WWE Elimination Chamber 2012: Start Time, Live Streaming and PPV Info

The Road to WrestleMania continues on Sunday night with the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. Even though the WWE does a poor job of building the event because of early storyline development for the year's marquee event, it still tends to be an exciting show.

Both of the major titles will be defended inside the chamber, with CM Punk and Daniel Bryan looking to keep their reigns alive. Punk's biggest competition figures to come from Chris Jericho, while Bryan will probably be finishing his feud with the Big Show in one way or another.

There are two other matches on the card. Kane will continue his quest to make John Cena embrace the hate, while Beth Phoenix will defend her Divas title against the newly rebranded Tamina Snuka.

Don't be surprised if another match or two is added during the show as well.

Where: Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wis.

When: Sunday, Feb. 19 at 8 p.m. ET

Watch: Pay-per-view (local cable providers)

Main Event Preview and Prediction

While recent matches on RAW would lead the average viewer to believe the WWE title match is wide open, more savvy members of the WWE Universe know better. There are only two guys who could conceivably walk away with the belt on Sunday night: CM Punk or Chris Jericho.

The pair's feud will ultimately lead to an epic WrestleMania encounter that will rival The Rock and John Cena for the night's biggest draw. So it all comes down to figuring out which of those main event stars will emerge victorious. The only four wrestlers are truly afterthoughts.

I expect Punk to defend his title in an odd finish between himself, Jericho and Kofi Kingston. Y2J and Kingston had an entertaining match on Monday that made the latter seem like a viable threat.

They won't want either Punk or Jericho to go over completely clean and ruin the 'Mania build. Punk's time holding the belt will be more than four months before their ultimate match, which would add to the drama.

Predicted Winner: CM Punk

What They’re Saying

The WWE's official Twitter feed reports Randy Orton will not be cleared for action on Sunday:

Eve Torres also utilized Twitter to express regret over what happened to on RAW, including kissing Cena in front of Zack Ryder:

Undercard Match to Watch: Kane vs. John Cena

While the feud between Kane and Cena has had its moments, for the most part it's been a bust. It's basically been a big tease for a Cena heel turn that the WWE Universe knows isn't going to happen because of all the money he brings in to the company.

With The Rock set to return in a matter of weeks, it's time for this feud to get resolved. I expect Cena to snap at some point during the match, leading to a beat-down of Kane and eventual victory. There's no other result that accomplishes what the WWE needs to do.

Cena has been made to look weak at times over the past few months and was even left off a PPV card, which is extremely rare. He needs to become a powerhouse again for his feud with The Rock to reach maximum interest.

That starts with a definitive win over Kane on Sunday.

Predicted Winner: John Cena

Which Star Will WWE Bury? Tamina Snuka

The biggest problem with the Divas division is a lack of air time to develop storylines. That forces talented wrestlers like Tamina, who could be built into a viable threat if given enough time, to be pushed and buried in a matter of weeks.

There's only one potential feud which might get the respect it deserves, and that's Beth Phoenix against Kharma. Phoenix has been holding the title since October and hasn't even been challenged much, but that's about to change.

Kharma returned at the Royal Rumble, but hasn't yet started appearing on weekly television. Look for her to show up soon to start building toward a WrestleMania battle with Phoenix. In other words, Tamina will be back out of the picture before you blink.

Star Unaccounted For: Zack Ryder

Ryder has become a pawn in Kane's little game with Cena. It's killed basically any momentum he had built up during his short United States Championship run, and now he's nowhere to be found on the Elimination Chamber card.

He's recovering from kayfabe injuries suffered throughout the feud, but you have to wonder what will happen to him once both Kane and Cena move on to other things. Hopefully they allow him to get the U.S. title back and don't force him to start over from the bottom again.

While he might make a cameo during the ambulance match or in a backstage segment with Eve, he should really be defending a title he never lost in the first place.
