WWE Elimination Chamber 2017: Predicting Order of Eliminations in Title Match

Fourth Elimination: AJ Styles
I really want Styles to make it to the end of this one. But for predictions, you have to toss away what you want and go with your gut feeling. And my gut is telling me it comes down to Ambrose and Wyatt.
With Styles dropping the title at Royal Rumble, his immediate future is up in the air. What does he do come WrestleMania season? Last year, he had a good match in a nothing feud with Chris Jericho. Hopes were high for this year, and now he’s in limbo.
As much as I may like to see it, Styles vs. Orton is not a match it seems WWE has any interest in putting on. So there goes AJ picking up a win here. And, from a purely historical standpoint, Ambrose and Wyatt make the most sense for a one on one encounter.
If he’s not winning, it makes the most sense for Styles to leave before the final two. It’s the best way to avoid the fans voicing displeasure over the result. Even as a heel, AJ is one of the more popular superstars in WWE. Lots of people want to see him win the title back. Falling juuuuuuust short may not go over well. Better to keep him further away from it and let the final two do their thing.
