WWE's Elimination Chamber premium live event will come to Montreal next year, marking the first PPV/PLE to take place in the city in 14 years.

WWE.com broke the news on Monday that Elimination Chamber will emanate from the Bell Centre on February 18, 2023, which is a Saturday. The previous night's SmackDown will also take place in the same arena.

This will be the 12th edition of the annual PLE series, which began in 2010 and has taken place every year except 2016. It has almost exclusively taken place on the Road to WrestleMania, between the Royal Rumble and Mania itself. Oftentimes, one of the chamber matches will determine a #1 contender for a world title match at WrestleMania, with the other major title challenger being the Rumble winner.

This year's Elimination Chamber also took place outside the United States (the only two to happen abroad), though it was a bit further away: Saudi Arabia. That event was headlined by a chamber match that saw Bobby Lashley "defend" his WWE Championship, though he was attacked and injured before he could enter the match. Brock Lesnar would win the WWE title and then lose it to Roman Reigns at Mania 38.

Combo tickets for Elimination Chamber and SmackDown will go on sale November 18, with individual tickets for each show going on sale December 2.

Elimination Chamber will take place three weeks after Royal Rumble and six weeks before WrestleMania 39. No other PLEs have been announced during that window.
