Elimination Chamber 2010 PPV Predictions

On Sunday, February 21st, 2010, we get a brand new installment of the Chamber, with WWE's Elimination Chamber 2010 PPV. It includes two separate Chamber matches with both Sheamus' WWE title and Undertaker's World Championship hanging in the balance. There's five eager competitors from Raw and Smackdown respectively in each match looking to take the title and pave their road to Wrestlemania glory.

In addition, we've got the WWE Divas Championship to be decided between Gail Kim and former champion Maryse. Maryse has been hungry to get her title back ever since taking time off from Raw. Once the Melina injury bug struck, it gave all of Raw's divas a glimmer of hope to win the title via an 8-diva tournament. That tourney wound up with Gail defeating Alicia Fox, and Maryse defeating Eve Torres to set up the Finals.

You'll find Elimination Chamber 2010 predictions with analysis below, by match. Be sure to check WWE Characters the Blog on Sunday starting at 8PM EST when results will be update throughout the Chamber Pay-Per-View event, until 11PM EST!

Gail Kim vs. Maryse
WWE Divas Championship tournament finals

Maryse has been setting up her face opponent Gail Kim for the fall in this Divas final match. In t he past month or so on Raw, Maryse has pretended to be a gracious competitor, yet anyone who understands French has probably heard Maryse speaking in her true colors. She's consistently told Gail that she's anxious to face her and looks forward to a great match. She's also said she wants to bring honor and class to the WWE Divas division. We all know that's a crock as Mr. McMahon would say. Look for Maryse to play dirty in this match and bring home her second Divas Championship reign via pinfall over Gail Kim.

Prediction: Maryse wins the WWE Divas Championship by pinfall.

Kane vs. Drew McIntyre
Intercontinental title match

This match came about after these two superstars met on Smackdown, yet no clear winner was decided. In the match, both men toppled over the top rope, and Kane beat on Drew McIntyre outside the ring, despite being counted out. After the bell, McIntyre delivered a boot to Kane's face in the ring. He got his IC belt and tried to run at Kane with it, but Kane avoided it, then hit the Chokeslam on McIntyre. Recently on Smackdown, the two wrestlers tangled again, after Kane had defeated Dolph Ziggler in a match. Kane again got the upperhand, as McIntyre was forced out of the ring to retreat. With the IC title on the line, this match will look to establish McIntyre even more. He'll likely win due to some sort of cheap shot or using an illegal weapon with the ref not noticing it to keep his undefeated nature in tact, and get a big push win against Kane.

Prediction: Drew McIntyre wins by pinfall to retain.

Raw Elimination Chamber for WWE Title

I see one of two wrestlers walking out as the champion from this one. Sheamus has been consistently shown as the overbearing warrior who attacks all competitors, and cheats to secure his title. He was recently shown hitting his boot kick on Cena, then using his finisher on Triple H to leave both guys layed out in the ring on Raw. Whoever walks out as the winner will headline WM26 as the champ, and although it's surprising to say it, Sheamus will probably retain, with some sort of cheap win against Triple H. This will set up Triple H to be in yet another Wrestlemania main event, as challenger. He may of course win the title to set up a Wrestlemania rematch with Sheamus.

So what about Cena? Well, it's looking like Batista may play a part in the match, maybe attacking Cena before it begins or once Cena's involved in the match. That will further the Cena-Batista feud which is being built into a Wrestlemania match between the two wrestlers.

Prediction: Sheamus retains the WWE Championship by pinfall over Triple H.

Smackdown Elimination Chamber for World Heavyweight Title

The Undertaker enters as the champion, but most likely is not going to leave that way. Surprisingly, expect Chris Jericho to walk out as the new champ, setting up Edge vs Jericho for Wrestlemania 26. Could the WWE have foreshadowed that matchup any more in the recent promos on Smackdown? All signs point to Jericho vs. Edge at Mania with the title on the line, and Edge likely leaving as new champion.

Meanwhile, you might also expect to see John Morrison unable to compete and replaced by Shawn Michaels, despite him Superkicking GM Teddy Long down. Michaels will find a way to pin the Undertaker or take him out of the title equation in the Chamber, and that will set up their Wrestlemania 26 rematch. Possibly the finish involves Jericho, Taker and Michaels, with Jericho winning after Michaels Superkicks Taker down.

Prediction: Chris Jericho wins the World Heavyweight Championship.
