WWE United States Champion Austin Theory will defend his title next Saturday from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, at the Bell Centre against Seth Rollins, Johnny Gargano, Montez Ford, Damian Priest, and Bronson Reed inside the Elimination Chamber at the PLE.
This will be the first time in history that the US Title will be defended inside the Chamber.
Dave Meltzer noted something interesting in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
WWE has taped a television show that will air in March, and Theory is featured while holding the title. This isn’t a guarantee that Theory will retain the title at the upcoming PLE, but it’s a hint.
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.”
The show’s main event is expected to feature Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
