5 Predictions for the WWE Championship match at Elimination Chamber

On February 17, 2019, the Elimination Chamber PPV event will take place in Housten, Texas as we will see 6 WWE Superstars battle it out inside the Elimination Chamber. It will be Daniel Bryan defending the WWE Championship against Randy Orton, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Mustafa Ali and Jeff Hardy.

This has the potential to be a show-stealing match due to the amount of talent that is involved. Each man brings something different to the table, with Ali and Hardy being the high flyers, Joe, Styles and Bryan being the technicians as well as Orton being the all-rounder.

So here are five predictions for the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship.

#5 Samoa Joe will make somebody tap out

We are currently in the midst of the build-up for the Elimination Chamber match, as the event takes place on the 17th. We have seen The Destroyer booked very strongly this week.

On the 5th February 2019 episode of SmackDown, Joe came out to the ring following Randy Orton and Mustafa Ali's match before he went on to brutally choking Orton out before attacking Ali as well.

Joe had the opportunity to attack Bryan too, but he was unable to due to Bryan's friend in Rowan coming out.

And during the main event, we saw Samoa Joe interfere to attack Daniel Bryan and Jeff Hardy as he then went onto choke Bryan out with the Coquina Clutch.

This suggests that WWE is booking Joe very strongly, as it also increases how deadly the Coquina Clutch is.

Joe will most likely continue that wrath at the Elimination Chamber as he will make one or more superstars tap out. This is to make him look as strong as possible before we head into Fastlane and WrestleMania.

There is a video below to show the impact of what a submission hold like the Coquina Clutch can have on an opponent.
