5 Things WWE subtly told us at Elimination Chamber 2022: Legend set to miss WrestleMania, Unexpected SmackDown star to get singles push?

#1. Brock Lesnar's Elimination Chamber dominance and the fallout

It wasn't a well-booked Men's Elimination Chamber match. Surprisingly, the Men's Chamber match was less predictable than the women's. That was only because there was the remote possibility of Bobby Lashley retaining the WWE Championship and taking it to WrestleMania.

That didn't happen, unfortunately. Bobby Lashley didn't even compete as Seth Rollins hit a buckle bomb on Austin Theory through Lashley's chamber pod, cracking the shield and injuring the now former champion. He was taken out of the match, making fans believe that he would come back to win. He didn't.

Lesnar decided to take matters into his own hands and broke his pod open before proceeding to eliminate Rollins, Riddle, and AJ Styles in succession. Theory was surprisingly the last man standing and the only one who got any actual offense on The Beast Incarnate. It was a big sign that Vince McMahon's support for him extends off-screen as well.

However, the outcome was what it was, and the WrestleMania 38 main event will now be champion vs. champion, title vs. title. It will mark the only time in WWE history where two superstars have main evented three different WrestleMania editions.

Even The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin didn't do that despite sharing the ring at WrestleMania thrice in four years.

The Beast Incarnate's rumored backstage push for the match worked out, and this could serve as the ultimate coronation for Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
