Elimination Chamber Fallout

On Sunday, Elimination Chamber shook up the road to WrestleMania as two titles changed hands. Rivalries began to take shape and we’re now getting a closer look at who is going to be facing who at WrestleMania. There’s still over a month until Mania, but here are the biggest storylines coming out of Elimination Chamber.

Will John Cena or AJ Styles find themselves back in the title hunt at Mania? Probably not. Cena lost the WWE Championship at the chamber to Bray Wyatt and that seems to be what everyone probably expected, but Randy Orton said on Smackdown Live last night that he refused to face Wyatt at Mania. Surely this will change by the time Mania comes around, but if it doesn’t someone is going to have to step up.

The women’s division is heating up as we inch closer to April. With Naomi pulling off an upset victory over Alexa Bliss, there’s now a lot of confusion as to who will face each other at Mania. Sure Naomi is currently champion, but WWE has done very little in letting her create herself on the mic before giving her the strap. I still ultimately feel like the match we will see is Alexa Bliss vs Becky Lynch. Mickie James is liable to get involved somehow, but I think at this point we just want to see Becky with the championship.

Can anyone beat American Alpha? I doubt it. With WrestleMania coming up nobody appears to be even threatening the current Smackdown Live tag team champion. There are no real developed heel teams on the roster, which makes it hard for the fans to believe anyone could ever be beat the current tag champions. Right now it looks like the WWE is moving in the direction of the Usos facing Alpha for the titles. The only way I see something changing here is if WWE finally decides to call up the Revival from NXT. If they do that then we could have a whale of a matchup going into Wrestlemania.
