Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Ricochet – WWE Championship

Granted, this one’s taking a shot in the dark on the assumption that Brock Lesnar even wrestles on a B-show, which is rare for him. However, the events of the Royal Rumble has me thinking that maybe, just maybe, he’ll make an exception for Elimination Chamber and that the last week set up Ricochet as his next challenger.

Yes, the biggest talking point coming out of the Royal Rumble last night was that Drew McIntyre eliminated Brock Lesnar, but let’s not forget how Lesnar was only left wide open to receive a Claymore out the ring after being low blow’d by Ricochet, which in itself was payback for The Beast low blowing him six days earlier on Raw.

It would not be hard to paint the picture of Lesnar directly blaming Ricochet for his elimination and the latter putting a target on his back as a result. Speaking of results, it almost goes without saying that Brock wins this, if only because he shouldn’t lose the title a month before defending it against Drew McIntyre.

Winner: Brock Lesnar

The Fiend vs. Braun Strowman – Universal Championship

It might be safe to finally say The Fiend’s feud with Daniel Bryan is over after the former beat the latter not once, but twice in definitive fashion. The Fiend has committed to finishing his unfinished business with the Leader of the Yes Movement and got him back for wronging him in the past.

That’s pretty much been The Fiend’s motivation for most of his feuds with the likes of Bryan and Finn Balor. Which of his past rivals on the SmackDown roster is left for Bray Wyatt to have unfinished business with?

After a quick glance at the SmackDown roster, only two names spring to mind: Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman. Reigns, I think, is being saved for The Fiend’s WrestleMania match, so that leaves Braun.

Since Braun is currently wrapped into an Intercontinental Championship feud with Shinsuke Nakamura, let’s say that The Fiend costs Braun a title match to transition them into each other’s paths for a match between themselves. One that The Fiend is likely to win.

Winner: The Fiend
