The other men's Chamber qualifier worked too.

Drew McIntyre and AJ Styles are both former champs, and both could've realistically been involved in the Elimination Chamber scene a few weeks from now. Triple H pinned his hopes on Drew over AJ, but placed LA Knight around ringside so Styles has something to bitch about and a direct target.

It honestly looks like Styles vs. Knight will be on the undercard for one of the nights at WrestleMania, and that's a positive. Their issues have been bubbling away nicely for a while now, and a win over someone the standing of AJ on a card like 'Mania will do wonders for LA's prospects heading into the rest of 2024.

WWE ticked two boxes with this one match. McIntyre is in the Chamber, and two popular stars are at one another's throats yet again. Credit must go to LA Knight for knowing when to get involved and when to lay out too. It would've been easy for him to ruin this by hogging the spotlight.
