We are hours away from WWE Elimination Chamber 2022. Several high-profile matches are scheduled to take place at today’s show, including two Elimination Chamber matches. While we know about most of the card, what’s a WWE premium live event without a few jaw-dropping surprises.
Here, we look at some of the biggest surprises that can unfold at Elimination Chamber 2022. So, without further ado, let’s begin.
#5 Brock Lesnar gets back at Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber
Trending
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Back at Royal Rumble 2022, Brock Lesnar put his WWE Championship on the line against Bobby Lashley. The two superstars faced each other in a highly anticipated match that eventually ended with The All Mighty winning the title.
However, the biggest highlight of their in-ring encounter was Reigns’ surprise interference and Paul Heyman’s shocking betrayal.
He switched to his role as Special Counsel when The Tribal Chief took matters into his own hands. The latter’s attack on The Beast Incarnate essentially gave Lashley a huge advantage in the match, and Lesnar ended up losing his title. He then used it as a motivation to enter the Men’s Royal Rumble and win the 30-Man battle to punch his ticket to WrestleMania.
Lesnar has already confirmed that he wants to challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 38. But before that, he intends to take back his WWE Championship from Lashley in the Elimination Chamber match tonight.
Despite being an odds-on favorite, there’s still a good chance that Brock Lesnar will not dethrone Bobby Lashley just yet.
He could still make a huge statement at the Elimination Chamber premium live event by interfering in Reigns’ title match against Goldberg. An attack on The Tribal Chief will cause the match to end in disqualification, and Reigns will retain his title.
This would allow Lesnar to get his revenge while simultaneously securing his title match against the top heel at WrestleMania.
It would certainly be better if Lesnar attacks Reigns after the match. This would prevent a potentially controversial finish, but almost all of the latter’s successful title defense has had an outside interference play in his favor.
If the only intention is to prove a point, then Brock Lesnar could also attack Paul Heyman to toy with Roman Reigns’ psyche.
#4 Goldberg retires at Elimination Chamber
While interference is a strong possibility, we could also see Roman Reigns and Goldberg engage in a brief yet solid match at Elimination Chamber. This bout has been in the making for two years, and it will be the first time both these superstars will face each other in a singles match.
Despite all of Goldberg's iconic accolades, it is highly unlikely that he will end Reigns' historic reign as the Universal Champion.
Thus, WWE might use this opportunity to book his retirement from in-ring competition. He has worked hard inside the squared circle for decades and evidently deserves rest at this point.
Allowing Roman Reigns to retire Goldberg would help create the right send-off for the Hall of Famer. He will have put over the biggest superstars on the modern-day roster, and Reigns will get to conquer another milestone during his legendary title reign.
#3 Alexa Bliss tricks everyone in the Elimination Chamber match
Over the last few weeks, several interesting vignettes aired on RAW in which Alexa Bliss can be seen seeking therapy. The top superstar wanted to cope with the loss of her best friend Lilly, who was shared to pieces at the hands of Charlotte Flair at Extreme Rules last year.
Bliss has now seemingly recovered from the trauma and is going to be the sixth participant in the women's Elimination Chamber match today. But is the multi-time champion well and truly over The Fiend-inspired gimmick?
It has been a long while since she was actively competing at the top. What if Bliss brings back the darker side to her persona inside the steel structure when things don't go her way in the high-stakes bout?
After all, Alexa Bliss would do everything to become the next challenger for the RAW Women's Champion and get her title match at WrestleMania. It would be a surprise to see her show the darker side to her gimmick despite the last few weeks' therapy sessions and may add another level of mystery to her character on the road to WrestleMania.
#2 Dominik betrays Rey Mysterio at Elimination Chamber
One of the matches scheduled for Elimination Chamber will witness Rey Mysterio face The Miz. The two started feuding on RAW when The A-Lister took on Dominik in a couple of matches.
He first tricked the young superstar to get a victory, and the latter pulled off a similar scheme with his father the following week. The Miz then got under The Mysterios’ skin by invoking Eddie Guerrero’s name to insult them on RAW.
Now, Rey Mysterio is determined to make The Miz pay for his words. While the high-flying superstar will look to pick up a victory, WWE can pull off a major surprise by having Dominik attack his father after the match is over.
Rey has openly said that he will take a step back if he feels Dominik is ready to take on the challenges all by himself, and he hopes to see it happen by the end of this year.
This would also allow WWE to book a unique father-son feud on the road to WrestleMania. If not, they will continue to compete in the tag team division.
#1 The Undertaker makes a surprise appearance
As confirmed recently, The Undertaker will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Famer 2022. It is possible that he will make a surprise appearance at the star-studded Elimination Chamber.
There’s not any segment that particularly leaves room for The Phenom's appearance, but he could still make for an interesting addition to the show.
We hope that if he does appear at the event, it is in a non-wrestling role. The crowd in Saudi Arabia loves to see legendary superstars be a part of the show and will welcome The Undertaker to an epic response. As long as the creative team can do justice to his appearance, it will account for a major surprise.
