We at Real Rasslin have come to learn.
A major update on WWE’s plans for Seth Rollins and his World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40.
Despite his involvement in the big angle with The Rock, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes at the WrestleMania Kickoff event, Seth Rollins will defend his title at WrestleMania.
That announcement was made during last night’s episode of SmackDown as Triple H, Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis opened the show.
They confirmed that there’ll be a men’s Elimination Chamber match at Elimination Chambers on February 24th, and the winner of that will challenge Seth Rollins at WrestleMania.
There’ll be a series of qualifiers across both Raw and SmackDown in the next couple of weeks to determine the participants, with two already decided last night.
In SmackDown’s opening match, Drew McIntyre qualified with a win over AJ Styles, and in the main event, Randy Orton beat Sami Zayn to qualify as well.
On this Monday’s episode of Raw, there’ll be two qualifying matches in the form of LA Knight vs Ivar, and Bronson Reed vs Bobby Lashley.
On SmackDown next Friday there will be two more qualifiers, Logan Paul vs The Miz, and Dominik Mysterio vs Kevin Owens.
In other Elimination Chamber news, Bianca Belair beat Michin last night to join Becky Lynch as the two participants confirmed so far for the women’s Elimination Chamber match which will determine Rhea Ripley’s WrestleMania challenger.
On next week’s SmackDown, Tiffany Stratton vs Shotzi, and Naomi vs Zelina Vega will also take place as qualifiers.
Also, the team of Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate beat DIY last night, meaning it’ll be Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate challenging Damian Priest and Finn Balor for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship at Elimination Chamber.
