Since The Beast Incarnate refused to have The Eater of the Worlds as his WrestleMania opponent, WWE had to change plans last minute. The company, then, chose to end the Lesnar vs Lashley match via DQ so that the latter advances to The Show of Shows, this year, to face Wyatt.
“Originally what was going to happen was Brock was beating Bobby Lashley at Elimination Chamber. And that was going to lead to Brock against Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania. And that’s why Bray Wyatt did that interview (calling out the winner). But after they did that, they had to change the finish,” wrote Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.
