Rules and new title match for Elimination Chamber announced by WWE

Bengaluru, Feb 22: On this week’s WWE Raw, we have learned about one added singles contest at the Elimination Chamber PPV. Woken Matt Hardy vs. Bray Wyatt was confirmed to take place.

The match card got stacked even more with the announcement of another championship match to the match card to make it even more stacked one.

The status of the WWE Raw tag team championships was up for grabs for quite a few weeks now considering that the original contenders are no more available.

Jason Jordan was injured to get out of the context until the Wrestlemania season and hence, a new team was needed for the spot. The Revival was rumoured for this spot.

However, the creative team brought Titus Worldwide into the mix, all of a sudden on this week’s WWE Raw. To set up the seeds of a future title shot, the team comprised of Titus and Apollo defeated The Bar with a single roll-up that was the biggest shocker of the night. This handed away the team a title opportunity.

So, they demanded the same opportunity in a fallout video once the show went-off the air. A challenge was made to Sheamus and Cesaro over their title and the match got sanctioned for this Sunday, according to the reports of wrestlingINC.com. It is not clear whether the match will feature on the main card or be shifted to the pre-show.
