HUGE Spoiler For WWE Elimination Chamber Championship Match
What have WWE got in store in Montreal?
There's significant evidence to suggest Austin Theory will retain the United States Championship at Saturday's Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event.
Theory will defend the gold against Seth Freakin Rollins, Damian Priest, Montez Ford, Johnny Gargano and Bronson Reid in one of the titular contests on the show, but some news on future appearances for the current Champion may have given the game away before the match takes place.
This is according to Dave Meltzer, who noted in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that;
“Theory taped a television show that airs in March holding the U.S. title belt. That doesn’t mean 100 percent that he’s retaining it here, but it is something.”
There have been multiple reports that Theory was looking set to take on John Cena at WrestleMania 39, and though that doesn't necessarily mean the United States Championship will be part of the booking, various additional stories broke earlier this year that the two had filmed segments together during Cena's last brief spell with the company in late-2022. Theory himself doubled down on the rumours on the January 10th edition Raw when he celebrated retaining the strap against Bobby Lashley by starting his promo with Cena's iconic "The Champ Is Here" line.
