag match between the Miz, Maryse, John Cena and Nikki Bella at this year's WrestleMania. Who will win this match? With the surprising assistance of BOTH Randy Orton and Luke Harper, Bray Wyatt will win the Elimination Chamber and walk out with his first WWE Championship, setting up a match between he and fellow Wyatt Family member Randy Orton at this year's WrestleMania.
RESULT: Winner and New WWE Champion Bray Wyatt
