#2 Drew McIntyre retains the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber

There can only be one man who leaves Elimination Chamber as the WWE Champion - Drew McIntyre. He will defend against five former WWE Champions, all of whom are older than him. None of them feel like they could dethrone McIntyre right now, including Sheamus.

The Celtic Warrior pinned his former best friend on RAW but isn't likely to repeat the feat at Elimination Chamber. McIntyre could defend the WWE title one-on-one against Sheamus a month later at Fastlane. Meanwhile, the other participants in the Elimination Chamber match don't really stand a chance at all.

Randy Orton is wrapped up with Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss, as we just saw. Kofi Kingston could be involved in some RETRIBUTION shenanigans at Elimination Chamber. Meanwhile, Jeff Hardy doesn't feel like the star he was in 2009, and AJ Styles has been beaten by Drew McIntyre multiple times.

As for The Scottish Terminator's opponent for WrestleMania, WWE will have to develop something worthy of the showpiece event. McIntyre's WrestleMania moment last year was marred by the lack of a crowd and hopefully, his moment this year isn't ruined by the lack of a credible challenger.
