They usually do job faces out in their hometown to get the other guy heat, but there's also examples of guys jobbing in their hometown when they're heels, too. It's almost like a tradition in a lot of ways (though there's plenty of exceptions, of course) to have guys lose on their home turf regardless of face/heel alignment.
Lesnar losing the chamber seems like the most likely way to write him out of the title scene and into a feud with Taker, and of course there's way of jobbing him where he'd look protected. I'd have him start the match out and last until all six participants were in. By that point, have it so that it's down to him versus the other three because he's already taken out the other two out himself (one by pinfall, one by submission) and the remaining three (Orton, Cena and Punk, I assume) all recognize that he's the biggest threat in the match and needs to be neutralized immediately (or else he'll dispose of them one at a time.) And so they gang attack him and hit their finishers on him (and hopefully Orton even brings out the Punt Kick for this special occasion) and then one of them pins him. Having Punk make the actual pinfall would be a very nice callback to the Punk/Lesnar/Heyman stuff from last summer.
Easy way to save face (it took three top superstars bringing their absolute best all at once just to bring him down) while giving Lesnar a good reason to target the streak afterwards.

People are assuming that the championship will be defended in the Chamber match, but I'm not sure. Obviously, if it were for the title it would include the likes of Orton (c), Punk, Cena, Brock, Bryan, etc, who will all be involved in big WrestleMania matches, so how do 5 of them take a pin/tap out just weeks before the event? Instead, I think that the Chamber match could be for the right to challenge The Streak at WM. Lesnar can win that in his hometown, and you can throw in some smaller stars such as Jericho, Sheamus, and Langston, without the likes of Punk and Orton entering because they've already lost to Taker. The authority could give Orton the night off from defending his title for some BS reason. You could have him interfere in Batista/ADR. I think that would be cool.

Vince being in Punk's corner would indeed be horrible but I can't see Vince McMahon NOT being apart of the build to Wrestlemania this year. McMahon brings in ratings, and his involvement automatically makes any storyline he's apart of feel more important. Whether it be in Daniel Bryan's corner as a babyface (it makes more sense to have him square off with HHH anyway) or be it in HHH/Stephanie's corner against a rebellious Punk, I don't see him missing Wrestlemania.
They fired their head writer for thinking having a Fatal 4-way match to decide who faces Undertaker was a good idea, so no way they do that. It would be cool though since the streak is SO much more important than the belt.

The chamber match has been in February for awhile now so people jobbing just barely over a month before the big show isn't really an issue for them in terms of losing credibility. Besides, Cena is Cena and would be going over Wyatt at Wrestlemania anyway, so that wouldn't matter. Punk is fighting Triple H and him being screwed out of winning the title from Orton is a way of furthering his story with The Authority, so he's protected. Bryan might not even be in the match. The Brock thing I've mentioned in an above post. The other participants could end up being undercard guys like Kofi (who has went over Orton once and is getting a decent world title push, at least at the moment) and a returning Sheamus, and they aren't top stars.
The chamber match being for a shot at the streak is interesting, but I think that's only a good idea this year if the rumored Daniel Bryan/Undertaker match comes to fruition. I try to wonder what reason Bryan would have for going up against Taker in a face/face encounter and that one could be it - he wins the chamber match that guarantees a shot at the prestigious streak.
Yeah but the possible Chamber match people are talking about would be full of their big stars and, above them, Brock Lesnar. Take this year's EC match, for example. Bryan and Kane were tag-team champions. Henry and Swagger have never been big stars. Jericho is used to job out. Much less star power so it didn't matter as much.

How much losses matter is sometimes blown out of proportion. I mean, Cena took the quickest loss of his career in 2009's chamber match (less than two minutes) and yet he was challenging and winning the WHC at Mania the next month. Undertaker also lost his chamber match that year, but he was still putting the streak on the line the next month in an epic match against Shawn Michaels. I also recall Cena losing the US Title to Orlando Jordan on Smackdown just a few weeks before winning his first WWE Title at Wrestlemania 21 in 2005. None of the losses in the chamber match this year would make them look bad going into Mania.
Why would the self-proclaimed #1 contender just say fuck it and face taker? Punk vs HHH is going to happen, and i hope HHH buries the fuck out of him. Wyatt Cena makes no sense to me at this point, but i wouldnt be surprised, and Sheamus getting no pop for weeks leading up to the EC match should be enough for creative to not fuck Bryan over like that. I guess Heel Sheamus would have to work, but how?
I'm expecting DB or Bork to win at EC, Orton can face sheamus in the pre-show.

DUDE DID YOU SEE HOW EXCITING THAT PROMO SEGMENT WAS ON RAW!? GET HYPPPPPPPPED! WOOOOOOOOO!
seriously there's no way they've even thought about this this far in. They're probably thinking about 3 "marquee" matches (Punk vs Hunter, the title match, and Undertaker) and will throw everything else together last minute. I wouldn't put it past them to have leaked this information to get the internet fans all pissed off. For as much as we claim being worked is such a bad thing, boy is it easy to work us.
Even if it is true, remember just how obvious Ziggler vs Jericho was last year?: Also, come on. Orton can't beat Lesnar at EC, they HAVE to have the Chamber as the WWE World Title match, nothing else makes sense. Plus you can't have Lesnar job and then go up against the Deadman, gtfo with dat shit
The one thing I like about this card is that the only old dude vs old dude match is Taker/Brock which oughta be awesome. Still after all they've done on their show to pull us in one direction, boy would this be the wrong thing for them to do.
love how I got alerted of this post, it got 3 likes despite being really stupid and completely incorrect in hindsight. They aren't working the internet fans, they never have and they probably never will, and clearly this is the card.
