7 shocking decisions WWE could make at the Elimination Chamber 2019 

#5 The Hype Man Gets Lucky

Why was Lio added to this programme?

Why does WWE do certain things that make no sense, why do they make certain decisions that don't benefit the narrative, and why do they make last minute changes that should not have been made in the first place?

These are questions WWE fans ask themselves every day, but to be honest, WWE is a company that has a plan in place most of the time, and while fans don't understand it as yet, Lio Rush's involvement in the IC Title match at the Elimination Chamber could be more important than we realize.

On the surface, it seems as Lio's inclusion in this match could just be a tool to stack the deck against Finn Balor, cause if WWE wants him to walk away with the gold then overcoming not one but two heels to do so would be a perfect way to book things.

But it seems likely that Balor's coronation as IC Champion would be saved for a bigger stage like Wrestlemania, so where does that leave the theory Rush's involvement of being more than it actually seems, well, if WWE is going for a huge surprise we could see the hype man become the main man at the Elimination Chamber.

Rush winning the IC Title at the pay-per-view would be a huge surprise, as WWE is so set on Lashley being built up as an unrelenting force it seems not even Finn Balor's recent push can stop him.

Another reason why this push may be warranted is due to rumours that WWE is supposedly setting up Kevin Owens vs Bobby Lashley for Wrestlemania, so if the previous point actually proves to be true, then WWE could make KO cost Lashley the IC Title and hand it to an unwilling Rush. It will be the perfect revenge for KO, and it will be interesting to see how Lashley copes after seeing his hype man with the gold.
