Who will walk out of the Elimination Chamber with the WWE Championship?

Participant #5: Samoa Joe

Real name: Nuufalau Joel Seanoa

Years in the pro wrestling business: 19 (veteran on the cusp of Ring General.)

Career Accolades: Ring of Honor Pure Champion (one time,) Ring of Honor World Champion (one time,) TNA Television Championship (1 time), TNA World Heavyweight Championship (1 time), TNA World Tag Team Championship (2 times) – by himself (1)2 and Magnus (1), TNA X Division Championship (5 times), NXT Championship (2 times.)

The Samoan Submission Machine was once thought to be an unlikely choice for the WWE roster, but has been on a tear ever since he signed with the NXT brand. Since he's been elevated to the main roster, he has yet to hold one of the main brands' 'big belts.' Could that change at Elimination Chamber?

Chances of winning Elimination Chamber: 80-20 against. Samoa Joe is a tremendous competitor but hasn't enjoyed a lot of momentum lately and his presence feels like he's just filling a spot in the match.
