The Undertaker appears at WWE Elimination Chamber

Posted on by Joseph Currier

The build to AJ Styles facing The Undertaker at WrestleMania 36 was furthered with Undertaker making an appearance at Elimination Chamber tonight.

Undertaker appeared after Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson interfered in Styles and Aleister Black’s no disqualification match. Gallows and Anderson laid out Black with the Magic Killer and were holding him in position for the Phenomenal Forearm when Undertaker’s gong hit and the lights went off.

When the lights came back on, Undertaker was going to chokeslam Gallows and Anderson. Styles tried to give Undertaker the Phenomenal Forearm, but Undertaker caught him and chokeslammed him.

The lights then went out again and Undertaker was gone when they came back. Black hit Black Mass on Styles to get the win.

Undertaker also used a chokeslam to defeat Styles at Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia in February. The Tuwaiq Trophy gauntlet match at that show came down to Styles and Rey Mysterio, but there was an angle where Mysterio was attacked backstage by Gallows and Anderson. Undertaker took Mysterio’s place, chokeslammed Styles, and pinned him before even taking his entrance gear off.

The card for Sunday’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view is now up to seven confirmed matches.

It was announced on tonight’s SmackDown that Daniel Bryan vs. Drew Gulak will take place at the PPV. It’s being held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Sunday.

The storyline between Gulak and Bryan began when Gulak approached him backstage two weeks ago and said he had created a PowerPoint presentation about Bryan’s weaknesses and the things he’s been doing wrong. Tonight, Bryan challenged Gulak to face him at Elimination Chamber if he’s so confident that he can exploit Bryan’s weaknesses. 

Gulak then tweeted about facing Bryan: “The last time I competed at home in Philly I successfully defended my Cruiserweight Championship. When I return this Sunday I will teach the man who used to be known as ‘American Dragon’ a thing or two as we step in the ring for the first time ever at #WWEChamber!”

Humberto Carrillo to challenge for US title at WWE Elimination Chamber

Posted on by Joseph Currier

After last night’s Raw, WWE confirmed that there will be a United States Championship match at Elimination Chamber.

Andrade will defend his US title against Humberto Carrillo at Sunday’s PPV. The match was set up by Carrillo & Rey Mysterio defeating Andrade & Angel Garza on Raw last night.

Carrillo pinned Andrade in that tag match. In a post-show interview that WWE uploaded, Carrillo was asked about getting the title shot at Elimination Chamber. Carrillo said teaming with a legend like Mysterio last night gave him the power to handle Sunday’s title match.

This will be Andrade’s first televised title defense since he returned from his 30-day wellness policy suspension. He returned to the ring as part of the Tuwaiq Trophy gauntlet match at Super ShowDown last Thursday.

The Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is hosting Elimination Chamber. Here’s the updated card:

  • Elimination Chamber match: Shayna Baszler vs. Asuka vs. Natalya vs. Ruby Riott vs. Liv Morgan vs. Sarah Logan (winner challenges for Becky Lynch’s Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 36)

The card for Sunday’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view is now up to five announced matches.

It was announced during Raw tonight that AJ Styles and Aleister Black will face off in a no disqualification match at Sunday’s PPV. It’s taking place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Black faced Styles on Raw tonight — but only after winning matches against Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows. Black pinned Anderson and then defeated Gallows by DQ when Gallows wouldn’t obey the referee’s count and kept attacking Black in the corner. Gallows and Anderson also laid out Black with the Magic Killer before his match against Styles started.

Styles then defeated Black in their match. He used an Undertaker-style pin to get the win.

Styles vs. Undertaker is scheduled for WrestleMania 36. After an angle where Rey Mysterio was attacked backstage by Gallows and Anderson, Undertaker took his spot at Super ShowDown and gave Styles a chokeslam to win the Tuwaiq Trophy gauntlet match.

WWE has revealed how Becky Lynch’s challenger for WrestleMania 36 will be determined.

It was announced via The Wrap this afternoon that Shayna Baszler, Asuka, Ruby Riott, Natalya, Liv Morgan, and Sarah Logan will be the six participants in next month’s women’s Elimination Chamber match. The winner will challenge Lynch for the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 36.

The women’s Elimination Chamber participants have also been announced by WWE.com.

Baszler is expected to be Lynch’s challenger for WrestleMania. She appeared on Raw last week and took part in an angle where she bit Lynch after Lynch retained her title against Asuka. Lynch refused to get in an ambulance, drove off in it herself, and then returned later in the show. She cut a promo where she told Baszler that she better find Lynch before Lynch finds her.

This year’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view is taking place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on March 8. The Wells Fargo Center is also advertising that there will be an Elimination Chamber match to decide who will challenge for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36.
