WWE’s Elimination Chamber PLE takes place on Feb. 28 at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The stakes are high, as the winner of the men’s chamber match will earn a title match against WWE Champion Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.
There have been a lot of rumors about Cody Rhodes and/or Jacob Fatu getting that coveted spot opposite Drew at the biggest pro wrestling show of the year, but it looks like one of them will already be out of the running by this time next week.
That’s because WWE announced that an Elimination Chamber qualifying triple threat match of Rhodes vs. Fatu vs. Sami Zayn will take place on next week’s (Feb. 13) episode of SmackDown. I guess we’ll find out if Raheem really does have the biggest dick on the blue brand when these three stars get it on.
Here is the updated lineup for next week’s show, which will air on SyFy instead of USA Network due to coverage of the Olympics.
With two championship matches and two Elimination Chamber qualifiers, it’s a pretty stacked show that WWE will be airing to a smaller audience on SyFy.
Will it be The American Nightmare or the Samoan Werewolf (sorry, Sami) who qualifies for Elimination Chamber next week? Will WWE book some kind of last chance qualifying match later on so the loser still makes it into the chamber?
Let me know how you see next week’s matches playing out on SmackDown, Cagesiders.
