WWE Elimination Chamber takes place later tonight. The card has two Chamber matches. The first Elimination Chamber match will see The Miz and John Morrison defend the SmackDown Tag-Team Championships. The second Chamber match will see the winner getting a shot at Becky Lynch's RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania. We will also see 4 Championships defended on tonight's show although neither the WWE Championship or the Universal Championship will be defended.

What surprises could WWE have for us at Elimination Chamber? We could see The Undertaker making a surprise appearance to set up his WrestleMania match, a popular babyface turning heel and a whole lot more.

#5 The Undertaker returns to confront AJ Styles

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

AJ Styles and Aleister Black will face each other in a No Disqualification match at WWE Elimination Chamber. Styles and The OC have been all over Black in recent weeks and they could definitely use the No DQ stipulation to their advantage tonight.

Someone else who Styles recently crossed paths with, in the ring recently, is none other than WWE legend, The Undertaker. If tonight's No DQ match with Black turns into a beatdown at the hands of Styles and The OC, we could see the lights go off and then have The Deadman show up to make the save.

The Undertaker coming out to save Aleister Black could also have an impact on WrestleMania if that is the direction WWE decide to go. We could see The Undertaker teaming up with Aleister Black at WrestleMania in a handicap match against AJ Styles and The OC. Teaming up would allow Aleister Black to help cover The Undertaker's limitations in the ring at this stage of his career while he himself would get a big boost from teaming up with the Deadman.

#4 Asuka attacked backstage to take her out of Elimination Chamber match

Asuka was scheduled to face Shayna Baszler on her WWE RAW debut on last Monday's show. However, Asuka was replaced by Kairi Sane in the match. Reports emerged after RAW that the reason Asuka was replaced by Sane was that she was injured and that there was also a chance that she won't be fit in time for Elimination Chamber.

If that is the case, WWE will replace Asuka in the match. The best way to do this would be to have Asuka attacked backstage by Shayna Baszler. The obvious choice to replace Asuka in Elimination Chamber would be Kairi Sane however WWE could surprise us by calling someone up from NXT.

The winner of tonight's women's Elimination Chamber match will get to challenge Becky Lynch at WrestleMania for the RAW Women's Championship. Former NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler currently looks like the favorite to be Lynch's WrestleMania opponent next month.

#3 Elias helps Braun Strowman retain his title

Shinsuke Nakamura, Cesaro and Sami Zayn have been quite an entertaining heel faction on SmackDown. The trio have been feuding recently with Elias and the "Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman. Cesaro and Nakamura faced Strowman and Elias in the epic Symphony of Destruction match a few weeks ago on WWE SmackDown where Strowman smash Nakamura into a piano.

Strowman will put his Intercontinental Championship on the line at Elimination Chamber in a 3-on-1 handicap match against Zayn, Nakamura and Cesaro. We could see Braun Strowman overcome the odds and retain the title with a little help from Elias.

Elias, who has himself been a part of this feud, could just come out and smash someone with a guitar to help put the odds a little more in Strowman's favor. This could lead to Elias later turning on Strowman to set up a title match between the two at WrestleMania in April.

#2 Drew Gulak beats Daniel Bryan after Heath Slater turns heel

Both Drew Gulak and Heath Slater have been featured more prominently on SmackDown recently. On the latest episode of SmackDown, we saw Daniel Bryan challenge Drew Gulak to a singles match at WWE Elimination Chamber

According to Paul Davis of Wrestling News Co, the reason behind Gulak and Slater being featured recently is that they are good friends with Daniel Bryan. Davis explained that Bryan thought both Superstars were being underutilized by WWE which led to him pitching the current angle to Vince McMahon.

Bryan is someone who always wants to elevate his opponent. With the storyline just having started, we could see Drew Gulak even pull off a surprising win at Elimination Chamber. If the storyline is continuing, we could even see Heath Slater turning heel and costing Daniel Bryan the match. Slater and Gulak could make a solid and entertaining tag-team down the line and this could be one way to get it started.

Last Monday's episode of WWE RAW saw Seth Rollins and Murphy put their RAW Tag-Team Championship on the line against the Street Profits. The match saw Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins overcome the odds to win and become the new RAW Tag-Team Champions.

Rollins and Murphy will get a chance to win back their titles tonight at Elimination Chamber. However, with Street Profits having won the titles recently, they will be the favorites to retain tonight. WWE could decide to have a dusty finish and one way to do it would be to have the Authors of Pain interfere during the match.

Akam and Rezar could come out to try and help the Monday Night Messiah but end up costing him and Murphy the match. If WWE eventually decide to break up the faction soon, AOP costing Rollins and Murphy the match could be used to start the tension in the group.
