#3 Daniel Bryan retaining At The Elimination Chamber

Can anyone take The WWE title away from Daniel Bryan at The Elimination Chamber?

Let's be honest here.

There is no way WWE is going to take The Universal title away from Daniel Bryan at The Elimination Chamber and the way the company has been booking each Superstar in the chamber match absolutely proves it.

With that being said and no real way to build momentum for any of the other five Superstars in two weeks, it looks like Daniel Bryan is set to retain.

Think about it! AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy seem to have ignited a rivalry of their own on this week's edition of Smackdown Live and fans can probably expect that to be the plan moving forward.

Beyond that, Mustafa Ali and Randy Orton wouldn't be very exciting picks to walk into WrestleMania 35 with The WWE title, which casts serious doubt on them being the one to unseat Bryan.

And then there's Samoa Joe, who is being built up as an absolute killer as of late and probably has the best shot at Bryan's title.

Unfortunately for Joe, WWE is obviously just trying to create doubt that Bryan can retain his title and while it has been effective so far, it's hard to imagine anyone besides Bryan walking into WM 35 as champion.

In the end, someone else beating Bryan for the title heading into WrestleMania 35 would be a nice surprise and serve to give a temporary pop to ratings, but its not a sustainable plan in the long run.

In fact, with the lack of momentum that all five men have going into this match, Bryan retaining is pretty much a guarantee at this point.
