WWE RAW's Elimination Chamber match this year was only open to former WWE Champions. This meant that Braun Strowman wasn't allowed to be part of the match, despite being a former Universal Champion in his own right.

Shane McMahon made it clear in an in-ring segment which seemingly led to the current storyline between the two men. But why was John Morrison in a position where he could qualify if all competing superstars had to be former WWE Champions?

When The Miz pulled out of the match and left the door open for a new star to step in, the former WWE Champion pitched Morrison as his replacement. Adam Pearce then set up a match between Kofi Kingston and The Miz, and if the latter won, Morrison would take part in RAW's Elimination Chamber match.

Of course, Kingston won the qualifying bout and was then added to RAW's Chamber match. But if the match went the other way around, John Morrison would have automatically been added to the multi-man contest even though he wasn't a former WWE Champion.

Instead, the only claim Morrison had, to be included in RAW's Elimination Chamber match, was that he once won the ECW Championship back in 2007.
