WWE Elimination Chamber 2021 Full Match Card And Result Predictions
By Mark Justice
Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Riddle vs. Keith Lee [United States Championship]
Despite the fact that Bobby Lashley has a 33.33% chance of retaining the United States Championship and could lose the championship without getting pinned, he has a 50% chance of pinning or submitting Riddle to retain the United States Championship. This Scott Steiner math was inspired by the fact that Riddle has had way too many losing efforts in his U.S. title opportunities to be considered a credible threat in this title match.
Although Riddle has already lost three times or more to Lashley, he has still been considered a contender for the United States Championship in order to eat the pin in this triple threat match. Since Keith Lee already pinned Riddle on Raw last week to earn this title opportunity, it is unlikely that he will do the same in this title match. Also, it would be deflating for Keith Lee to win his first main roster title by pinning Riddle in a triple threat match on a B-level PPV.
Henceforth, it would be better booking for Lashley to pin Riddle and protect Keith Lee for a future one-on-one championship opportunity at either FastLane or WrestleMania 37. This triple threat match should be a means of smoothly transitioning Lashley from his feud with Riddle to his feud with Lee. Keith Lee can then pin Lashley in a one-on-one title match to win his first main roster title and obtain a more meaningful victory. To reach that moment, Lashley will retain here.
Prediction: Bobby Lashley
Asuka (c) vs. Lacey Evans [Raw Women’s Championship]
Speaking of Scott Steiner Math, it might be safe to say that Asuka has a 33% chance of winning her one-on-one Raw Women’s Championship match against Lacey Evans because there’s a high probability that Charlotte Flair will interfere in this match. Lacey Evans defeated Charlotte Flair via disqualification to become the number one contender for the Raw Women’s Championship, and this match ended in DQ due to Charlotte’s frustrations with Evans’ recent alliance with Ric Flair.
Although Charlotte is Asuka’s tag team partner, she will clearly have no consideration for Asuka’s title match and focus solely on getting her revenge on Evans. Expect a non-finish here, in which Charlotte Flair will attack Lacey Evans to force a disqualification. Asuka will retain due to the champions’ advantage, but she won’t be happy with losing the match to Lacey Evans. As a fighting babyface champion, Asuka would not want her title matches to end inconclusively.
Asuka would have every reason to be upset with Charlotte’s interference. This interference and inconclusive finish would elicit beef amongst all three superstars and organically set up a triple threat Raw Women’s Championship match at either FastLane or WrestleMania. Asuka has never won a match at WrestleMania and still needs to redeem herself after losing her undefeated streak to Charlotte at WrestleMania 34 three years ago. To reach that moment, Asuka will retain.
Prediction: Lacey Evans (via DQ); Asuka retains
