WWE News: Fourth Qualifier Crowned on Raw for Elimination Chamber
Feb 6, 2018 at 1:41 PM
From last week onwards the qualifying matches for the Elimination Chamber have begun.
This will finalise the main event of the February 25th night where the ominous structure surrounded by steel chain will be back in the WWE. It is going to the final stop for the WWE Raw superstars before the Wrestlemania 34 PPV.
Six superstars do compete inside this demonic cage with four pods inside it. The first three contestants for this year’s edition have been declared with three huge matches on last week. Elias, John Cena, and Braun Strowman defeated Matt Hardy, Finn Balor, and Kane, respectively to come up victorious and secure their spots in the upcoming match.

With that being said, the fourth match in this series was announced for last night’s WWE Raw. Roman Reigns received a chance to enter the Elimination Chamber for the very first time in his career by going against Bray Wyatt. It was a renewal of a bitter rivalry with the winner getting a coveted spot inside the steel cage structure.
The Big Dog headed into this match with the favourite tag since he is the supposed one to challenge Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 34 for the Universal Championship. Before the start of the match, he cut a long promo on how he is going to enter the Suplex City at the grandest stage of them all after conquering the Chamber.

Wyatt was no less while talking trash about the potential win, who also was in control of the match for the early part. Reigns went for the drive-by which was countered by his opponent who shoved him face-first into the steel step which earned huge cheers from the fans. Since then, Wyatt dominated the match, as Woken Matt Hardy watched from the back.

At one point, the eater of the world even hit the finishing move, Sister Abigail but Reigns kicked out of that letting the crowd chant, ‘this is awesome’ applauding the ongoing contest inside the ring.
In the end, Wyatt’s second attempt for the same move was countered into a spear by the franchise player. By hitting this pendant move, Reigns headed on to Elimination Chamber as the fourth participant of this year’s edition. It is also going to be his first appearance in this structure.
