Quick Elimination Chamber 2021 Predictions.
Since this week's news is slower than that sloth in Zootopia, I wanted to showcase my quick predictions for 2021's Elimination Chamber PPV.
By the way, my predictions are highlighted in bold letters:
Bobby Lashley vs Keith Lee vs Riddle For The United States Championship (Update: Keith is apparently not on the PPV but my prediction is still the same).
Nia Jax And Shayna Baszler vs Sasha Banks And Bianca Belair For The Women's Tag Team Championship (yes, they're going to pull off the John Cena and Shawn Michaels bit of winning the tag team championship during a championship built for Wrestlemania).
Drew McIntyre vs Sheamus vs AJ Styles vs Kofi Kingston vs Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton In An Elimination Chamber Match For The WWE Championship.
Kevin Owens (yea, unfortunately) vs Jey Uso vs Sami Zayn vs King Corbin vs Daniel Bryan vs Cesaro. An Elimination Chamber Match With The Winner Facing Roman Reigns Later In The Night.
Roman Reigns vs Kevin Owens For The Universal Championship.
MVP Injured!?
Montell Van Porter suffered a leg injury on this past week's edition of Monday Night RAW at least if you believe PWInsider and Mikey Johnson report about it.
And yes, the report did mention that MVP was walking with crutches on RAW Talk which was true.
Wishing MVP nothing but the speediest of recovery.
How Did WWE Knew Of Lacey Evans' Pregnancy!?
When Lacey Evans announced on RAW that she was pregnant, a lot of people's reaction understandably so, were "EWWWWH!".
Thankfully, it isn't what we think it is and Evans is legitimately pregnant (congratulations to her).
Now, how did the folks over at world wrestling entertainment find out about Evans' pregnancy?
According to Wrestling Inc, they found out about her pregnancy on the day of Monday Night RAW and rewrote the script as a result.
There Are No Plans For Bo Dallas!? WOAWWWWW!
So surprised am I right? Davey boy Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio quote (from Cagesideseats):
“He’s still got a job. No idea what or why or anything. It’s a big mystery.”
By the way, Fightful select (from WrestleTalk) mentioned that Bo Dallas was attending Smackdown for a couple of weeks straight and the performers were happy to see him.
I'm hoping that once Bo Dallas comes back, he turns heel and lives up to his potential but a man can only dream.
What's Going On With The WWE Championship Situation For Wrestlemania 37?
 |
| from Bleacher Report |
WrestleVotes will tell ya what's going on.
Some of the matches on the Wrestlemania card like Edge vs Roman Reigns, Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt, Sasha Banks vs Bianca Belair, Bad Bunny on a tag match are "on the books" during a creative meeting.
While the WWE championship and other matches are open. However, the source told WrestleVotes that "nothing is set in stone".
Based on what I've seen on Monday Nights, it looks like either Drew is facing Sheamus or Bobby Lashley based on the way the CEO of the Hurt Business has been written for months.
I do not hate either decision but who knows?
Monday Night RAW will somehow mess those matches up to the point where I wouldn't look forward to either possible match.
What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy? Anyways, stay safe smarks.
