Eh, as it is right now, the match is a little face heavy.  I could see him tricking Riddle out of his spot.

Brock Lesnar's first Elimination Chamber match ever and Lashley's second, he was in the worst one ever at WWE ECW December to Dismember 2006. Wonder who gets Roman Reigns' now Seth Rollins is in the Chamber? Big E?

Since it's a Saudi PPV probably around 10 matches. Not sure what the other chamber match will be..

With the roster cuts, can WWE still do a 10 match card and a second Elimination Chamber match?

Bunch of their own people don't even make most ppvs so yeah.

Didn't they want to stop doing the EC a few years back because of how expensive it was to move the whole thing from wherever it's warehoused (Florida somewhere)? I can't imagine the cost and logistics to move that whole thing overseas. 

I'd imagine they're doing a women's EC as well. Since the men's EC is from competitors on Raw it makes sense the women's would be from SD, but there are only like 8 women on that roster now. Having three women from each with the winner getting a shot at their brand's title would make the most sense. Bianca winning then completing the story of getting her belt back from Becky at WM would make the most sense, but we've seen recently they care more about showcasing part timers on the big shows instead of having logical conclusions to storylines.

That and the original version was unsuitable for some arenas with its circular shape so we've the square structure since Elimination Chamber 2017.

I shouldn't have laughed as hard as I did.  But I did.

Maybe the prince bought the chamber and paid for the transport?

I'm sure he has other uses for it between annual events with WWE...

Yeah, the name is a DEAD giveaway...

Maybe Newcastle is using it to train.

Usos vs Viking Raiders has been made officially via social media

[Casey]

According to SRS, Reigns' opponent for the title is a young and hungry full time member of the roster.

Spoiler

 

[DragonZombie]

Drew vs Madcap Moss is official.

For the Universal title, Roman (c) vs Goldberg .

[Johnny Sorrow]

I just had to explain to my nephew and his pals why we're not gonna watch the EC. " I can't boys. I tried once and yelled at the TV for three hours". That sparked me into going off for five minutes while they're trying to get back to their D and D game. 

[Phil4126]

Goldberg is much like Thanos. He's inevitable. I hate it, I dont understand it, but I know this is a thing that will happen so I'll just ride it out.

But for the love of god, why the hell is Madcap Moss and that stupid ass outfit he wears getting another PPV match against Drew? I mean god damn, of all the guys you could pick to push, of all the guys you give a PPV slot to, you pick him? Not Cesaro? Not Richochet? Ali is sitting home begging to be let go and you give tv time to MADCAP MOSS? What the hell?

[Phantom Lord]

From a continuity standpoint, what has Goldberg done to even earn a Universal Title shot? He beat Bobby Lashley in his last match...so wouldn't that mean he should want to fight Lashley? I guess they didn't think about that before they threw the chamber match together.

I think it's more of a " The prince wants Goldberg". Which is funny in a few ways.

I guess they could say that Goldberg is pissed off that he trained for Roman match at the first covid Mania, and since Roman pussied out of facing him then (and subsequently Goldberg had to face Braun whom he wasn't prepared for, and got, well "those hands"). Goldberg wants revenge for that, as well as the title back.

Women's Elimination Chamber match, the winner receives a title shot for the Raw womens title at Wrestlemania.

The 10 year old picture of Bill is fine. It still looks very close to current day Bill. But god damn why do they keep slathering the paint tool on his beard? 10 years ago we knew it was grey. Now he's in his 50s and it's full on white. No fucking need to make his picture look like a god damn AI robot wearing his skin. Getting close to that uncanny valley.

[RIPPA]

For the record - they are going with the "The WrestleMania match that was promised..." as the storyline for Reigns/Goldberg

Quote

It’s the WrestleMania match that was promised, only now a showdown worthy of The Grandest Stage of Them All will take place at Elimination Chamber

That line is in the story on wwe.com and was all over their socials
