Last night on RAW, WWE announced they are bringing back the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. It will be available exclusively on the WWE Network. It will take place on May 31st at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.
PWInsider reports that the decision to bring back the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view was made within the last few days. Talents backstage at RAW were surprised to hear the announcement.
One of the reasons WWE did away with the Elimination Chamber was due to the lack of arenas that would allow the setup of the Chamber when renovations to older arenas made it impossible for them to handle the structure.
WWE is running a live event that same night May 31st in Greenville, SC. John Cena, King Barrett and Rusev are advertised for that event but the card is subject to change. The event starts at 1pm EST so technically they could get some of the top Superstars to Texas for the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event.
WWE has confirmed that the newly vacated Intercontinental Title and the WWE Tag Team Titles will be decided inside the Elimination Chamber.
WWE also has confirmed that the WWE World Heavyweight Title and the United States Title will be defended at Elimination Chamber but not inside the Chamber.
