Bray Wyatt to battle John Cena in a WWE Title Rematch tonight

In the wake of his “brother” Randy Orton winning the 2017 Royal Rumble Match, Bray Wyatt doubled down on The Wyatt Family’s
chances at success by walking out of Sunday’s Elimination Chamber Match as the new WWE Champion. However, amid The Eater of
Worlds’ championship celebration, the WWE Universe collectively began to ask one simple question as the pay-per-view came
to a close: Does this mean Wyatt and Orton will clash at this year’s WrestleMania for the WWE Title?

Naomi is the new SmackDown Women’s Champion, but for how long?

Though no one can question the importance of the Elimination Chamber Match, perhaps the most impressive moments in Sunday’s
SmackDown LIVE pay-per-view came from the Women’s division. The female Superstars battled in three separate contests, each
more intense than the one before it.
It was out of that fiery atmosphere that a new champion was crowned, as Naomi overcame Alexa Bliss to win her first SmackDown
Women’s Title. However, there is no rest for the wicked, and the Wicked Witch of WWE is already clamoring to reclaim what has been
taken from her. And though Nikki Bella and Natalya certainly have unfinished business with each other, and Mickie James and Becky
Lynch seem to just be getting warmed up, any one of those competitors could turn their attention to the Women’s Championship in
the blink of an eye – especially with The Showcase of the Immortals on the horizon. Don’t forget about Carmella, either. Although
The Princess of Staten Island watched Elimination Chamber from James Ellsworth’s skybox, that doesn’t mean she won’t drop in on a
moment’s notice to seize a golden opportunity.

Who will rise out of the Turmoil to challenge American Alpha?

As SmackDown Tag Team Champions, American Alpha certainly proved their mettle in the Tag Team Turmoil Match this past Sunday
at Elimination Chamber. But with WrestleMania seven weeks away, which tandem will emerge to become Chad Gable & Jason Jordan’s
new No. 1 contenders?
It’s worth noting that during Talking Smack on Sunday night, Daniel Bryan did single out The Ascension, who impressed the SmackDown
GM both in the pay-per-view and with their huge 12-Man Tag Team Match victory. Is this the Konnor & Viktor that WWE fans have been
waiting for? Or are the tough-as-nails Usos gearing up for another showdown with the reigning titleholders? Perhaps former SmackDown
Tag Team Champions Heath Slater & Rhyno?

Is Baron Corbin destined to become Intercontinental Champion?

While possible contenders have already begun to make themselves known within the WWE Title, SmackDown Women’s Title and SmackDown
Tag Team Title pictures, who is going to step up to try to take away Dean Ambrose’s Intercontinental Championship?
Certainly, based on what we saw in Sunday’s Elimination Chamber Match, the answer could very well be Baron Corbin. After The Lunatic
Fringe snuck up and eliminated him, The Lone Wolf snapped and absolutely decimated the unstable Superstar – hurling him through the
Lexan glass pod before planting him with End of Days.

Will Ziggler’s aggression cost him or give him exactly what he wants?

Guys, what exactly is to be done about Dolph Ziggler? Taking Kalisto out of action on Sunday did not allow The Showoff to prevail
in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match at Elimination Chamber, but Ziggler was able to make his mark with a vicious post-match onslaught,
and caused serious harm to Apollo Crews in the process. The extent of Crews’ injuries remains unclear at this point. What is clear
is that someone needs to try and put Ziggler in check.
