If you were wondering about less number of matches at the Elimination Chamber PPV, this Sunday, WWE has made it even more stacked by officially announcing two more matches on the show. This includes the kick-off show match which was initially vacant. After this announcement, we expect to see a tag team match on this show before the main show of the Elimination Chamber PPV.
It was speculated that a tag team championship match would be contested between Titus Worldwide and The Bar. On this week’s edition of WWE Raw, the team of Apollo and Titus O’Neil had a match against Sheamus and Cesaro. This was purely arranged to set the number one contenders’ spot for the tag titles which belonged to none, thus far.

After a bit of back and forth between the two teams, Apollo picked up the win with a simple roll-up by earning the pinfall on Cesaro. Following this, they demanded a title opportunity to he Raw tag team titles at the Elimination Chamber which got sanctioned at the very last moment. WWE has now allowed the match making it official for the PPV match card.
It was quite interesting to see Titus Worldwide getting an opportunity, out of nowhere when there are teams like The Club, and The Revival are waiting for future opportunities. However, an added match was announced featuring The Club who will now take on The Miztourage.
According to the confirmations made on the official website of the WWE, the team of Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows will take on against the team of Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. It came as an impromptu one since no whatsoever buildup was made on this match.

It is unfortunate not to witness The Revival on the match card of Elimination Chamber despite their dominant outings in recent times. They are in the midst of a rivalry with this heel duo on the Raw roster but has been withdrawn from the match card.

Additionally, WWE has also hinted that none other than Roman Reigns might be the one who is winning the Elimination Chamber match. The official Twitter handle of the company posted a video that stated if The Big Dog can hit one of the superstars with his pendant move of spear then he is walking out as the new number one contender for the Universal title. This can be considered as the legit hint of what is waiting for us in the men’s division matchup.
