WWE Elimination Chamber 2017: Most Intriguing Storylines to Track on Road to PPV

With just two weeks between WWE's Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber pay-per-views, there isn't much time for the company to craft together storylines for SmackDown's leading stars.

Luckily, the fallout from Royal Rumble will leave fans asking plenty of questions as Elimination Chamber approaches.

SmackDown is blessed with a number of top-tier stars who will slot into the show's main event with ease. The midcard is also stacked with talent who should make for another great show for WWE as WrestleMania 33 approaches.

Here are the most intriguing storylines for fans to keep an eye on as the show nears.

AJ Styles' WrestleMania 33 Plans

With six men stepping into the Elimination Chamber on Feb. 12, it's certain that at least four of them will come out of the match without any firm WrestleMania plans.

That could increase to five if WWE's plans move along at pace, but of all the Superstars who are in the bout, it's going to be most interesting to see what happens with AJ Styles.

The man who held the WWE Championship up until Royal Rumble looks to be in limbo.

WWE has been teasing tension between The Phenomenal One and Shane McMahon, but such a match would have a flat feel to it following a high-profile few months for Styles.

Will he end up feuding with Dean Ambrose for the Intercontinental Championship? Could he take on The Miz in a battle of the blue brand's big egos?

It will be fascinating to see how it plays out.

The Emergence of The Usos

It looked as if The Usos were going to return to action on Tuesday against American Alpha before utter mayhem ensued.

All of the blue brand's tag teams made their way to the ring in a massive brawl, which led to WWE setting up a Tag Team Turmoil bout at Elimination Chamber.

And while a few of the teams in that match have realistic chances at winning the straps, keep an eye on The Usos.

Their heel turn was a real surprise when WWE executed it midway through last year, and had it not been for injuries, they could have already had a run with the SmackDown Tag Team Championships.

On Feb. 12, they could return to the top of the division in style.

The Combustion of The Wyatt Family

With Luke Harper waning in his pledge of allegiance to Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton destined for the main event at WrestleMania 33, the future of The Wyatt Family looks rocky, to say the least. 

And what kind of shape the stable is in when Elimination Chamber arrives is one of the most intriguing storylines to keep an eye on.

Will Wyatt emerge victorious inside the Elimination Chamber in the main event with some help from Orton, setting up a fascinating marquee match at WrestleMania?

Or will Orton and Harper both turn their backs on The Eater of Worlds before then?

With only one more SmackDown show before the pay-per-view, there isn't much time to piece a storyline of that sort together, which may mean that Wyatt has the support of his family heading into Elimination Chamber.
