WWE Elimination Chamber 2024: Drew McIntyre Will Win The Chamber
By Mark Justice
WWE Elimination Chamber 2024 is only a few days away. It will take place in Australia, and the pro wrestling world is buzzing about who could win the Chamber and main event WrestleMania 40. The Elimination Chamber is the perfect place to set up some last-minute rivalries and feuds on the road to WrestleMania. Since Royal Rumble Winner Cody Rhodes justifiably chose Roman Reigns for the WWE Title, the Men's Chamber will determine who battles Seth Rollins for the World Title at WrestleMania 40. Who will win this Chamber? Let's find that out and so much more with Mark Justice.
The following will rank everyone's chances in the Men's Elimination Chamber Match for the very last major roadblock on the road to WrestleMania: WWE Elimination Chamber 2024.
Last: Logan Paul
Logan Paul is the U.S. Champion, which automatically gives him the lowest chances of winning this match since this match is an opportunity at the world title. The idea of "Logan 2 Belts" is a mere illusion that will only trend online but never come to fruition. Paul will focus on defending his U.S. Title at WrestleMania and will not be battling for the world title in this life or the next life. Also, the last thing the WWE needs is the possibility of another part time world champ, especially for the one title that was created as a workhorse title to be defended more frequently than Roman's WWE Title.
5th: Kevin Owens
Speaking of Logan Paul, Kevin Owens will be preoccupied with targeting Logan Paul for the U.S. Title on the road to WrestleMania 40, as he still has unfinished business with him due to their inconclusive DQ finish at the Royal Rumble. Also, it would not make much sense for Kevin Owens to get traded back to Raw and battle Seth Rollins for the World Title after recently signing with SmackDown. While Logan Paul was already Seth Rollins WrestleMania 39 opponent, Kevin Owens was already Seth Rollins' WrestleMania 36 opponent. Those rivalries are long and gone. It's time for something fresh.
4th: Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley is not necessarily a fresh opponent for Seth Rollins, but he is a former World Champion who has never battled Seth Rollins at WrestleMania. Also, due to his MMA experience, Lashley has all the tools to tear it up in the Chamber Match. However, Lashley and the Street Profits are still feuding with Karrion Kross and AOP, who could break into the Chamber and screw Lashley in this match to set up a faction war for WrestleMania 40. This would protect Lashley in defeat and more importantly set up the one feud he actually has a compelling storyline for on the road to Mania 40.
3rd: LA Knight
If WWE really needs something fresh for WrestleMania, look no further than LA Knight. LA Knight has never battled Seth Rollins in WWE history, Their promo battles would be a dream come true and could really get people talking for WrestleMania 40. However, from a storyline standpoint, LA Knight is still preoccupied in a rivalry with AJ Styles, and it seems more likely that he will be targeting Logan Paul for the U.S. Title on the road to WrestleMania 40, as winning that title would be the ideal consolation prize for his effective work in getting over with crowd as a popular babyface in the past year.
2nd: Randy Orton
Like KO and Logan Paul, Randy Orton is also a former WrestleMania opponent of Seth Rollins, as he did battle Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 31 before Rollins executed the heist of the century. Although it would be a nice throwback and a Mania marquee match between Orton and Rollins, Orton still has unfinished business with The Bloodline, especially Solo Sikoa, who screwed him in winning the title at the Royal Rumble. Also, like KO it would not make much sense for Randy Orton to get traded back to Raw and battle Seth Rollins for the World Title after recently signing with SmackDown.
1st: Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre will win the Elimination Chamber for three reasons: (1) He needs to get heel heat for taking away CM Punk's WrestleMania Main Event against Seth Rollins, (2) He is the only Raw superstar in this match, and (3) He is the only superstar who has a current long term storyline with Seth Rollins. Like LA Knight was with Roman Reigns, it can be argued that McIntyre already had one too many world title shots against Rollins. However, unlike Orton, Owens, and Paul, he has never been a Mania opponent for Rollins and he has mostly finished his business, with his current rival, Sami Zayn.
Consequently, Drew McIntyre's recent, well-booked heel run, especially after a big nefarious victory over Royal Rumble Winner Cody Rhodes on Raw last week, should be paid off here. Furthermore, it is interesting how McIntyre's contract with WWE expires on the night he will battle for the World Title. This feels like CM Punk at MITB 2011. It would be hilarious if McIntyre dethrones Seth Rollins, kicks Mr. MITB Damian Priest in the head to stop his cash-in, jumps the barricade, and blows a kiss to CM Punk on commentary as he heads out into the crowd after finally winning the title in front of FANS.
