WWE Elimination Chamber 2020 Predictions: Bayley Betrays Sasha Banks
By Mark Justice
Aleister Black vs. Buddy Murphy [Grudge Match]
At WWE Royal Rumble 2020, Buddy Murphy helped Seth Rollins eliminate Aleister Black from the Royal Rumble Match and Black joined forces with Owens and Joe in fending off Murphy and Authors of Pain to the backstage area. Thanks to this brawl, it is transparent that Murphy is still resentful for the many losses he sustained at the knee strikes of Aleister Black and their rivalry is thereby far from over.
While Murphy has been busy defending the Raw Tag Team Championships, Black has been busy defeating pointless opponents. However, he did declare that he will no longer be waiting for someone to knock on his door and challenge him, for he is now hunting down his own opponents and challenging them.
Hopefully, one of those targets is Buddy Murphy. Although Murphy should redeem himself and beat Black at least once, Black has been booked as an unstoppable force for a reason (thank you, Paul Heyman) and should not lose a match until he captures a championship on the main roster.
Henceforth, Black should win this match to finally end his rivalry with Murphy. With the 2020 Royal Rumble Winner Drew McIntyre occupied in a WWE Championship match against Brock Lesnar at WWE WrestleMania 36, Black should obtain the momentum he needs from this victory for a mid card championship opportunity on the road to WrestleMania 36 (e.g. United States Championship opportunity against Andrade).
Prediction: Aleister Black
Drew McIntyre vs. Seth Rollins [Grudge Match]
Before Drew McIntyre battles the Beast Incarnate at WWE WrestleMania 36, he needs to defeat the original BeastSlayer (i.e Seth Rollins) who defeated Lesnar at last year’s WrestleMania for the Universal Championship. This potential bout was hinted at when Seth Rollins declared that it was time for him to dethrone Lesnar once again and battle McIntyre on the grandest stage of them all.
Unfortunately, that won’t be happening since Rollins lost the WWE Championship number one contendership opportunity to Ricochet. However, they can still go to war at WWE Elimination Chamber 2020 because a victory over Rollins would put McIntyre on a higher level than Rollins, solidify his main event status, and help the WWE Universe believe that McIntyre has a solid chance at dethroning Lesnar for the WWE Championship at WWE WrestleMania 36.
Prediction: Drew McIntyre
