10 matches WWE could announce for WrestleMania following Elimination Chamber

With Elimination Chamber 2022 in the history books, WWE can now start the proper build for this year's WrestleMania.

This year's Elimination Chamber premium live event featured a lot of action, but fans have mixed feelings about WrestleMania after what went down at the event. As of now, three matches are set for The Showcase of the Immortals.

Roman Reigns will face Brock Lesnar in a Champion vs. Champion match as the main attraction. Then there's Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown Women's Championship and Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair for the RAW Women's Championship. With those three matches, all the world title bouts are set.

The Show Of Shows is six weeks away, which means WWE has a lot of time to prepare for it. Many major announcements are expected in the coming weeks, including more matches booked for WrestleMania.

With that in mind, let's take a look at 10 matches that could take place at the most anticipated wrestling show of the year.

#10. Damian Priest defends the United States Championship against Omos at WrestleMania

Damian Priest has held the WWE United States Championship for 181 days. He defeated Sheamus to win the title at SummerSlam last year, and has bested some big names during his reign.

The Archer of Infamy's biggest win came on last Monday's episode of RAW when he defeated AJ Styles to retain the title.

Priest was not booked for Elimination Chamber, but he will be looking to get a spot at 'Mania. He'll also want to head into the event as the United States Champion.

WWE could have Omos challenge Priest for the title at WrestleMania, as they've been building him up as a threat to the mid-card since he turned on AJ Styles. Omos has had some very dominant performances so far, including squashing Styles and defeating Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander in a 2-on-1 Handicap match.

Since Priest defeated Omos' former tag team partner recently, the big man may step up to the United States Champion and take his shot at the title as well.

#9. Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal returns to WrestleMania

The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal was a stable of WrestleMania since its inception. With the exception of the last two years, the match has taken place at The Show of Shows since 2014.

In 2020, WWE did not hold it due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The following year, they held it at a special 'Mania edition of SmackDown.

The match may return to its original stage this year, so expect WWE to make an announcement about it in the coming weeks.

#8. Drew McIntyre and Happy Corbin end their rivalry at WrestleMania

Drew McIntyre has been involved in a feud with Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss since he was drafted to SmackDown.

At Elimination Chamber, The Chosen One defeated Madcap Moss in a Falls Count Anywhere match. With that done, it may be time for him to move on to Corbin and end this feud once and for all.

Although fans want to see McIntyre do something big at WrestleMania, it doesn't look like he'll have a significant role at this year's Show Of Shows, so unless plans change, expect to see him go at it with Corbin and Moss for the next six weeks.

McIntyre and Corbin will probably put an end to it with a grudge match at the Showcase of the Immortals.

#7. Sami Zayn and Johnny Knoxville battle for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania

Jackass star Johnny Knoxville started to have issues with Sami Zayn the day he showed up in WWE. The Hollywood star managed to keep the upper hand until the Royal Rumble, but Zayn struck back by eliminating him from the Men's Rumble match.

After their encounter in WWE, Zayn showed up at the Jackass Forever premiere and confronted Knoxville. He was promptly kicked out of the event, however.

In a recent interview, Knoxville made it clear that he isn't done in WWE yet, as it took four superstars to eliminate him from the Royal Rumble match.

Zayn won the Intercontinental Championship from Shinsuke Nakamura on last night's episode of SmackDown, so it might be time for Knoxville to return to WWE. There has been speculation online about WWE possibly doing Zayn vs. Knoxville for the Intercontinental Championship at 'Mania, so the Jackass star could soon appear to set up the match.

WWE had a partnership going on with the Jackass franchise last month, and they may continue it to bring more attention to The Show of Shows, which is something they try to do every year by bringing in mainstream stars.

#6. Edge and AJ Styles go head-to-head in a dream match at WrestleMania

AJ Styles competed in a brutal Chamber match for the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber. Unfortunately, he couldn't come out on top and was eliminated by Brock Lesnar.

What's next for Styles is unknown, but what he and the fans want is pretty clear. AJ has publicly declared his desire for a one-on-one match with WWE Hall of Famer Edge.

Styles is not the only one who wants the match, though, as Edge has also expressed interest in facing The Phenomenal One. Edge will almost definitely be part of the WrestleMania match card, and there's currently no better option than Styles to face him at the event.

#5. Sonya Deville and Naomi compete in a high-stakes match at WrestleMania

Sonya Deville and Naomi started feuding before Survivor Series last year, and their feud is still ongoing.

At Elimination Chamber, Naomi teamed up with 2022 Women's Royal Rumble winner Ronda Rousey to defeat SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair and Deville in a Tag Team match. Naomi also won against Deville in a singles encounter on the SmackDown before Royal Rumble.

Deville probably won't accept the two losses against Naomi easily, so it's likely she will continue to cause problems on SmackDown.

Sonya may book herself into one final match with Naomi at WrestleMania. WWE could have Deville's role as an official and Naomi's spot on SmackDown on the line in the match.

#4. Randy Orton and Riddle face off at WrestleMania

Riddle lost the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match, so it's time for him to focus on the tag team division once again. After all, he's got the upcoming match between RK-Bro and Alpha Academy for the RAW Tag Team Championship to contend with.

It doesn't seem like the titles will change hands in that match. If that's the case, it will likely mean the end of RK-Bro is near.

WWE reportedly wanted to hold Randy Orton vs. Riddle at SummerSlam last year, but RK-Bro's popularity with the fans caused them to delay the match until The Show of Shows.

WWE could have Orton turn on Riddle after a potential loss to Chad Gable and Otis, leading to a match between them at WrestleMania.

#3. Logan Paul makes his in-ring debut at WrestleMania

Rey Mysterio defeated The Miz on the Elimination Chamber Kickoff show.

During the main show, The Miz stated in a backstage interview that he will make a phone call to someone who is just as gifted as him, and a global star like him, to team up with him against the Mysterios.

WWE is reportedly planning to bring back Logan Paul to join forces with The Miz against Rey and Dominik Mysterio in a potential tag match at WrestleMania.

Paul was involved in a feud between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens during last year's 'Mania season, and also made an appearance at SummerSlam. It seems like he will do more than just talk in his next run, and could potentially make his in-ring debut at the Show of Shows.

#2. Bobby Lashley and Seth Rollins go to war at WrestleMania

Bobby Lashley lost the WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar in this year's Elimination Chamber match.

Luck wasn't on The All Mighty's side as he had to be helped to the back after Seth Rollins sent Austin Theory crashing into his pod with the help of a powerbomb.

It doesn't seem like Lashley will get a rematch for the title either, as Lesnar is now set to face Roman Reigns in a champion vs champion match at WrestleMania. And even if he gets it, he likely won't win it back.

Rollins is responsible for Lashley's major loss today, so WWE might have them feud heading into The Show of Shows.

It was previously reported that the company wanted to do Shane McMahon vs. Seth Rollins at 'Mania, but Lashley vs. Rollins is a good pivot given that Shane O’ Mac was reportedly released from the company.

#1. Stone Cold Steve Austin returns to the ring at WrestleMania

The biggest match rumored for this year's WrestleMania is Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kevin Owens.

On last Monday's episode of RAW, Owens cut a promo and revealed that he despises the state of Texas, which is both Austin's home state and the host state of this year's Show of Shows.

Soon after Owens' promo on RAW, reports surfaced that WWE was making overtures to Austin for an in-ring return at the biggest show of the year.

The event is being held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, and WWE plans to sell 200,000 tickets for the two-night event, so they might need a huge name to attract fans. Austin is a mega star, which is why the company will try its best to lure him out of retirement.

Unless Austin doesn't want to return to the ring, expect WWE to start the build-up for Austin vs. Owens in a battle of Stunners soon.
