Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live present WWE Elimination Chamber 2019 Spoilers

WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match: Daniel Bryan (c) vs. AJ Styles vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton vs. Samoa Joe

Well, they just created a new championship title belt for Daniel Bryan, so he's not losing that. I would have rather seen Mustafa Ali get replaced by Harper or Tye Dillinger, but whatever, I like Kofi Kingston.

This match should be fun. I hope they don't go out of their way to bang themselves up, as I want these guys healthy for WrestleMania.

PREDICTION: Daniel Bryan retains the title.


Women's Elimination Chamber Match: Nia Jax and Tamina vs. The Riott Squad vs. The Boss and Hug Connection vs. Fire and Desire vs. The IIconics vs. Fabulous Glow

At any other point in the year, I would think multiple teams stood a chance. Since this will lead into WrestleMania, it absolutely has to go to Bayley and Sasha Banks, so they can face Trish Stratus and Lita at WrestleMania. We've known this for what feels like a year.

PREDICTION: Bayley and Sasha Banks win the titles.


SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match: The Miz and Shane McMahon (c) vs. The Usos

I thought they'd just go with a standard rematch against The Bar. Kudos for doing something different.

PREDICTION: The Miz and Shane McMahon retain the titles.


Cruiserweight Championship Match: Buddy Murphy (c) vs. Akira Tozawa

Hm...they went with Tozawa again, even though he was in the Royal Rumble match. Curious. Is that because they don't feel like they have any other options (even though Noam Dar and The Brian Kendrick would have worked), or is it because they actually want to push Tozawa? I think it's more of the former.

PREDICTION: Buddy Murphy retains the title.


Raw Women's Championship Match: Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Ruby Riott

This is an easy win for Ronda Rousey, for sure, and exists for no other reason other than to give her more momentum.

PREDICTION: Ronda Rousey retains the title.


Intercontinental Championship Handicap Match: Bobby Lashley (c) and Lio Rush vs. Finn Balor

Making this a handicap match is something different. I'm cool with it. It will help explain keeping the belt on Lashley without just having him beat Balor straight-up or with a generic Rush interference/distraction.

PREDICTION: Bobby Lashley retains the title.


No Disqualification Match: Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin

...okay. Not sure why this is on the card, instead of some kind of tag team match with Drew McIntyre being involved, but whatever. This is February. WWE books this and Fastlane as filler.

PREDICTION: Baron Corbin wins due to help from McIntyre.


Universal Championship Match: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. LMAO

Yeah he's not fighting here.

PREDICTION: Nope. Not happening.

SmackDown Women's Championship Match: Asuka (c) vs. ???

I actually don't think this is necessarily going to happen. It might, but they might save things for Fastlane or something.

PREDICTION: We'll see...

United States Championship Match: R-Truth (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Rusev

So I guess there's a Triple Threat in the works?

PREDICTION: It wouldn't shock me if R-Truth lost the title.

Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade

This feud is still hanging in there and it would be surprising to me if they didn't have some kind of blowoff either on SmackDown, at Elimination Chamber, or at Fastlane.

PREDICTION: TBD

Raw Tag Team Championship Match

I no longer think this match will take place, since The Revival already won the titles on Raw.

PREDICTION: The Revival are keeping the belts until at least Mania.
