WWE Elimination Chamber 2019: 5 Surprises, Returns, Debuts, and Turns that could happen

There are so many combustible elements inside the Chamber this year

Elimination Chamber is now merely hours away and it's been quite an interesting few weeks for a number of WWE Superstars. Whilst the card itself looks like the usual underwhelming show that WWE presents with any pay-per-view outside of the top four, there is potential for this to become a memorable night.

The first ever Women's Tag Team Champions will be crowned inside the Elimination Chamber as the women step inside the steel for just the second time, whilst the WWE Championship will also be on the line inside the structure just six weeks before WrestleMania.

It's also worth noting that there are a number of injured WWE superstars who could make their returns to the company at this event to set up a potential WrestleMania match or even a few NXT stars who could finally make their main roster debut.


#5. Sami Zayn or Kevin Owens could make their return

It's been speculated that the only reason that Lio Rush has been added to the Intercontinental Championship match between Bobby Lashley and Finn Balor is that WWE didn't want Balor to pin Lashley.

It's the same scenario that was used to take the Tag Team Championships away from The Authors of Pain on Raw and it's hoped that it isn't what actually happens at Elimination Chamber.

Lashley may be the Intercontinental Champion and somewhat untouchable with Lio Rush by his side, but he's made some interesting enemies over the years and one of them is now cleared to make his return and reported to be returning as a babyface.

This means that Kevin Owens could be the man who evens the odds for Finn Balor on Sunday night and actually helps The Demon King to lift the Intercontinental Championship for the first time.

Of course, Sami Zayn, Bray Wyatt, and Luke Harper are all awaiting the green light for their returns to the company as well, so there is a lot of potential for returns if WWE needs them.
