WWE Elimination Chamber Lineup After Raw

Rollins vs. Ambrose, Cena vs. Owens and two Elimination Chamber matches.

With Payback in the books, WWE only has two weeks to build up Elimination Chamber. That's why this week's Raw was focused on setting up four major matches for the show. Here are the announced matches. WWE Title: Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose - It makes a lot of sense since Ambrose beat Rollins clean on Raw a few weeks ago in a non-title match, so now the title is on the line. WWE waited until the end of Raw to announce the match after Ambrose threatened to put Rollins through cinderblocks that were ringside. They always have great matches. It should be awesome. John Cena vs. Kevin Owens - Owens debuted on Raw, didn't immediately challenge for the US Title, attacked Cena with a Popup Powerbomb and then we found out he was given a match against Cena at Elimination Chamber. This will be the first time they have wrestled each other. It's definitely a big deal. Intercontinental Title Elimination Chamber Match:Rusev vs. Ryback vs. Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. King Barrett vs. R Truth - With the IC Title vacated, we need to find a new champion. It's an interesting mix of talent since there's a mix of former IC Title holders and guys that have never held it before. The favorite is Sheamus although everybody has a shot in the match except R-Truth. That just seems unlikely. Tag Team Titles Elimination Chamber Match: The New Day vs. Kidd/Cesaro vs. Prime Time Players vs. Lucha Dragons vs. Los Matadores vs. The Ascension - It's the first ever tag team Elimination Chamber match where six teams will compete inside the Chamber and wrestle tornado rules style meaning there will be no tags in the match. The only surprise about the participants is that Luke Harper and Erick Rowan aren't in although it wouldn't be a surprise if they took out another team (Los Matadores) and got their spot. A Divas Title match is possible with Nikki Bella defending against both Paige and Naomi since they bot have a legit claim to get a title shot. Other than that, there's a lot of unknown. Nothing for Roman Reigns or Randy Orton right now. The lineup for Elimination Chamber looks strong at the moment. Even with only two weeks of build, WWE is going all out to make this a very good card. It's available only on WWE Network on May 31.
