Two significant players in the six-man Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship will be the aforementioned Seth "Freakin" Rollins and Riddle. The Original Bro defeated Otis to earn a spot while the Messiah announced his inclusion on the KO Show.

Real-life heat could come into play here, as Rollins and Riddle aren't exactly fond of each other. The Visionary once remarked that he had little desire to share the ring with the latter. While they have crossed paths numerous times in multi-man matches and at the Rumble, a full-fledged rivalry between the two talented stars hasn't come to fruition.

WWE has used real-life animosity to good effect in the past. Matt Hardy vs. Edge epitomized the magic that could be created when authentic hatred finds expression in a wrestling ring. Moreover, WWE recently announced a one-on-one match between Riddle and Rollins on RAW. While a match of such magnitude shouldn't be given away flippantly, this can lead to bigger things down the line.

In the past year, Randy Orton's on-screen best friend has become a bonafide star. Riddle is very high on WWE's priority list, and his booking shows the creative team's confidence in his ability. Facing Rollins under the bright lights of WrestleMania will take his career to the next level, and a victory will catapult him into stardom overnight.
