WWE Dropping Elimination Chamber PPV

WWE

Reddit user MetsFan4Ever, a former WWE employee who has broken several WWE stories in the past is reporting that WWE is planning to drop the Elimination chamber pay-per-view. He wrote the following:

“Word going around backstage this past Tuesday at the SmackDown tapings are that the WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view will be no more. The early lead names going around to replace the Elimination Chamber name will be either WWE Fast Lane or WWE Fast Track.”

The reason is because there is only one WWE / World Champion right now. So they want to stay with the Rumble winner receiving the shot and have no Chamber even with the title holder in the match.”

He noted that he expects WWE to keep the Elimination Chamber Match around as a match for certain pay-per-views that call for it.
