With only 50 days the road to WrestleMania is in full swing. It started with last month’s Royal Rumble, and now we are on the final premium live event before WrestleMania, the Elimination Chamber. This year’s elimination chamber contains an ensemble cast of Seth Freakin Rollins, Logan Paul, C.M Punk, Damien Priest, Drew McIntyre and the returning John Cena. The elimination chamber will present all these heavyweights the final chance to book their ticket to the main event of WrestleMania and fight for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Let’s look at the 6 participants who will compete in this year’s elimination chamber.
1. John Cena
The one guy in this match who wouldn’t need an introduction. The 16-time world Champion is on a Farewell tour, and as he announcedced this would be his last elimination chamber, there is no guessing big match, John would come out all guns blazing to book his ticket in the main event of WrestleMania for one last time.
2. C.M Punk
Another Veteran and Fan’s favourite C.M Punk would enter his 5th Career elimination chamber. Punk has been on a roll since returning back from injury. Punk has defeated Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, and Sami Zayn in his run-up to the elimination chamber. Punk is Extra motivated by the fact that he has never main-event WrestleMania, and with age not on his side, this might be the best shot for him to book his ticket to the main event of WrestleMania before time runs out for him.

3. Logan Paul
The Social media star has taken over the world of professional wrestling like a fish to the water. Logan probably had the best rookie year this past year. He has already been a champion in WWE and even successfully defended his title on WrestleMania last year. So performing and winning at the grandest stage isn’t new for Logan and this year’s chamber would allow Logan to cement his spot at the main event of WrestleMania and become a part of history.
4. Drew McIntyre
The Scottish Warrior has had a mixed year so far if we look at from last WrestleMania. He lost his feud against C.M. Punk, took time off, came back won from Sami Zayn but again lost to Jey USO. Drew hasn’t gotten a lot of momentum on his side at the moment but we all know that Drew needs one chance to prove his worth and with big match experience of already wrestling in the elimination Chamber on his side Drew will have a good chance of Winning in the elimination chamber and booking his ticket to the main event of WrestleMania.
5. Damien Priest
The Archer of infamy is on a downward spiral at the moment. He had a brilliant WrestleMania last year where we won the world heavyweight championship from Drew McIntyre. Since then, Priest’s stocks have fallen from those heights as he lost his championship to Gunther first and then lost his friend and team member Finn Balor, who had coated him the world heavyweight championship multiple times. Since then, priest has moved on and has shifted from Raw to Smackdown. This year’s elimination chamber gives Priest the chance to start his dominance again by winning it and then going on to win the WWE championship in the main event of WrestleMania.
6. Seth Freakin Rollins
Last year’s Wrestle Mania MVP, Seth Freakin Rollins, has had a decent year. He had decisive wins over Bronson Reed and Drew McIntyre but lost to his long-time Rival C.M Punk on Raw’s Netflix debut. He again came back against Finn Balor and qualified for this year’s Elimination Chamber. Seth would be motivated to win this year’s elimination chamber, as the victory would not only cement his place in the main event of WrestleMania but would help redefine his lost importance.
