Career Accolades: WWE Intercontinental Championship (4 times), WWE United States Championship (3 times), WWE (Raw) Tag Team Championship (4 times)– with Evan Bourne (1), R-Truth (1), Big E and Xavier Woods (2), WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship (3 times)1 – with Big E and Xavier Woods (3), World Tag Team Championship (1 time) – with CM Punk. Also has the record for most Royal Rumble elimination saves, usually by some crazy acrobatic manoeuvre.

Kofi Kingston is a late entry into the Elimination Chamber match, replacing Mustafa Ali at the last minute thanks to a gruelling hour-long performance on Smackdown Live. He's a highly decorated wrestler who has spent his entire career with the WWE or its developmental territories, but will he walk out of Elimination Chamber as the champion?

Chances of Winning the Elimination Chamber: 60-40 in favour of it. Kofi Kingston is one of the most criminally underrated stars on the WWE roster. He's held every title the company has to offer except either of the 'big belts.'

His massive, sudden push on Smackdown and inclusion in the match seems like destiny calling, and the fans are eating it up. With AEW hungry to scoop up WWE talent, it might be time for WWE to push its longtime superstars, and Kofi certainly fits the bill.

There you have it; The six Elimination Chamber combatants, and the odds of them winning the WWE championship. Questions or comments? Please leave them after the article and as always thanks for reading.
