We track all the results as they come in for the WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view from Las Vegas.
Are two Elimination Chamber matches better than one? We’re about to find out tonight.
Following in the footsteps of the history made at the Royal Rumble, the Elimination Chamber is set to feature a women’s version of its namesake match. Six women, including Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, will do battle for Bliss’ belt. Not to be outdone, seven men will enter the Chamber as well, fighting it out to see who will take on Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania for the Universal Championship.
Because of the length of the two Elimination Chamber bouts, there aren’t many other matches on tonight’s card. There’s a much anticipated showdown between undefeated Asuka and Nia Jax, the conclusion (we think) of the feud between Bray Wyatt and “Woken” Matt Hardy, and a tag team title match with The Bar defending against the surprisingly effective-as-of-late Titus Worldwide.
There’s also a match on the Kickoff Show, which begins at 7:00 p.m. on WWE Network. Balor Club buddies Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson will tackle the Miztourage’s loyal soldiers, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. It sounds like a match that will be eminently skippable, but at least there’s some kind of in-ring action during the Kickoff Show if you choose to tune in.
