Chad Gable is a popular star with the WWE Universe
WWE has obviously made the decision that they no longer book their show in order to please the WWE Universe since it's obvious that sometimes their fanbase makes more noise when the company goes against what they want.

That being said, it's well-known that Baron Corbin isn't well-liked by the WWE Universe and the company has pushed him as far as he can go as a hated character and as King of the Ring there isn't much that WWE can do with him that they haven't already done with him as an authority figure.
Elias is busy in a feud with Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon at present, so it makes it likely that Chad Gable could be the one to pick up the victory on pay-per-view on Sunday night. Gable has won over the WWE Universe a number of times when he's put on some of the best matches of the night on SmackDown Live against some of the hardest opposition, so given the choice between Gable and Corbin, it's likely that Gable would be the obvious choice.
