The official preview from the WWE website is as follows:
After conquering Brock Lesnar to reclaim the WWE Championship in an epic showdown at Royal Rumble, “The All Mighty” Bobby Lashley will defend his title against five elite challengers inside the career-altering Elimination Chamber when the Premium Live Event emanates from the world’s largest pillarless superdome in Jeddah on Saturday, Feb.19.
In the wake of the announcement, Lesnar returned to Raw still fuming after Universal Champion Roman Reigns interfered in his matchup with Lashley and cost him the WWE Title. As a result, The Beast demanded to be added to this Elimination Chamber Match, and WWE Official Adam Pearce obliged.
Later in the show, after Seth “Freakin” Rollins announced his entry into the match due to his performance at Royal Rumble against Reigns, qualifying matches took place to determine the other participants in the match. Austin Theory, Riddle and AJ Styles were able to score victories over Kevin Owens, Otis and Rey Mysterio respectively to earn their spots in the chamber.
The Elimination Chamber Match will begin with two Superstars in the ring and four other competitors enclosed in their respective pods. Every five minutes, a pod door will open, allowing another competitor to join the contest. This process will continue until all pods are empty. When a Superstar is pinned or submits, that Superstar is eliminated and must exit the Chamber. The last Superstar remaining will be the WWE Champion.
Don’t miss all the action of WWE Elimination Chamber, presented in cooperation with The General Entertainment Authority and streaming LIVE from Jeddah beginning at noon ET/9 a.m. PT on Saturday, Feb. 19, on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.
WrestleZone will provide more information as it become available.
