Well, WWE Elimination Chamber has just concluded and while the show was compact with only 6 matches, it was action-packed.

Also, WWE got most of the things right for the event- Finn Balor winning the Intercontinental Championship, Sasha Banks and Bayley winning the inaugural Women's tag team championship. And it would not be wrong to say that WWE has finally started listening to the fans.

While the show saw the conclusion of a few feuds (Finn Balor vs Bobby Lashley, Ruby Riott vs Ronda Rousey) it also laid down the breadcrumbs for a few new feuds and storylines. Given that WWE Fastlane is scheduled for March 10, we might see WWE converting these feuds into potential matches for the event.

So, without further ado, let's take a look at 3 feuds that the Elimination Chamber laid the foundation for.

#3 A 3-on-1 scenario: The Monster among Men vs Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre

Braun Strowman faced Baron Corbin in a No Disqualification match at Elimination Chamber. While Strowman was dominating the proceedings in the early parts of the match, the equation soon changed when Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre decided to interfere in the match.

Yes, the trio then completely decimated Strowman to hand over a cheap victory to Baron Corbin.

Thus, a potential feud between Strowman vs Drew McIntyre, Lashley and Corbin looks totally on the cards for the coming weeks.

WWE could then add Kevin Owens and Finn Balor into the feud to make it a 3-on-3, however, given Strowman has lost all his momentum in the last few months, WWE Creative could just go on with a 3-on-1 handicap match for Fastlane, if they decide to make him look invincible, in order to regain his lost momentum.

#2 Kofi Kingston vs Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship

Kofi Kingston replaced Mustafa Ali to earn a spot in the 6-man Elimination Chamber match-up for the WWE Championship just last week, and after turning heads in the gauntlet match last week on SmackDown live, tonight, Kofi won hearts in the WWE Championship match.

The high flyer not only outlasted four high profile names to go one on one against Daniel Bryan but also eliminated The Viper, Randy Orton. However, the talking point of this has to be the fight that he took to Bryan. He showed character and fought with Bryan neck-to-neck until succumbing to a running knee from the champion.

However, given the massive pops and cheers that he has been getting, plus, his recent overwhelming stint in the chamber match, Kofi is not done yet.

With WWE Fastlane scheduled for next month, WWE could sneak in with a Kofi Kingston vs Daniel Bryan matchup for the WWE Championship before WrestleMania 35. Also, given he is crazy over among fans it would truly be 'best for business'.

#1 Randy Orton vs AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe

Well, while Kofi Kingston showed character and performed brilliantly to go in the final two with Daniel Bryan, The Viper Randy Orton, Samoa Joe and AJ Styles, despite having their moments, were eliminated early in the contest.

Before getting eliminated by Kofi, Randy Orton had not only eliminated AJ Styles but also dominated him for the most part. Thus, with Daniel Bryan likely to be involved in a feud with Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship in the coming weeks, WWE could use the Elimination Chamber storyline and give us a blockbuster feud between Orton and Styles.

Also, it should be noted that Samoa Joe was eliminated by AJ Styles and the duo have quite a history between them thus, WWE could add Joe in the feud to give us a mouthwatering triple threat matchup for WWE Fastlane.
