Backstage News, Possible Spoilers For WWE Elimination Chamber

Elimination Chamber news and notes via F4WOnline.com:

— WWE holds Elimination Chamber, its final pre-WrestleMania pay-per-view, this Sunday night in St. Louis. The gimmick has drawn relatively well for WWE in the past, although this year will be a true test of its lure–in addition to airing on the same weekend as a UFC event, the show also had no marquee-level non-Chamber match confirmed prior to going live. If it draws, it will entirely be due to the Chamber matches.

— Both Shawn Michaels vs. Batista and Edge vs. Batista had, at various points, been planned for tonight’s program, but as of press time, neither had been confirmed by WWE. At this point, many are wondering if WWE will go through with either match considering it would have made sense to advertise such high-profile bouts to potential PPV buyers. Another match will, nonetheless, definitely be added.

— The word going around is that the John Morrison injury angle is not irrelevant and will play a key part in shaping tonight’s World Heavyweight Championship match.

— With Edge vs. Chris Jericho still appearing likely for WM26, all indications are that Jericho will win the title imminently. As Jericho’s victory appears to be a given, however, he may very well not win the strap on tonight’s show.

— With neither John Cena, Kofi Kingston, Ted DiBiase nor Randy Orton expected to be involved in the title picture at ‘Mania, the RAW Chamber match will presumably be based around Triple H and Sheamus, the two expected WWE Championship participants at WrestleMania.
