WWE United States Champion Austin Theory will defend his title against Seth Rollins, Johnny Gargano, Montez Ford, Damian Priest, and Bronson Reed inside the Elimination Chamber at the PLE next Saturday from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, at the Bell Centre.
This will mark the first time in history that the US Title will be defended inside the Chamber.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer noted something interesting: WWE has taped a television show that airs in March, and Theory is featured while holding the title. This doesn’t guarantee that Theory is retaining the title at the upcoming PLE, but it’s a possible indication.
Meltzer wrote, “Theory taped a television show that airs in March holding the U.S. title belt. That doesn’t mean 100 percent that he’s retaining it here, but it is something.”
Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn is expected to close out the show.
