The Elimination Chamber PPV will be taking place tonight. The show will feature two Elimination Chamber matches and more.
According to Mike Johnson of PWinsider, WWE will be making a change to the United States Championship match that is scheduled for the show.
Keith Lee is injured and has been pulled from the PPV. He was supposed to face Matt Riddle and Bobby Lashley. Here is what Johnson wrote:
Keith Lee has been pulled from tonight’s WWE Elimination Chamber PPV, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources.
Lee was backstage at this past Monday’s Raw taping but did not appear on camera. There were references on commentary to a potential injury keeping him out of tonight’s WWE United States Championship match with Champion Bobby Lashley and Riddle.
The belief among those we have spoken with is that there is indeed some sort of injury, but what that may be is not yet confirmed.
UPDATE: Johnson is now reporting that WWE is planning to do a multi-person match on the kickoff show. The winner will be added to the U.S Title match:
As of an hour ago, the plan is for WWE to hold a multi-man match – possibly a Battle Royal – during tonight’s Elimination Chamber Kickoff Show. The original idea was for a Battle Royal, but that could still change.
PWInsider.com has confirmed.the plan is that the winner will advance to the United States Championship match on tonight’s PPV, facing Champion Bobby Lashley and Riddle.
As PWInsider.com broke earlier this afternoon, Keith Lee has been pulled from the show.
