1. Bray Wyatt vs Randy Orton vs John Cena
I’m calling it now. Wyatt wins the Elimination Chamber. Well, maybe not calling it. Praying would probably be the better term. But just think of the story lines a Wyatt win could produce. First off, it eliminates the god-awful idea of Cena versus Orton straight up. Sure they’d still be in the match and with a combined 28 world titles between them, that’s some serious resumes involved. But throwing in a guy that has looked like a future superstar for the past 4 years would not only be refreshing but for Wyatt, way overdue.
This has the potential of being an extremely engaging feud. The narrative for Cena is quite simple. Another world title win marks number 17, a new record surpassing the illustrious Ric Flair. But for Orton and Wyatt, a world championship changes everything between them. The tandem has become not only one of the most feared duos in the WWE but Orton’s new found allegiance to The Eater of Worlds has turned him even more vicious and has revitalized his career. Would his devotion to Bray change if the WWE Championship was the grand prize? It’s a story that could have so many layers.
No one would bat an eye over the prospect of a Wyatt/Cena/Orton WWE Championship match at Mania. And imagine if Wyatt wins? That’s the type of win that could launch a career to the next level and Wyatt is more than ready for that. So Sunday will tell a lot of about the future of the WWE title. Will the company truthfully go through with a Randy Orton/John Cena match or will they do what’s best for the future and elevate Wyatt? I’m hoping for the best here but I just have this strange feeling that it’s Bray’s time. And if it is, the WWE’s future will be in very good, if not twisted hands.
