Cesaro needs to win at Elimination Chamber

#2 Drew McIntyre (Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship)

Drew McIntyre can carry the title a little longer

On Sunday night, Drew McIntyre will step inside the Elimination Chamber to defend his WWE Championship against five former WWE Champions. This includes Randy Orton, AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, Kofi Kingston, and Sheamus. While this booking ensures an unforgettable in-ring battle, it should be McIntyre who gets to walk away with the title.

McIntyre has had a great run with the title last year, and he has already feuded with Randy Orton and AJ Styles. While Jeff Hardy and Kofi Kingston would make for exciting challengers, the current direction on WWE RAW indicates an intense rivalry between Drew McIntyre and Sheamus after Elimination Chamber.

The two former best friends became enemies after Sheamus betrayed McIntyre. The fans have eagerly waited for their rivalry, and WWE decided to prolong it by avoiding that match at Elimination Chamber. If McIntyre retains his championship, he will have enough time to feud with Sheamus, and the two can lock horns for the WWE Championship at Fastlane, the final stop before WrestleMania. Sheamus deserves his hands on the world title, and the personal history between these two Superstars demands a better build-up before any title change.
