As seen on this week’s Raw, Kofi Kingston has been added to the Elimination Chamber 2021 match card. He will now compete at this Sunday’s WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view in the WWE Championship match. During the opening segment of Raw, The Miz announced that he was removing himself from the match so he could focus on cashing in his Money In the Bank title shot for either the WWE Title or the WWE Universal Title.
The Miz wanted to insert John Morrison to replace him in the Elimination Chamber 2021 match from Raw, but Kofi then approached WWE Producer Adam Pearce to let himself compete for the spot. Pearce then made a match against Kofi with a stipulation that if Kofi wins then he gets to compete in the title match replacing The Miz. Kofi then defeated Miz in that singles match to earn the final spot.

There’s more from the Raw Elimination Chamber 2021 match for the WWE Title where Sheamus will be entering the match as the last entrant on Sunday. The Celtic Warrior won the Gauntlet Match on the main event slot of RAW to earn the final spot in the title match, per the stipulation. He eventually pinned WWE Champion Drew McIntyre via a Brogue Kick to win the Gauntlet who bragged about the win to end the show.
Lacey Evans vs. RAW Women’s Champion Asuka is still advertised for Elimination Chamber 2021 even after Evans announced her pregnancy during this week’s RAW. Sources confirmed that she is legitimately expecting her second child. Till now, WWE has not announced who will be replacing Evans but she can’t obviously compete with a baby inside her.
The Triple Threat for the WWE United States Title is also under speculation. Bobby Lashley is scheduled to defend against Keith Lee and Riddle on Sunday. But the announcers said during RAW that Lee is dealing with injuries during last Monday’s match with Riddle and the post-match angle. It was noted that his status for the US Title Match is up in the air.
