On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that it’s the way to get heat on Reigns. Actual plan was Roman to be in Chamber match but the company didn’t want to do it on both the brands.
“It’s a way to get heat on Reigns. Originally, Reigns was going to be in the chamber match. That was the original idea and then I guess they didn’t want to do it on both shows or something. Whatever…they wanted to tweak it, so they tweaked it.”
At the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, on Raw side, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre will defend his title inside Elimination Chamber against AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Sheamus, Jeff Hardy and Kofi Kingston this Sunday.
