Here’s Why Roman Reigns and Alexa Bliss Will Win at WWE Elimination Chamber
With WWE's RAW-branded Elimination Chamber PPV event this Sunday (February 25th) featuring the first-ever Women's Chamber match and the first ever scheduled appearance by Ronda Rousey - there's a lot to look forward to.
I mean, there's the "Roman Reigns is definitely going to win" Roman Reigns-iness of it all, but let's not focus on that. Let's just absorb it, accept it, and move along.
While Elimination Chamber isn't the last-stop PPV before WrestleMania 34, it sure feels like it. Fastlane could have a few fun bouts, but overall it just doesn't feel like anything big will happen on it. Elimination Chamber, more or less, has the responsibility of setting up matches for Roman, Seth, Miz, Finn, Braun, and Ronda. It's got more nuts and bolts responsibilities for a pre-Mania PPV.

A Warcraft adventure game called Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans was in development at Blizzard in the mid-90s, but never saw the light of day in part because of Blizzard North co-founder and Diablo creator David Brevik.
On the latest episode of our monthly interview show IGN Unfiltered, Brevik revealed why he's responsible for the cancellation of Warcraft Adventures, which was leaked a couple of years ago. At the time, educational software company Davidson (the parent company of Blizzard at the time) found success releasing a variety of adventure games, and Blizzard thought it would be a good idea to create something similar with a Warcraft skin.
