The number of WrestleMania 40 matches grew during the Elimination Chamber, with two confirmed bouts while another pair was heavily teased.
Two WrestleMania 40 Matches Teased During WWE Elimination Chamber
By the time the Elimination Chamber concluded, we knew WrestleMania 40 would continue to take shape. Becky Lynch and Drew McIntyre won their respective Elimination Chamber Matches, meaning they are going to the grandest show of the year.
Lynch vs. Rhea Ripley for the Women’s Championship and McIntyre challenging World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins are a go.
Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and Iyo Sky vs. Bayley for the WWE Women’s Championship were confirmed ahead of time.
Still, that leaves plenty of room to fill over two tonights.
It seems Randy Orton vs. Logan Paul and AJ Styles vs. LA Knight will go-down in Philly. The Men’s Elimination Chamber Match is what created those two bouts.
LA Knight was doing his thing, wrestling and playing to the crowd. Once Bobby Lahley was eliminated, everything changed for Knight.
AJ Styles entered the Chamber as Lashley was exiting. He went after Knight, hitting him repeatedly with a chair.
Styles solidified is heel turn after returning about a month ago. Basically, Styles wanted Knight’s spot in the match.
Then, that brings us to the conclusion of the match. Randy Orton hit the RKO to eliminate Logan Paul.
It was down to McIntyre and Orton, who could barely stand because of his surgically repaired body. He snuck in an RKO and looked set to challenge for gold at WrestleMania.
Instead, Logan (who was already eliminated) hit Orton with brass-knuckles. That shot was plenty for McIntyre to leave the victor.
We will see if Logan Paul defends his United States Championship against “The Viper.”
So, does WWE WrestleMania 40 sound even better following the Elimination Chamber?
