5 Surprises that could take place at WWE Elimination Chamber 2019

#3 Big E replaces Kofi Kingston inside the Elimination Chamber

Can you use the 'Freebird' rule inside the Elimination Chamber as well?

I was frankly surprised when Kofi Kingston decided to enter the Gauntlet match on this week's episode of SmackDown Live. I had assumed that if anyone from The New Day had to be a breakout singles performer, it would be Big E, not him.

Of course, Kofi Kingston delivered and then some on this week's episode. But what if the plan is for WWE to push Big E on the big stage instead?

I know that a lot of people will not be happy because of all the hype surrounding Kofi Kingston's career-defining performance in the Gauntlet Match. But Big E is certainly no pushover and I would, realistically, think that he has a bigger chance of becoming the WWE Champion than Kofi Kingston does.

I doubt they'll have Xavier Woods in the match, however.
