WWE makes its final stop ahead of WrestleMania in Los Angeles as Saturday will be Elimination Chamber, live from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Not only is the main event one of the most highly-anticipated matches in years for WWE but the entire card looks to have the potential to be WWE’s best in the past year.
Here’s a look at the Elimination Chamber card and previews for the biggest matches.
WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 Card
— Edge & Beth Phoenix vs. The Judgement Day (Finn Balor & Rhea Ripley)

— United States Championship: Austin Theory (c) vs. Montez Ford vs. Johnny Gargano vs. Bronson Reed vs. Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. Damian Priest inside the Elimination Chamber
— Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Sami Zayn
Elimination Chamber Preview: Main Matches and Predictions
Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar III: Who Has The Last Laugh?
Anytime there’s a Brock Lesnar match on the card, you should be paying attention. You should be paying even more attention seeing that Bobby Lashley may actually have “The Beast Incarnate’s” number which really can’t be said by anyone. While the head-to-head record sits at 1-1, Lashley has done nothing but dominate Lesnar when he’s prepared. Their last encounter at Crown Jewel saw Lesnar only walk out with the win because he survived but got a reversal on the Hurt Lock, forcing Lashley’s shoulders down for a three count before “The All Mighty” then destroyed Lesnar in rage. As we saw this past Monday on Raw, the domination of Lesnar remained the same as Lashley decimated his rival.
These two are two of the baddest men WWE has seen and with them both being at the top of their game, this match has all the makings to reach the levels their previous two battles have not. Elimination Chamber is often all about the Chamber matches, but this is different.
Two titans, one final match. This should be as good as it gets on Saturday night.
Prediction: Brock Lesnar
Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn: Can Zayn Shock The World?
The match. As Cody Rhodes awaits the winner of the main event of Elimination Chamber, all eyes will be on this very match for WWE fans and the wrestling world as The Bloodline story comes to its ultimate conclusion — with Sami Zayn trying to be the man to take down “The Tribal Chief” once and for all.
Seeing that Roman Reigns has been on top of WWE for just over 900 days with his Universal Championship reign dating back to Aug. 30, 2020, anyone defeating Reigns is a big story. Sami Zayn just happens to be the underdog of all underdogs to be trying to do so. The list of who Reigns has defeated in his title reign makes Zayn’s odds look all the more minuscule.
- Braun Strowman (2x)
- The Fiend
- Jey Uso (2x)
- Kevin Owens (4x)
- Daniel Bryan (3x)
- Edge (2x)
- Cesaro
- Rey Mysterio
- John Cena
- Finn Balor (2x)
- Brock Lesnar (3x)
- Goldberg
- Matt Riddle
- Drew McIntyre
- Logan Paul
The only two men to not get a fair shake? Seth “Freakin” Rollins, who won by disqualification at the 2022 Royal Rumble, and Sami Zayn, whose title match that lasted 15 seconds is what was the precursor to this storyline many months later. If there’s anyone, however, who knows the insecurities of the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion then it’s none other than Zayn. As he told Cody Rhodes on Raw, he’s been on the inside to see what makes Reigns tick. What he’s willing to do to be champion. And why he has been so dominant for so long.
At the end of the day, Zayn is at the disadvantage. The Bloodline will surely be there to support Reigns and it’ll be the decision made by Jey Uso that tells us if Zayn has any shot to win this thing. In the end, Uso is likely to pick family over Zayn, but if he sides with “The Underdog From The Underground,” then maybe, just maybe Sami Zayn can be the man to walk out as the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
This is the biggest WWE match since WrestleMania last year when Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar to become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Get ready. Sami Zayn is going to need all the help he can get.
Prediction: Roman Reigns
