In case you didn’t know…

On this past week’s episode of Raw, General Manager Kurt Angle confirmed the groundbreaking news that this year’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view will feature the first ever seven-man Elimination Chamber match, as seven of Monday Night Raw’s top superstars will battle it out in order to determine the new #1 Contender for Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship.

Will Braun Strowman stand tall at Elimination Chamber or will John Cena make history by winning his 17th World Title?

The heart of the matter

As noted on this past week’s episode of WWE Raw, former World Champions Finn Balor and Seth Rollins are the latest addition to this year’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view and will be joining the likes of Roman Reigns, John Cena, The Miz, Braun Strowman, and Elias, inside the grueling Elimination Chamber structure come February 25th. However, as per confirmed by the WWE, the same seven competitors are now set to square off in a huge Gauntlet Match come this Monday Night on Raw.

With only six days to go until the historic Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, fans will now get a sneak peak of the massacre that they are about to witness inside the Chamber within the space of the next seven days.

...Or will The Big Dog outlast all six men and eventually slay The Beast?

What’s next?

As mentioned in the previous section, this year’s Men’s Elimination Chamber will be the most historic Chamber match in the pay-per-view’s eight-year-old history. The event is scheduled to take place on the 25th of February at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Additionally, this year, we will also witness the first ever Women’s Elimination Chamber match as Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss puts her championship belt on the line against Sonya Deville, Mandy Rose, Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Mickie James.

Author’s Take

Gauntlet Matches are usually one of the most interesting stipulations in WWE and on this week’s Monday Night Raw, the WWE Universe will witness utter chaos among the seven competitors who will battle it out among themselves in order to get a shot at the WWE Universal Title at Wrestlemania 34.
