WWE Changes Plans For Elimination Chamber By Canceling Some Matches

They don’t have time. We are less than a week away from Elimination Chamber and that means things are going to get interesting in a hurry. With so many things going on as we go down the Road to WrestleMania, there is a lot left to get done. That is the kind of thing that can cause some confusion, but now one of the confusing things regarding the Elimination Chamber has been solved.

As you can probably guess, the Elimination Chamber pay per view is built around the Elimination Chamber itself. The match is a huge one, with a massive structure housing six wrestlers (or teams), meaning there are a lot of wrestlers involved in a single match. Having more than one can leave a show without a lot of talent for other matches, but things might not be as bad as they seemed.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, this year’s Elimination Chamber event will only feature two Elimination Chamber matches. The two matches currently announced as taking place inside the Chamber are a Raw women’s match and a SmackDown tag team match. Last week, Lacey Evans mentioned a SmackDown women’s Chamber match and Sheamus mentioned a SmackDown men’s edition, but these matches are not taking place.

The Chamber has had some moments. Check out some of the better ones:

Opinion: That’s quite the relief as there is no reason to have that many Elimination Chamber matches on a single show. Having two in a single night is one thing but doubling that would ruin the interest that the show has. Couple that with the fact that some of the matches would not have the most suspense as far as a winner is concerned and there was little reason to have four Chamber matches.
