One of the most story-driven matches WWE could book for Elimination Chamber is between Mustafa Ali and Kofi Kingston. The two Superstars have a history together, stemming particularly from this very pay-per-view. Ali suffered an injury before Elimination Chamber 2019 and was replaced by Kofi Kingston in the titular match for the WWE Championship.

The rest was history, with Kingston gaining enough momentum to win the WWE title at WrestleMania. Ali, however, did not reach that main event level when he was back. He is now saddled in RETRIBUTION, a group that has been severely hamstrung by WWE's booking of them. That being said, Ali's storyline with The New Day has some promise.

After Xavier Woods was being targeted for weeks, Kingston returned to action on RAW following an injured jaw. This sets up the match between him and Ali perfectly for Elimination Chamber, with all of the bad blood that may be there on Ali's part culminating in this one match.

Ideally, the two of them should have been in this year's WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match to extend their story. They would contribute more to the multi-man match than the likes of The Miz and Jeff Hardy. But a singles match at the pay-per-view isn't a bad idea at all.
