WWE will host the Elimination Chamber PPV at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is going to be the last Raw-exclusive PPV before Wrestlemania. Considering that the dual-brand PPV tradition will be back following the biggest event of the year, it will also be the last-ever Raw-branded event.
WWE has hyped-up the event with two historic Elimination Chamber matches. The men’s division match-up will witness seven superstars competing inside the cage structure for the first-time ever in the company’s history. The winner will become the new number one contender for the Universal Championship at Wrestlemania.

On the other hand, the women’s division matchup is also a first-time affair in the history of the WWE which is an added attraction. This should help to make the event a sell-out. It should also be noted that all the matches will have Wrestlemania implications added to them which is why the tickets should be sold out, quickly.
But, the recent reports are contradictory than the initial thoughts. A report from SportsKeeda suggests that the ticket sales of this Raw-exclusive event were quite low. To sell out the arena, AXS.com has been offering a free ticket to everyone who is buying one ticket of Elimination Chamber. This is a certain indication that how much desperate WWE is to make the arena, a packed house.
Some of the fans might be interested to get attracted with this kind offer by the website, but this is not a good sign for the company, at all. Only time will tell whether the event will become a huge success or not. Meanwhile, there’s a reason why the fans might be least interested in the show.

The fans already know who will be walking out of the men’s Elimination Chamber who is none other than Roman Reigns. On the other hand, Alexa Bliss is also the most predicted winner of the Raw women’s championship in the Chamber matchup. So, these two main events have failed to drag more crowd into the show. Hopefully, Ronda Rousey’s contract signing and the newly added match between Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt will do the show some favor.
