Seven New Feuds WWE Can Make After Elimination Chamber 2021

Drew McIntyre vs. The Miz vs. Bobby Lashley

The Miz finally cashed-in Money in the Bank, bringing a storyline that had been quietly building in the background for the last four months to fruition. There are a few directions WWE can go from here but I'll start with the obvious — McIntyre needs to get his hands on both Miz and Bobby Lashley for what happened on Sunday night. My guess is that shot of Miz and MVP talking backstage was them working out a deal where Lashley attacks McIntyre, Miz gets an easy cash-in and Lashley gets the first crack at the newly crowned champion. I wouldn't be shocked if Fastlane's main event winds up being a triple threat, and it's entirely possible that Drew wins the title for a third time to cap off WWE's first pay-per-view on Peacock.

The Miz vs. Bad Bunny

We've all heard the rumors of Bad Bunny getting to have a WWE match, and his backstage slap during Sunday's show makes it pretty clear that Miz will be involved. I'm thinking Miz drops the title next month at Fastlane, then gets a match with Bunny at WrestleMania. There's always the chance Miz faces Bunny on Night 1 and defends his title against a real opponent on Night 2, but let's hope WWE doesn't mix their celebrity cameos with their most prestigious championship.

Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley

Asuka was nowhere to be seen during Elimination Chamber and the decision to pull her match from the show was apparently a last-minute decision (so last-minute that they still promoted it on the kickoff show). I'll say exactly what I said last month — "The Empress" has been treated like an afterthought and deserves a good match at WrestleMania, so let's keep building toward this triple threat now that Lacey Evans is firmly out of the picture.

Randy Orton vs. A Revived Fiend

I was shocked that Alexa Bliss didn't get involved in Sunday's Chamber match given how Randy Orton can't have a match on Raw lately without her popping up to do something spooky. This seems to be firmly locked in for WrestleMania, so now we're all just waiting to see what the revived version of The Fiend looks like.

Riddle vs. Cedric Alexander

Riddle managed to leave Elimination Chamber as the new United States Champion, but now that Lashley has his sights set on the WWE Championship he's probably not going to waste much time getting the US Title back. That being said, I don't get the feeling the Hurt Business is done with "The Original Bro" just yet. As the group continues to tease issues between Alexander and Shelton Benjamin, it might make sense for "Prime" to try and take out Riddle only to get beaten down or sabotaged by his tag partner.

Cesaro vs. Seth Rollins

Cesaro had a killer performance in Sunday's chamber match and the recent issues with Rollins on SmackDown make it pretty obvious that's where "The Swiss Superman" is headed.

Big E vs. Apollo Crews

Crews went full heel on SmackDown and "dropped" the steel steps on Big E's head. I expect the Intercontinental Champion will want some revenge very soon.
