1. Bray Wyatt

Given how Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt are in the same faction, the reasoning for the former stands similar to the leader of the faction. However, for Wyatt’s inclusion in the Elimination Chamber match, some parts of this are different.

It’s not often that Wyatt receives a WWE Championship match, unlike Orton and his consistent presence around the title until 2015. The opportunity to receive a noteworthy matchup for a title at WrestleMania would be the biggest thing that the former NXT reality show star has done. It would go beyond the match with the Undertaker, which Wyatt had to build up on WWE TV by himself, only to eventually lose at Levi’s Stadium.

This time around, Wyatt is more established and has similar momentum to what he had during the early days of the Wyatt Family. He rarely, if ever takes pinfall losses and had strong showings at both No Mercy and Survivor Series. WWE even put the SmackDown Tag Team Championship on him, marking his first title reign under the Bray Wyatt persona.

So, could Elimination Chamber make for the first-ever World title reign for Wyatt? Maybe not, but this will get him plenty of exposure on the road to a potential match with Orton at WrestleMania.
