WWE 5 Burning Questions: Will Seth Rollins’s WrestleMania Plans Change?

Does Elias have any realistic chance at Elimination Chamber?

This week on Raw, Elias faced off against John Cena and Braun Strowman in the main event of the night. The winner of the match would earn the right to be the sixth person to be released in the chamber match. As such, the one who picks up the win would come away with some major advantage. Both Cena and Strowman were heavy favorites going into the match.

However, an unlikely winner, in the form of Elias came out as the match concluded. The Drifter took advantage of Strowman hitting Cena with a power slam to steal the winning pin. This might have been The Drifter’s biggest moment since making his main roster debut. Seeing as how uneventful his NXT stint was, this might very well be the biggest moment of his young career.

But now, the question has to be asked. Does Elias have any realistic chance at the match itself? Roman Reigns is almost poised to win the whole thing and complete his long time conquest of defeating Brock Lesnar. From where I stand, Elias entering the Chamber last would be a means to ensure Reigns picks up the win, despite a game and fresh Drifter having the advantage. Reigns might indeed be one of the first two participants of the match itself.

So is Elias being built up with wins over Cena just to be fed to Roman Reigns on his road to WrestleMania?
