In today's WWE Rumor Roundup, we take a look at the big match added to the Elimination Chamber on Sunday. With just hours left for the pay-per-view, the fitness of one Superstar involved is still unknown and that could play a huge role in the outcome of the match.
Before we head to the Elimination Chamber rumors, let us take a look at the two headline-makers of the day:
Brock Lesnar wants to put over former NXT Champion
Brock Lesnar is set to face Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 36 with his WWE Championship on the line. While the match is one the WWE Universe has been waiting for, it looks like Lesnar has been waiting for it too.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Sportskeeda's very own, Tom Colohue spoke about the match on the latest episode of the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast and reported that Lesnar is keen on putting McIntyre over. He is really invested in this storyline and there is a huge amount of respect between the two as per Colohue.

In addition to that, when you hear the crowd chanting one more time, Brock Lesnar heard it, Lesnar got up. He showed for it. Lesnar is doing everything he can to put Drew McIntyre over and he's been doing that since the Royal Rumble match. Brock is really invested in this and it's great to see. It really shows the amount of respect between the two men and it really shows how good a match we're going to get.
4 WWE Superstars heading to All Elite Wrestling?
Many WWE Superstars have joined All Elite Wrestling in the last year and it looks like 4 more are set to join the new promotion. Matt Hardy, Luke Harper and The Revival are the latest Superstars being linked with AEW.
All Elite Wrestling have been teasing the signing of Matt Hardy and Luke Harper for the past few days and both are very likely to join the promotion this summer. Adding to that, The Revival are at the end of their contracts and reports suggest that they have no plans of re-signing with WWE.
John Cena always pushed for Bray Wyatt
John Cena has been accused of burying talents during his WWE career but that is not entirely true. Tom Colohue on Sportskeeda's Dropkick DiSKussions podcast reports that the leader of Cenation wants to put Bray Wyatt over and has been backing him for a long time.
John Cena has gone on record a couple of times and it's been mentioned to me a couple of times, when it comes to the Elimination Chamber when Bray Wyatt initially became WWE Champion, John Cena really wanted to be pinned by Bray Wyatt.
He then wanted his rematch the very next, well not the next night, sorry it was two nights because it was RAW and SmackDown which was on Tuesday at that time.
He wanted that rematch against Bray Wyatt to once again take the pin, and AJ Styles was added to that match and Luke Harper attacked Bray Wyatt before the match to really amp it up.
John Cena is one person in that locker room who genuinely believes in Bray Wyatt. So I'm confident that he wanted to come back as it where to right a bit of a wrong and help rebuild Bray Wyatt. To help build Bray Wyatt.
Cena and Wyatt are set to clash at WrestleMania this year and it is obvious that The Fiend will come out victorious. If Bray Wyatt loses to Goldberg and Cena, WWE will have very little chance of making him look strong in the future.
As for Cena, he does not need a big win right now and will be happy to put the former Universal Champion over.
Asuka to be fit for Elimination Chamber?
Asuka was taken out of her match against Shayna Baszler on Monday Night RAW and replaced by Kairi Sane. As a result, her status for the Elimination Chamber match was in doubt.
However, rumours suggest that Asuka will be fit for her match on Sunday.
The hope is still that Asuka will be able to work the Women’s Elimination Chamber match this weekend.
Natalya, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan and Shayna Baszler are set to be involved in the Elimination Chamber match along with Asuka. The winner of the match will be facing Becky Lynch for the WWE RAW Women's Championship – a title she has been carrying since WrestleMania 35!
With Shayna Baszler expected to win the Elimination Chamber match, Alexa Bliss is shaping up for a match with Asuka at WrestleMania. She wants to get her hands on the Women's tag-team titles once again and has issued a challenge to Asuka and Kairi Sane.
However, Bliss has asked the former NXT Champion to avoid using the green mist on her.
Interesting match added to Elimination Chamber
Daniel Bryan will take on Drew Gulak at the Elimination Chamber on Sunday. The former WWE Champion issued a challenge to the former 205 Champion on SmackDown this Friday.
In the last couple of weeks, Gulak has been involved in a storyline with Daniel Bryan. While he has not fought him one-on-one yet, he has got others like Curtis Axel and Heath Slater to face the former champion.
Gulak revealed that he had a power point presentation ready to show Bryan his weakness which was the start of this storyline. Despite the help he has given Bryan's opponents in recent weeks, none of them have managed to beat the former WWE Champion.
The former 205 Live star then accepted the challenge and tweeted:
The last time I competed at home in Philly I successfully defended my Cruiserweight Championship. When I return this Sunday I will teach the man who used to be known as "American Dragon" a thing or two as we step in the ring for the first time ever at #WWEChamber!
Vince McMahon changes opinion on Goldberg
Goldberg is the WWE Universal Champion right now, a fact that is still not digestible for a lot of WWE fans. The fact that he defeated The Fiend Bray Wyatt for the title made things worse.
However, despite what fans think of the current champion, Vince McMahon seems to be high on Goldberg right now. Tom Colohue confirmed this on the latest episode of Sportskeeda's Dropkick DiSKussions podcast and claimed that the WWE Chairman never really wanted him back at first.
Firstly I think it's interesting what you say about Goldberg being the big star in Vince's eyes. Vince McMahon originally never wanted to sign Goldberg for anything. He had to be convinced to bring him in from the days after WCW. He had to be convinced to bring him back. Goldberg is not one that Vince ever really felt an affinity to.
Goldberg is now set to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania and he will be putting the title on the line against the Big Dog.
