WWE Elimination Chamber 2018: Predicting Match Card Results That Will Anger Fans

It's one of the most important stops on the road to WWE WrestleMania 34—so it's inevitable that some results at Elimination Chamber are bound to irate sections of the company's fanbase.

Most of the attention on Sunday's pay-per-view is based on the main event, where Brock Lesnar's challenger for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania will be decided.

But that won't be the only bout which interests fans. Here's a look at the matches on the card which will inevitably have results that won't please everyone.

Matt Hardy vs. Bray Wyatt

In many ways, WWE is in a no-win situation when it comes to Matt Hardy vs. Bray Wyatt on Sunday.

The feud has completely failed to captivate the imagination, with the company making a mess of Hardy's new—at least in terms of WWE—gimmick since Jeff Hardy suffered an injury.

The rivalry has been consigned to the lower end of Raw's card for weeks, and it is nothing more than filler when it comes to Sunday's show.

From here, the smart option is giving Wyatt—the talent who is in far more desperate need of something to work with—the victory.

Hardy's gimmick can survive this loss, simply because there is a long way left in the character's development. If Wyatt loses again, it will only further upset those who believe he's been poorly booked for months.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson vs. The Miztourage

At the time of writing, the only match on Elimination Chamber's pre-show features a tag match which makes very little sense.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson have been locked in a feud with The Revival for several weeks which, while it's yet to truly get going, has the potential to be one of the Raw tag division's better rivalries in time.

So changing the course of The Good Brothers' booking and moving them into what could easily be a one-time bout with Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas doesn't fit at all.

The only outcome here is Gallows and Anderson picking up a win which will set them on the road back to Raw's tag titles.

But WWE has shown little interest in Gallows and Anderson's long-term booking for some time.

Men's Elimination Chamber Match

The speculation refuses to go away. No matter where you look, it's all the talk that Roman Reigns will be winning this Sunday's men's Elimination Chamber match.

And that will cause plenty of controversy, even if fans have had several weeks to get their head around the idea.

For starters, while a Reigns victory would leave him in a high-profile match he probably isn't right for at this moment in time, there is also the possibility of WWE overlooking a far more appealing option to challenge Brock Lesnar.

Right now, Braun Strowman is Raw's hottest asset. On Monday, fans were ablaze for Strowman as he decimated The Miz, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel.

Sure, that's probably teasing a Miz vs. Strowman feud for WrestleMania—which would be no bad thing—but Strowman is the standout choice to challenge—and beat—Brock.

Whatever happens on Sunday, Reigns seems WWE's obvious choice to win the Chamber bout. That won't go down too well at all.
