The Six are Picked in the Elimination Chamber

With WrestleMania approaching the road block is the Elimination Chamber for John Cena. However, will it be a foot note and will he feud with someone else by Elimination Chamber time. With the belt he is guaranteed a match with Randy Orton and the looming Wyatts. However, there are 5 others in the Elimination Chamber match.

1. The Miz
2. Bray Wyatt
3. Baron Corbin
4. Dean Ambrose
5. AJ Styles

Here is the Rundown of scenarios and commentary on the Matches. First John Cena

1. John Cena: John Cena has been there before many times and they would like a big time match to Headline WrestleMania and John Cena vs. Randy Orton would have an old feel to it and it is as if Vince McMahon is resorting to the past for a Main Event Match. Both stars have been there before and it wouldn't be the first time they would have two big names face each other.

Pros: Both guys are the Veterans and Randy Orton is having one hell of a run with the Wyatts and the storyline is interesting. Randy has improved on his acting role and he plays it well. His acting career has only improved him in plotlines and he could sell the Main Event. He has improved since the Golden Boy that was in The Authority. And he has become a champ that people would want and he could blend in with the New Era in WWE. John Cena is accomplished and would be there for name sake.

Cons: This gives no faith to the new talent coming in. I don't know if Vince would be holding onto the past and giving it to people he trusts, but John Cena doesn't have the same appeal as he would 5 years ago. He was a star that received the Hulk Hogan push. They designed his character. When he was on Smackdown years ago he was himself and he grew and then they made him what they wanted him to be and he had the polarized chants. Because at the time undeniably their was an AJ Styles. John Cena still has a run left, but unfortunately he is in a position that he can't full fledged go heel. This New Era can be an era where more then one guy could run with the ball then one and they might start to accept that.

2.The Miz: The Miz has done well for himself and got himself in Main Event contention and he does deserve to be in main event picture based on the work he has done in and out of ring.

Pros: The Miz vs. Randy Orton: The Miz would return to center stage and be in the Main Event of WrestleMania. It would be a Main Event you wouldn't think of. This would be a battle for who would be the Number one heel in the company.

Cons: However, it looks like Randy is entering the Rumble as face based on the pop he got after eliminating Roman Reigns. Anyone could have eliminated him and it would have looked good. Anyway the reaction that Roman got was when he beat Sheamus, but I am sidetracked. Enough on him. I will discuss more on Roman Reigns tomorrow. It would not have that Main Event feel and The Miz hasn't had the belt long enough to make it a big feel.

3. Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton:

Pros: They have been working this storyline for awhile. There is more build to this plotline and it is logically a Main Event that would make sense. It would give Bray Wyatt the Main Event feel. He has been there against John Cena and he has been there against the Undertaker and even featured a segment against the Rock. They have been building this storyline for awhile and it is time to give the belt to Bray to see what he does with his run, but he and his family have not had the opportunity to shine as much as now and it would pin friend vs. friend. Both Orton and Bray have a lot in common their Dad had once fought in the NWA and WWF. Bray's Dad had a great career despite him being not even mentioned. He belongs in the Hall of Fame with what he has done. Both have unique styles which would make the system work.

Cons: Could Bray handle a Main Event scene is he ready for it.

4. Baron Corbin vs. Randy Orton:

Pros: A new match never been done.

Cons: No storyline, wouldn't make sense plotline, Baron is not ready yet. Baron had only one major feud this year. He is not ready.

5. Dean Ambrose vs. Randy Orton:

Pros: Dean is the only Shield member to never to Main Event. And he deserved it one year, but never got it. It all depends on who they are pinning him up against in a WrestleMania Match. Also it makes sense plotline wise. Both have had the belt, but Dean never had that WrestleMania moment and deserves it.

6. AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton:

Pros: It would be a star studded match. Both never had a feud and it would add a feel for the Club vs. the Wyatts. Don't think AJ would love to face Randy Orton the Vipor.

Cons: Nothing bad, wouldn't mind seeing the match.


Here are different scenarios and one person will face Randy Orton still a lot of matches are up in the air. With WrestleMania approaching in less then 60 days and two Pay Per Views left between the shows. They are in Play off time. Each wrestler is fighting for their slot on in WrestleMania. Either they Main Event WrestleMania or they sideline it. And they are going to make it best they can. So far WWE Smackdown Live looks like the better of the two shows.

Joe's Gonna Kill Seth

In TNA there was a saying, Joe's Gonna Kill You. Monday Night, it was Joe's Gonna Kill Seth Rollins. If it was someone to make an Impact the way he did making his way to the main roster it was Samoa Joe.

What do we know about Samoa Joe? In his TNA days he had epic feuds with Kurt Angle, Scott Steiner, and AJ Styles. He was the guy that Kurt Angle went up against when he went in TNA. He was a member of The Main Event Mafia an elite group with Kevin Nash, Booker T, Sting, and Kurt Angle. He has been in the major plotlines especially against the Aces and Eights before they all bailed.

Then Samoa Joe came to NXT where he had epic rivalries with Finn Balor and Shinsake Nakamura. Samoa Joe has had a great career and the same argument could be said with him and AJ Styles. Why was he not on WWE when he should have been there.

Well to give you a history lesson TNA was red hot in a period of time and it fell apart after Jeff Jarrett and shortly after Hogan. I remember I watched TNA before I was happy to see it on TV and the stars that I cared about in a new promotion. So I paid every time it was on Pay Per View. I didn't care I wanted another option besides WWE at the time. To me TNA had the better product in that era. Until they got tied down and many people had issues with one another. TNA is around with their main star Broken Matt Hardy which came out of no where.


Samoa Joe then made his appearances known and WWE kept his appearance on the main roster a surprise. And he jumped Seth Rollins. If it's any way to make an impact have Samoa go over the biggest Baby Face in the company right now. And Samoa Joe has his fan following. You know where the Samoa Joe fans were as the AJ Styles.

Now we have an interesting dynamic in the WWE, the vets are people like AJ and Samoa, but they are new to the WWE and we are about to see what is going to take place in the WWE now that two of the biggest stars of TNA are there and also an added bonus, WWE have Kurt Angle in the company again.

For every mistake and complacency in the WWE, they make up for it. Many thought Samoa would fight John Cena, but they threw everyone off. They pulled off surprises before, but that was a surprise. It is like someone from another federation coming over.

Wrestling has no true surprises any more since the internet and NXT now, but when there is a surprise it is good. It only makes me think Seth is fighting Samoa Joe soon. And Kevin Owens somehow is dropping his belt to Samoa Joe. It is a more interesting match then Kevin Owens and Seth again. The Universal Title picture is becoming interesting.

Let's see if they make Samoa Joe a star or ruin him.
