WWE Elimination Chamber Preview - 23rd February 2014
And that’s your main event
Till now the Elimination Chamber was known for being the demonic structure that changed the career of whoever stepped inside it, but after Sunday it will be known as the last pay-per-view before the Network Era, it will be known as the show were Wyatt Family and Shield squared off and most importantly it will be known as the milestone of WWE’s greatest success or their greatest flop.
With a lot of expectations on the company after a tainted pay-per-view run, they need to set the record straight if there are to make the opening of WWE Network a success.
We’ve been on a twisted path to the pay-per-view so far which included many predictions and hypes for the show. So with just less than countable hours to go for the epic show here is one last look back at what all needs to be set aside before you set in the couch holding the popcorns.

Matches to follow
Showdown
From just glancing over the card, the match between Wyatt Family and Shield stands out from the rest even though the Elimination Chamber match gives close competition.
The internal turmoil in the Shield is the main subplot which makes the six man tag team match the top one to watch out for. It could be the final match of the Shield as well since they are at the edge of destruction which might lead to the babyface career of Roman Reigns. Wyatt Family on the other hand will only be looking to make the life of their opponents a living hell since that’s the only thing they care about.
Elimination Chamber match is also bound to blow the roof off. Randy Orton is heading into the chamber on a low note but is still the favorite to crack the lock. John Cena runs closely behind the Viper as him wining could set up a clash between Cena and Batista at WrestleMania. Daniel Bryan comes in as the other possible winner but the fact that Kane is running behind him dims his chances. Other three wrestlers will be restricted to complementing and putting on a show but this one promises to be a stellar match.
Not much to be excited in the undercard matches as all of them lack the heat to match up to the main events. However, the Usos and Rhodes Brothers is likely to put on great solid performances which will call out the consistency of Tag team division again.
As for Batista and Del Rio are concerned, it’s just going to be the Mexican’s burial and the Animal’s rise. And hopefully Titus O’Neil and Darren Young would rise up to the occasion and make maximum utilization of the chance they got because it’s a make or break situation for both of them at the Elimination Chamber.
