After the situation of the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship was clarified ahead of WrestleMania 40 with Cody Rhodes challenging Roman Reigns, the question remained as to how Seth Rollins‘ challenger was going to be determined in the most important event of the year. Later, that doubt was also dispelled.

Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce announced that on February 24, at Elimination Chamber 2024, there will be an ‘Elimination Chamber Match’ featuring six superstars, and the winner will face Rollins at WrestleMania 40 for the undisputed WWE Universal Championship. This led to a qualifier for the six spots, and we finally have our six contenders: Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, Randy Orton, Logan Paul, Kevin Owens, and Bobby Lashley. And here, let’s find out which superstar is more likely to get the title shot by winning the PLE.

Least to most likely to win the Elimination Chamber

Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley got a win against Bronson Reed to qualify for the Elimination Chamber. And while he does seem like a strong candidate for the win and a match against him would surely be a match of brawn vs. brains for the ‘Architect’ Rollins, it seems highly unlikely right now. The WWE does not have a proper plan for Lashley, and there has been no hint of an upcoming feud between Rollins and him to have a title match.

Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens is a really strong and capable superstar, and having him face Rollins would surely result in a match capable of being rated five stars. However, Owens finds himself involved in a heated feud with Logan Paul, and with their last match resulting in an unfair win for Paul and Owens assaulting the Maverick post-fight, it doesn’t seem like the WWE would want him to move to a different opponent right now.

Logan Paul

As mentioned above, Maverick is currently involved in a feud with Owens. And it would be a waste of opportunity for the WWE to make the US Champion face the World Heavyweight Champion rather than defend his own title against the Canadian.

Randy Orton

The Viper is in the best shape of his life and feels all ready to get into the title picture. However, like the ones above, he too lacks the motivation to go all out against the Visionary. Instead, him facing Solo Sikoa would make more sense, as the latter has been responsible for him not being able to dethrone the Tribal Chief.

LA Knight

While LA Knight has been in the spotlight for quite a while and enjoying peak stardom after being a part of a feud with Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, and AJ Styles, he suffers from the same issue as Lashley. Knight had a heated feud with Styles, and it would make more sense for the WWE to capitalize on that rather than make him face Seth Rollins.

Drew McIntyre

The Scottish Warrior has been in rampage mode ever since his character took a darker turn late last year. Ever since, he has been looking for an opportunity to reclaim gold. Maybe that is the reason behind him guiding Cody Rhodes to challenge Roman Reigns instead of the Architect. Seth Rollins and McIntyre have been at loggerheads for a while now, with McIntyre willing to destroy anything that comes in his path to glory. With the ongoing momentum behind him as well as the feud between the two, a win for the Scottish warrior is most likely to occur.
