WWE Elimination Chamber 2017: Predicting the WWE Title Match Field

5. John Cena

The next most obvious candidate for this Elimination Chamber match is John Cena. He is the other Superstar involved in the WWE Championship bout at the Royal Rumble.

Not having Cena involved in this would be quite the surprise. With six spots available, along with a spot at WrestleMania 33 likely on the line, why wouldn’t the Face That Runs the Place be in the mix? He’s still the biggest name SmackDown has, especially for the amount of babyfaces they have (very few).

It’s possible Cena walks into the WWE Championship match with the belt. The Alamodome in San Antonio, TX could be the place where he ties Ric Flair with 16 World championship reigns. This would make for a historic moment on a show that WWE has always pushed as a major one, so why not go through with it? Then the 17th win can be saved for the biggest show, WrestleMania.

Whether or not he wins at the Rumble, expect Cena to be involved in the Elimination Chamber match in less than a month. It may very well be him defending too.
