WWE Elimination Chamber
Sunday, Feb. 23rd, 2014
Target Center – Minneapolis, MN
The following matches have been announced:
6-Man Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Randy Orton (c) vs. Sheamus vs. Christian vs. John Cena vs. Cesaro vs. Daniel Bryan
Intercontinental Championship Match
Big E (c) vs. Jack Swagger
The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family
Batista vs. Alberto del Rio
At least one more match for the main card, if not more, is expected to be announced for the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. A pre-show match has yet to be announced, but WWE hasn't been without one since they began airing.
As we have been reporting, it is likely the New Age Outlaws will be made to defend the tag team championships against the Uso brothers at the PPV. This could round out the main card – there was talk of having AJ Lee defend the Divas championship against Naomi, however after the Funkadactyl was injured by Aksana it looks like plans for that match have been scrapped, or at the very least pushed back.
Although nothing has been confirmed, the expectations are that Randy Orton will retain the championship heading into WrestleMania, going ahead with his match against Batista as planned. Creative plans for April's big event are constantly changing, according to reports, so anything is possible at this point.
