WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 Could Feature Many Surprises

WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 will air from the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia.

It will be the first of two large-scale annual events WWE holds in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia every year and the first-ever Elimination Chamber event there.

Eight matches have been announced for the main card of the show. It will feature two Elimination Chamber matches and appearances from legends like Goldberg and Lita in top title matches.

The premium live event will be the last major stop on the road to WrestleMania 38, so it will play a significant role in what the Show Of Shows will look like this year.

WWE probably has some surprises planned for fans to hype them up for WrestleMania season, something they were unable to do at the Royal Rumble last month.

So without further ado, let's take a look at six shockers WWE could pull off at Elimination Chamber today.

#6 In our list of shockers WWE could pull off at Elimination Chamber: Roman Reigns' Universal Championship reign ends

Roman Reigns will put his Universal Championship on the line against WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg in their first-ever encounter at Elimination Chamber.

While the odds are in The Tribal Chief's favor today, WWE could shock fans and have them witness Goldberg end another major title reign at a Saudi event just before WrestleMania.

Back in 2020, "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt lost his Universal Championship to Goldberg at the Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia just before WrestleMania 36.

If WWE has something like that planned, they may protect Reigns by having the match end in an unclean way.

One way to do so would be to have Brock Lesnar interfere in the match and cost Reigns the title. This would also make sense, as The Beast Incarnate wants to avenge Reigns costing him the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble last month.

#5 Liv Morgan wins the Women's Elimination Chamber match

Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss, Doudrop, and Nikki A.S.H will battle in today's Women's Elimination Chamber match to earn a RAW Women's Championship match in the future.

The six women will make history by participating in the first-ever women's Chamber match in Saudi Arabia.

It's quite obvious that WWE doesn't have any major plans for Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H, so they have almost no chance of winning the Chamber match.

Meanwhile, Bianca Belair and the returning Alexa Bliss are the top two favorites to win the match.

Rhea Ripley also has a good chance of winning the match but based on how WWE has built up the participants in this match. The Nightmare cannot be called the favorite in comparison to Belair and Bliss.

The underdog in this match is clearly Liv Morgan, who's heading into it after two back-to-back losses to RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch over a month ago.

Fans are behind Morgan, and if WWE wants to tell the story of an underdog at WrestleMania this year, she seems like the perfect choice for it.

Hence, the company could shock fans by having Morgan win the Elimination Chamber match to get one last match against Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania.

#4 Edge makes an unexpected appearance at Elimination Chamber

AJ Styles will compete in the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match against Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins, Austin Theory, and Riddle today.

The Phenomenal One is headed into the star-studded match after a loss against United States Champion Damian Priest on last Monday's episode of RAW.

So it doesn't look like he'll win the match unless WWE has plans to put him in the main event scene of RAW heading into WrestleMania.

The match Styles is likely to be involved in at WrestleMania is against WWE Hall of Famer Edge, and the majority of fans want it too. Both men have expressed their desire to face each other on many occasions.

WWE could finally plant seeds for the dream match tonight by having Edge show up to attack Styles during the Elimination Chamber match. Alternatively, they could have Styles run into The Rated-R Superstar backstage after suffering a potential loss in the Chamber match.

This would make more sense since Edge is a babyface and wouldn't attack anyone without a proper reason.

Edge is not on the match card for Elimination Chamber, but an appearance from him to set up such a huge match will definitely shock the fans.

#3 RK-Bro splits at Elimination Chamber

RK-Bro's Riddle will participate in the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match against Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar, AJ Styles, Seth Rollins, and Austin Theory today.

Meanwhile, Randy Orton is not booked for the show. This could either mean that he won't show up at the premium live event at all, or WWE has something else planned for him on the show.

One possible angle for The Viper at Elimination Chamber could involve his tag team partner, Riddle.

On this past Monday's episode of RAW, Orton lost a match to Seth Rollins in the main event after RAW Tag Team Champions Alpha Academy, and Riddle got into a brawl outside the ring. Orton probably isn't happy about his loss on RAW, and things could get more frustrating for RK-Bro today if Riddle loses, which is more than likely to happen.

The Viper may see Riddle as the person holding him back and turn on him tonight to go back to his evil roots.

WWE could set up a match between the two men at WrestleMania using this potential heel turn.

#2 The Bloodline breaks into the Elimination Chamber

After winning the WWE Championship at the Day 1 event last month, Brock Lesnar challenged Universal Champion Roman Reigns to a Winner Takes All match at WrestleMania. But Roman Reigns cost Lesnar the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble to make sure there was no chance of such a match taking place.

The two men will collide for the Universal Championship in one of the main events of WrestleMania 38, and Lesnar still wants to make it a Winner Takes All match. This is why he will try his best to win the WWE Championship in the men's Chamber match.

A couple of weeks ago on SmackDown, Roman Reigns' Special Counsel, Paul Heyman, made it clear that Brock Lesnar does not get what he wants; instead, he'll do what Roman Reigns wants him to do.

The Tribal Chief wouldn't want Lesnar to win the WWE Championship today, so he may show up with The Usos during the match to ambush The Beast Incarnate.

Such an angle would also help WWE in further heating things up between Reigns and Lesnar on the road to WrestleMania.

#1 Stone Cold Steve Austin sends Kevin Owens a message at Elimination Chamber

Stone Cold Steve Austin could show up at Elimination Chamber to set up his feud with Kevin Owens at WrestleMania. On this past Monday's episode of RAW, Owens cut a promo and revealed that he despises the state of Texas.

It is the home state of many WWE legends, including one of the biggest names in the company's history, Stone Cold Steve Austin. It will also host WrestleMania this year.

Soon after Owens' promo on RAW, reports of WWE making Austin an offer to return to the ring at WrestleMania emerged online.

WWE could completely shock fans by having Austin show up at Jeddah to send a message to Owens for what he said about his state.

The company is fond of using legends in Saudi Arabia to have the Texas Rattlesnake make an appearance there. WWE could potentially use such a promo to build a rivalry between Austin and Owens unless they Austin directly challenges Owens to a match at the Show Of Shows.

Owens does not travel to Saudi Arabia for WWE events, so a face-to-face confrontation between him and Austin won't be possible there, but an appearance from the WWE Hall of Famer would be enough to send shock waves through the wrestling world.

Which match are you most looking forward to at the Saudi event?
