Who do we think could join the field of competitors in the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship?

On Tuesday’s episode of WWE SmackDown, Shane McMahon announced that the main event of February’s Elimination Chamber would feature a WWE Championship match. However, this would be inside the chamber, a structure that hasn’t been used since the 2015 version of this branded show. Even before that, the World title had not been defended in this since 2014.

McMahon wouldn’t announce the six competitors for the Elimination Chamber, and didn’t really tease who could be added to the mix. However, given the stage that several SmackDown Superstars are at, there may be enough room to predict the competitors that will be involved in this match on the 12th.

Before we get there, John Cena and AJ Styles will battle in the WWE Championship match at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. The Elimination Chamber announcement gives this bout a bit more intrigue, especially since the winner will have to fend off five other competitors. Then that winner will move onto WrestleMania 33 for a title defense.

With the chamber already less than one month away, the field of competitors could be set soon. Who do we think are early candidates to wrestle in this match, though?
