Welcome to another instalment of 'Pixel Punk Predicts', where I take a look forward to WWE's second Pay Per View of the year, 'Elimination Chamber'.
Despite being the focus point of the advertising poster, Sheamus isn't scheduled to appear unless it's a surprise. So far only four matches have been advertised for the 3 hour event, so I expect a few extra short matches just to be added at the last minute, much like at 'Royal Rumble'.
Smackdown's Elimination Chamber
Khali Vs Big Show Vs Santino Vs Daniel Bryan Vs Wade Barrett Vs Cody Rhodes
So not only has Khali replaced the injured Mark Henry, but now Santino is replacing the Randy Orton after he suffered a concussion during Monday Night Raw. Santino seems like a strange replacement considering he's mostly a comedy act and there's some better talent on the roster. The same could be said for inserting Khali. because the guy is terrible at everything.
However, much like last year when Kofi Kingston was attacked and replaced, I can see someone like Christian or Randy Orton (disobeying doctors orders) attacking and inserting themselves into a chamber pod.
Regardless of the contestants I don't see anyone taking the title from Daniel Bryan at this point, considering a rumoured match at Wrestlemania could be a Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton, and Sheamus triple threat, more on that later.
I think at the end, the last two men standing will be Bryan and Big Show.
Pixel Punk's Pick: Daniel Bryan retains making Big Show tap out.
Diva's Championship
Beth Phoenix Vs Tamina Snuka
Probably the easiest match to predict and will likely be a toilet break for me.
Pixel Punk's Pick: Beth Phoenix to retain following a Glam Slam.
Ambulance Match
John Cena Vs Kane
The blow-off match to this feud, wrapping up just in time for Cena and the Rock to keep trading insults until next month's Wrestlemania. To make Cena look strong heading into his next feud I expect him to get the win here, I mean all he has to do is put Kane inside an ambulance and close the door!
I'm not a fan of ambulance matches, and this is only the second one within ten years. It's an awful way to finish a match. This could have been so much better as a falls count anywhere or a last man standing.
I see Kane Vs Zack Ryder being added to the Wrestlemania card at some point within the next month due to everything Kane has done to Zack just to get to Cena, it makes perfect sense to me.
Pixel Punk's Pick: John Cena via closing the ambulance door
Raw's Elimination Chamber
Kofi Kingston Vs Chris Jericho Vs Dolph Ziggler Vs CM Punk Vs The Miz Vs R-Truth
I think this is potentially the best match of the night, mainly because it's got more star power and talent than the other matches combined. Chris Jericho has already earned the right to enter this match last after winning the six pack challenge on RAW two weeks ago. Bearing this in mind, I have two mindsets as to how this one will play out. The only two options for me are CM Punk retaining his title, or if Chris Jericho gets the win to set up a rematch against Punk for Wrestlemania.
Okay, how about Jericho enters last but,before he can get his hands on Punk he gets eliminated by someone else, then on RAW the next night he can complain that technically Punk never beat him, setting up the one on one encounter at Wrestlemania. Yeah, I'll go for that.
Pixel Punk's Pick: CM Punk to retain via giving someone a GTS.
Now, remember earlier when I said 'more on that later' about Sheamus? Due to him winning the Royal Rumble,and being eligible to choose which champion to challenge at Wrestlemania, he may make an appearance to give a Brogue Kick to one of the winner's of the chamber matches as a statement of who he's going to challenge.
Now for an extra special treat. A few weeks ago, Chris Jericho cut a promo saying everyone in WWE was a Jericho wanna-be that stole from him. After watching a particular comedy roast on Netflix, I've discovered that Mr Jericho has copied a huge celebrity for his most recent return.
Here's Jericho in his new jacket with flashing lights:
