Drew McIntyre to Defend The WWE Title Inside Elimination Chamber

WWE Champion Drew McIntyre is set to defend the WWE Title inside the Elimination Chamber at the upcoming WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.

McIntyre’s opponents will all be former WWE Champions. Shane McMahon returned to tonight’s RAW for a brief opening segment where he and Adam Pearce announced the Chamber match. Drew’s opponents will be Randy Orton, Sheamus, AJ Styles, The Miz, and Jeff Hardy.

The WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view is scheduled to take place on February 21 from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, FL. Stay tuned for updates.

WWE wrote the following:

At WWE Elimination Chamber, Drew McIntyre will attempt to retain the WWE Title inside the career-altering Elimination Chamber against Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles, The Miz and Sheamus!

McIntyre has already proven himself a fighting champion, but the odds are truly stacked against him inside the dreaded structure. Every challenger will be a former WWE Champion. Sheamus, his longtime friend turned bitter foe, knows him better than almost anyone. Orton is a 14-time World Champion that has already proven he can defeat the current titleholder and take the gold away from him. The Miz is as dangerous on any given night as he is outspoken. Hardy has time and time again taken it to the extreme to put a title around his waist. Styles is one of the best in the business and is currently at the top of his game.

The Elimination Chamber Match will begin with two Superstars in the ring and four other competitors enclosed in their respective pods. Every five minutes, a pod door will open, allowing another competitor to join the contest. This process will continue until all pods are empty. When a Superstar is pinned or submits, that Superstar is eliminated and must exit the Chamber. The last Superstar remaining will be the WWE Champion.
