The Elimination Chamber will be a significant turning point for many superstars, it's going to be a great night in New Orleans...

Brodus Clay and Tensai vs. Team Rhodes Scholars - LIVE on the Elimination Chamber Pre-Show
The unlikely pairing of Brodus Clay and Tensai could be working. Ever since the night on RAW Roulette, when Tensai shocked the WWE Universe by dancing with Brodus Clay and all the Funkateers, the team have went from strength-to-strength. Although they do not have a team name yet, these two huge men could be a force to be reckoned with. Their opponents, Team Rhodes Scholars in fact disbanded a few weeks ago, but are once again teaming up. Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow refer to themselves as best friends, and they do have great tag-team instincts.
PREDICTION: Brodus Clay and Tensai dominate Team Rhodes Scholars, embarrassing them but giving a good feel to the start of the show.
Will Tensai and Brodus Clay's momentum continue? Will they be able to score the victory? Or will Team Rhodes Scholars hand out another important lesson? Find out in the Elimination Chamber Pre-Show LIVE on YouTube, Facebook and WWE.com! (12:30pm GMT/ 7:30pm ET)

Antonio Cesaro vs. The Miz for the United States Championship
The rivalry between Antonio Cesaro and The Miz has quickly intensified. It all started on Main Event, when The Miz (who was on commentary) had enough of Antonio Cesaro's constant bashing of the American people. The rivalry has quickly developed over the past few weeks, and now the rivalry takes a turn into the United States Championship. Antonio Cesaro has been the United States Champion since SummerSlam, but The Miz is looking like one of the biggest threats to his reign thus far. The Miz has got his one-ups over Cesaro in the past, but this week on RAW, Antonio Cesaro attacked The Miz during his match against Cody Rhodes. The brutal attack by Cesaro left The Miz with an injured shoulder, possibly giving Antonio Cesaro an advantage in the match. However, on SmackDown, The Miz showed that he was ready, by defeating Cody Rhodes with the Figure-Four Leg Lock.
PREDICTION: Antonio Cesaro retains his United States Championship and the rivalry continues.All the numerous run-ins, the fights and trash talk, it all could be settled at the Elimination Chamber. Will The Miz put an end to Cesaro's dominance? Or will Cesaro be standing tall again?


Alberto Del Rio vs. The Big Show for the World Heavyweight Championship
This rivalry has become personal. Alberto Del Rio has previously beaten The Big Show twice this year in a Last Man Standing match. The first was on SmackDown early in January, and the second was following a brutal Last Man Standing match at the Royal Rumble. This time round, things are different. Things have got personal, and this time, Del Rio must submit or pin The Big Show to retain, something of which he has never done before. Alberto Del Rio has quickly gotten under the skin of The Big Show, from trashing his bus, throwing orange paint all over him, beating him up in a hotel, trying to beat him up in a parking lot... This rivalry has been stretched out all over, and not only on Del Rio's part. The Big Show had also repeatedly attacked Ricardo Rodriguez - a long time friend of Del Rio - and Del Rio wants to avenge Ricardo. The Big Show, who is in a furious mood, will be a huge challenge for Alberto Del Rio. Both of these men will be determined for a victory at the Elimination Chamber, it is all about vengeance this Sunday. The rivalry has been very enjoyable to watch, and the final match completes a great trilogy and rivalry.
PREDICTION: With WrestleMania round the corner, it's hard to predict the outcome of this match, and another loss for The Big Show would be damaging, but the prediction is that Del Rio wins, Big Show attacks him after, then Dolph Ziggler cashes in.
Will Alberto Del Rio be able to avenge his friend and retain the title? Or will The Angry Giant's fury engulf Del Rio's title reign at the Elimination Chamber?

Mark Henry, Jack Swagger, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Kane and Daniel Bryan in an Elimination Chamber Match for No.1 Contender Spot for the World Heavyweight Championship
It is one the most barbaric and punishing structure to ever be in the WWE. The Elimination Chamber, six men, one opportunity to headline WrestleMania. The brutality of this match speaks for itself, with history of pain in that Chamber. The careers take a turning point this Sunday at the Elimination Chamber. Elimination Chamber matches are always entertaining, the possibilities of events just increase the excitement. Mark Henry is probably the favorite in this match, after making a dominant return, already putting Rey Mysterio on the shelf and inducted many more into the Hall of Pain. But maybe the others could have a tactic to all eliminate Mark Henry? This has happened in previous occasions, and because of the danger that Mark Henry brings, that could be a solution. The World's Strongest Man however still is probably the biggest pick to win. But how about Jack Swagger? The All American American returned a few weeks ago and has made quick work of his opponents, bringing a new attitude and arsenal of moves. Both of the Tag Team Champions, Kane and Daniel Bryan will also be in the Chamber, will they be able to coexist, or will the opportunity get in their way? Could they possibly team up till the end? How about Chris Jericho? Jericho has lots of experience in this type of match, and definitely has the credentials to win? And then there's Randy Orton. The Viper seeks career redemption in the Chamber match, as getting back into the title hunt is a big objective of his. With the unpredictability of who wins this Chamber match, it's going to be very exciting. There are many combustible elements in the match, many previous and current rivalries all intertwined. But rest assured, these superstars are going to go all-out to headline WrestleMania, which means putting their bodies on the line. Expect shockers, expect OMG moments, expect the unexpected in this Chamber match.
PREDICTION: This match is definitely hard to predict. Mark Henry or Chris Jericho win.
Who will triumph in brutality at this Chamber match? Who will make it to WrestleMania? Who's career will be shaped forever? It all goes down in this Elimination Chamber match!


John Cena, Sheamus and Ryback vs. The Shield
It maybe All-Star Weekend in the NBA, but Ryback, Cena and Sheamus have assembled an All-Star team for themselves. For months, The Shield have sent destruction through the WWE, attacking numerous superstars and putting the WWE on edge. They significantly attacked Sheamus, John Cena and Ryback. The trio had enough, and challenged The Shield to a six-man tag team match at the Elimination Chamber. Then, over the past weeks, Cena, Ryback and Sheamus attacked The Shield in similar ways which they did to them. At Elimination Chamber, they look to put an end to The Shield, and defeat them. It will be an interesting match, a big challenge for all competitors.
PREDICTION: The Shield shock them with an addition of their group or outwit their opponents to win.
Will the all-star team put an end to The Shield? Or will the objective be succeeded, the Shield from Injustice?


The Rock vs. CM Punk II for the WWE Championship
FINALLY... The Rock is WWE Champion. After his historic win at the Royal Rumble, things between him and CM Punk have just intensified. An irate CM Punk challenged The Rock to a rematch a few weeks ago, and CM Punk has constantly said that he is still WWE Champion, and that he beat The Rock. CM Punk will have to prove it in New Orleans, when he challenges The Rock for the WWE Championship. We are in for another classic. The great match at the Royal Rumble goes to Part 2, and the WWE Universe is very excited for this match. This past week on RAW, The Rock was addressing the WWE Universe, and he was interrupted by CM Punk. CM Punk made his way to the ring. A brawl ensued between The People's Champion and Straight-Edge Savior, and as The Rock went for The People's Elbow, Paul Heyman tripped him up, and CM Punk delivered an ice-cold GTS. CM Punk looked confident and ready for this match as he appeared on the titantron on SmackDown, and The Rock delivered a bold statement. The Rock and CM Punk are ready for this match, but there is one BIG issue. The Rock has lost his Champion's advantage, if he is disqualified or counted out, The Rock will lose the WWE Championship. CM Punk knows what he needs to do, anger The Rock and win the title, as The Rock gets Disqualified. Things are intense, but dramatic as we head into this match. It is going to be a match of huge proportions, that will set the stage for WrestleMania.
PREDICTION: CM Punk gets The Rock disqualified, with the involvement of another superstar, setting up a triple threat at WrestleMania...
Will CM Punk be able to recapture his coveted Gold? Or will The Rock be heading to WrestleMania? Watch Elimination Chamber Sunday February 16 LIVE from New Orleans!

The match card for Elimination Chamber is STACKED. It's going to be a great night from New Orleans, the final event before the Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania!
