A new report from F4Wonline.com has provided information on a few of the rumored matches for the 2014 Elimination Chamber PPV. According to Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer, the WWE Universe is likely to see The Wyatt Family face The Shield, Batista dominate Alberto Del Rio, and CM Punk get his revenge on Kane.
Following suit with current on-air storylines, these matches seem pretty predictable. Batista and Alberto Del Rio have been at odds verbally since WWE announced that Batista would be returning. Once Batista claimed that he would be entering the 2014 Royal Rumble Match and winning the opportunity to face the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Del Rio has been outspoken on camera about his disdain for “The Animal.” Batista would then attack Del Rio the very same night that he proclaimed his victory. These actions would serve as the catalyst for this match to happen at the annual February PPV, “Elimination Chamber.”
CM Punk has been struggling with The Authority for months. Dealing with Triple H’s attack dogs (The Shield) first, Punk has since moved on to the Director of Operations for WWE, Kane. The two have been both verbally and physically aggressive towards one another since 2014 began, which led to Kane costing Punk a possible Royal Rumble Match victory. Kane, after already having been eliminated from the 30-man battle royal, reemerged from under the ring near the end of the match to pull Punk over the top rope. He then proceeded to chokeslam Punk through the Spanish announce table, leaving both Punk’s body and WrestleMania dreams in a pile of rubble. A match between the two at Elimination Chamber seems inevitable.
The Shield and the Wyatt Family have just begun to tease a program between stables. During the Jan. 27 edition of “Monday Night Raw,” the Wyatts ended The Shield’s hopes of entering the actual WWE World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match. As the program drew to a close, both groups were eyeing each other down, seemingly hinting at a showdown in the near future.
As for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber bout, Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, and John Cena are the only three men confirmed to be facing current champion Randy Orton in the diabolical structure. Although not yet confirmed, Brock Lesnar is expected to also be one of the contestants in the Elimination Chamber Match. WWE.com has posted a poll asking fans who they believe will be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion going into WrestleMania XXX to face Batista, and the contestants named are all of the men listed above.
