Although it still appears WWE will be going forward with the long-planned match between The Rock and Roman Reigns, it won’t be happening at the WWE Elimination Chamber PLE from Optus Stadium in Perth, Western Australia, on Saturday, February 24, 2024.
What could be
For months, the belief was that the top matches at WWE WrestleMania 40 could be Cody Rhodes vs. Reigns and CM Punk vs. World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.
However, The Rock’s return with the teased match against Reigns has thrown a wrench in those plans as many expect WWE to go after the bigger match, which is Reigns vs. Rock.
Although WrestleMania is the obvious place to do the bout, there was speculation it could happen at the Elimination Chamber since there were rumors that the government there specifically requested The Rock on the show.
No plans
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that there are no plans for the match to happen at the show as Reigns was never scheduled for the show nor advertised, and there are no plans for him for that date right now.
Reigns will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Title against Randy Orton, LA Knight, and AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble.
