#4. WWE had the chance to create a new main event-level talent

If WWE had booked the Men’s Chamber Match for the Undisputed WWE Championship instead of just for the number one contender spot, it would have allowed the global juggernaut to bring fresh talents into the main event scene.

While the main event scene always features a handful of superstars, it would have been an opportunity for rising talents like Trick Williams or Ilja Dragunov to showcase their potential as future main eventers.

#3. Would’ve allowed Randy Orton to return to the Undisputed WWE Title picture

Although Randy Orton has secured his spot in the Elimination Chamber Match, his chances of winning the bout to face Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship at The Show of Shows are slim. The bout is expected to feature several top names who might have more momentum than The Viper.

That said, booking The Scottish Warrior to defend the gold in a Chamber match would have brought The Viper into the world title picture. He could’ve come close to dethroning McIntyre before possibly turning heel for the first time in years.

#2. Drew McIntyre could’ve dealt with both Cody Rhodes and Jacob Fatu at the same time

Drew McIntyre has been at loggerheads with Cody Rhodes and Jacob Fatu since he won the Undisputed WWE Championship in a Three Stages of Hell Match earlier this year.

While fans were expecting a Triple Threat Match involving the trio for SmackDown’s big one at WrestleMania 42, it all came crashing down when it was announced that the winner of the Men’s Chamber Match would face McIntyre at ‘Mania.

However, the WWE Universe would have witnessed the match they were anticipating if the Chamber bout were for the Undisputed WWE Championship. It would have given The Scottish Warrior a perfect opportunity to deal with both Cody and Fatu if they were part of the showdown.

#1. Could’ve allowed Drew McIntyre to prove to CM Punk and Roman Reigns that he’s the top champion in WWE

CM Punk claimed that Roman Reigns choosing Drew McIntyre as his opponent would have been an easy way for him to walk out of WrestleMania 42 as world champion. Hence, McIntyre should have defended the Undisputed WWE Championship in a Chamber match to prove that he’s the top titleholder in the company.

A potential win inside the unforgiving structure would have established The Scottish Warrior as a formidable champion ahead of The Showcase of the Immortals.
