"I feel like it’s my year. I've earned it" - Former WWE Champion believes he will dethrone Bobby Lashley at Elimination Chamber
RAW Superstar Seth Rollins is determined to become WWE Champion for a third time at the Elimination Chamber premium live event this Saturday.
The Visionary's last world title match came at the Royal Rumble in January. He battled his former Shield brother, Roman Reigns, for the Universal Championship. The match ended in a disqualification victory for Rollins, so The Tribal Chief retained his title.
Seth Rollins was recently a guest on Sports Guys Talking Wrestling Podcast to discuss all things WWE. When asked about how he felt heading into the Elimination Chamber match, The Visionary acknowledged the difficult task ahead of him. But he also expressed his belief that he has earned the right to main-event WrestleMania this year.
"Knock on wood, but that’s my spot," said Rollins. "I feel like it’s my year. I’ve earned it, so we’ll see," Seth Rollins said. "I don’t think there is any chance that we’re main eventing WrestleMania without the WWE Championship. Before WrestleMania, we have to go to Elimination Chamber and we’ve got to win, which is not going to be an easy task. (...) We all have the same slim chance to walk out of there as champion."

The Elimination Chamber card is stacked on the road to WrestleMania
Most WWE events in Saudi Arabia have little effect on the current weekly product and have widely been considered as glorified live events by the WWE Universe.
But with WWE bringing a typical monthly premium live event there, the outcome of this show is very important to what fans will see at WrestleMania 38 in April.
The following is the card for this Saturday's Elimination Chamber premium live event:
- Rey Mysterio goes one-on-one with The Miz
- Drew McIntyre will face Madcap Moss with Happy Corbin in his corner
- The Usos defend the SmackDown Tag Team Titles against The Viking Raiders
- Ronda Rousey and Naomi will take on Charlotte Flair and Sonya Deville
- Becky Lynch defends the RAW Women's Championship against Lita
- The number one contendership for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania will be determined inside the Chamber, featuring Nikki A.S.H, Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, Doudrop, Liv Morgan, and Rhea Ripley
- Roman Reigns defends the Universal Championship against Goldberg
- Bobby Lashley defends the WWE Championship inside the Chamber against Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Riddle, and Austin Theory
