WWE Elimination Chamber 2021: 5 Superstars who desperately need to win at the PPV

#4 Roman Reigns (Universal Championship match at Elimination Chamber)

Roman Reigns needs this backup more than anything

Roman Reigns’ victory at Elimination Chamber might seem like the easiest prediction on paper. However, he needs this victory just as much as any other Superstar mentioned in this list. The Tribal Chief is enjoying a great run as a heel, and his title reign has played an essential part in the portrayal of his arrogant self. He needs that gold to rest on his shoulder, at least until WrestleMania.

Reigns has not yet defended his championship by picking a clean victory over any of his challengers. That could change at Elimination Chamber as he will already have a massive advantage over whoever has to face him after a brutal qualifying match. Reigns might walk out as soon as the Elimination Chamber match ends without even allowing his challenger to catch his breath.

That said, we still can’t rule out an interference as fans expect Jimmy Uso to make his return and confirm his allegiance to The Head of the Table. This secret weapon would make for a great surprise at the pay-per-view. Finally, a successful title defense for Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber will finally prompt Edge to pick the Universal Champion as his WrestleMania opponent.
