I don't know why, but Rey Mysterio and Andrade are not in the title picture at this point in time. Maybe WWE is waiting for them to finish their trilogy of exceptional matches. Maybe they're being saved for WrestleMania 35. Maybe the plan is to insert them into the United States Championship mix for now.

But whatever the case may be, these two men have been left out of a title shot. Otherwise, they would have been my two top picks for this match instead. But I'm okay with Kofi Kingston in the match considering what a great performance he put on this week.

So who do you think will walk out as the WWE Champion, come Elimination Chamber 2019? Will Bryan be able to retain his title at the show?

Or is it time for a brand new Champion?
