WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Seth Rollins (c) vs. Dean Ambrose

keep belt throughout year and possibly into Wrestlemania
Andre – Seth Rollins retains his title
 
Elimination Chamber Match for Intercontinental Title
Wade Barrett vs. Shaemus vs. Rusev vs. R-Truth vs. Dolph Ziggler vs.
Ryback

enemy now that the feud with Ziggler is put on hold.
Andre – Dolph Ziggler
 
Elimination Chamber Match for the Tag Team Championship
New Day (c) vs. Tyson Kidd/Cesaro vs. Ascension vs. Los Matadores vs.
Lucha Dragons vs. Prime Time Players

in there when door opens and gives the newest associates of the Authority a
win.
Andre –  The Brass Ring Club
Tyson Kidd & Cesaro
 
Triple Threat Match for the Divas Championship
Nikki Bella (c) vs. Paige vs. Naomi
Mike – Nikki.  WWE trying to get
someone longer title reign than AJ had. 
Would pick Paige here if not for Tough Enough

Non-Title Match
John Cena vs. Kevin Owens
Mike – Kevin Owens.  Shows how
strong the NXT roster really is.  Can
especially see it since the titles are not on the line.
Andre – Kevin Owens. Then he disappears from tv for a while to let the
loss build up on Cena till Owens makes his FT arrival
 
Bo Dallas vs. Neville
Mike – Dallas.  This is the match
to put Dallas back in the main event roster picture.  Has a chance to steal the show.  A loss by Neville after showing the leg
injury will not hurt him.
