Latest WWE Elimination Chamber 2024 Match Card Picks Before Go-Home Raw

The Road to WrestleMania 40 runs through the Elimination Chamber Saturday in Perth, Australia, with championships and top contenders decided in WWE's latest Premium Live Event.

Rhea Ripley returns to her home country to defend the Women's World Championship in the main event against "The Irresistible Force" Nia Jax, while six men and women will vie for the right to cash their ticket to The Showcase of the Immortals inside the event's unforgiving namesake structure.

Who will emerge from the night's card victoriously, their hopes and dreams of competing at The Showcase of the Immortals now undeniable?

Find out with these match card picks ahead of the go-home edition of Monday Night Raw.

The Judgment Day's stranglehold over the tag team division on both Raw and SmackDown dates back to the fall, when Finn Balor and Damian Priest unseated Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn for the titles at Payback.

Other than a brief interruption courtesy of Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso, they have ruled over the division with an iron fist, including a recent victory over DIY's Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa.

They will face another tough test in Perth as they defend against the recently reunited Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne. The newly labeled "New Catch Republic" will look to unleash their British Strong Style and put an exclamation point on their return by taking the titles from the dominant champions.

The outcome likely depends on what the plans are for Judgment Day at WrestleMania. One would assume, based on the recent creative that has played out on Raw, that those plans would call for Priest and Balor to retain and defend against R-Truth and The Miz.

As such, and without a readily apparent direction for Bate and Dunne as champions, this looks like another triumph for The Judgment Day on a night where those should be plentiful.

Prediction: The Judgment Day retains in the sleeper match of the night

Four former world champions, the reigning United States champion, and a Megastar make up the field for this year's Men's Elimination Chamber Match.

Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, Kevin Owens, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, and LA Knight will vie for the right to challenge Seth "Freakin" Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40.

McIntyre is the most obvious choice of the bunch given his established issues with Rollins, their history on the Raw brand, and his status as one of the hottest performers in the company.

We have already seen him and Rollins compete for the title, but that feels like an eternity ago given the evolution of McIntyre over the last handful of months and his new talent for expert trolling.

Could WWE swerve us and go with Orton, setting up a rematch of the WrestleMania 31 battle between he and The Visionary, or it could give Knight the nod and set him up for a defining moment in Philadelphia.

If there is a dark horse in the bunch, it is Paul, who lost to Rollins on the grand stage a year ago and has eluded to wanting to get his win back.

There are options but in this case, the most obvious one is the best.

Prediction: McIntyre wins, cashes ticket to WrestleMania 40

The sixth entrant into the Women's Elimination Chamber Match has yet to be determined, yet it feels rather insignificant in regards to the eventual winner.

WWE has spent years teasing and hinting at a showdown between Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley, but has yet to deliver. Those teases were amplified prior to the Royal Rumble, when Lynch vowed to advance to WrestleMania and challenge The Eradicator for the Women's World Championship.

She failed to win the Rumble match, but has one last shot at setting up The Man vs. Mami in Philadelphia.

To do so, she will have to get past longtime rival Bianca Belair, the recently returned Naomi, NXT breakout star Tiffany Stratton, and the revenge-minded Liv Morgan, herself focused on taking down Ripley.

Not to mention the unknown, mystery entrant, who will be crowned Monday night on Raw in a Battle Royal.

It will not be easy, and the match has an outside chance to be quite good given the chemistry the competitors have previously exhibited, but the winner is not in question. This is Lynch's match to win and for the first time since her crowning achievement in the main event of WrestleMania 35, she will enter The Showcase of the Immortals as the challenger to championship gold.

Prediction: Lynch punches her ticket back to WrestleMANia

Rhea Ripley has dominated the women's division on Raw since winning the then-SmackDown Women's Championship at last year's WrestleMania. She has knocked down every challenger put before her and established herself as one of the brightest young stars in professional wrestling.

Saturday, she returns home to Australia amid the greatest challenge to her reign as Women's World Champion to date, the seemingly unstoppable Nia Jax.

The Irresistible Force is doing some of her best work to date, mixing her ferocity with physical dominance en route to her most significant match since 2018.

The expected main event of the Premium Live Event, it should see Jax attempt to establish physical dominance while making the de facto babyface compete from underneath.

Ripley will do just that, vanquishing Jax with some display of her own strength, and ensure her place at WrestleMania.

Prediction: Ripley retains in a red-hot main event
