WWE conducted an international version of the Elimination Chamber event in Perth, Australia that has essentially spoiled plans in store for WrestleMania 40. Two Chamber matches set up world title matches while two more big matches for the Show of Shows were teased.

After the dust settled in Optus Stadium, it seems that things will move in a bigger way for the United States Title with the champion Logan Paul starting a beef with Randy Orton. The Maverick cost The Viper the Chamber match by using a set of brass knuckles.

LA Knight, another fan favorite in the Men's Chamber Match got eliminated due to unprecedented interference from SmackDown roster member AJ Styles. These two altercations will now set up singles matches at WrestleMania XL.

According to Dave Meltzer's report in Sunday's Daily Update, both Logan Paul vs. Randy Orton and AJ Styles vs. LA Knight are confirmed to be on the card of WrestleMania 40 as WWE officials have now solidified their interests in these two lineups.

"Coming off the Chamber show, those at WWE have confirmed both bouts, AJ Styles vs. LA Knight and Logan Paul vs. Randy Orton, that yesterday's show appeared to set up. Both are right now listed for Mania."

Drew McIntyre won the 2024 Men's Elimination Chamber match during this year's Elimination Chamber PLE and that means he has punched his ticket to WrestleMania 40 to face Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship in one of the potential main events.

Also, Rhea Ripley successfully defended her Women's World Title against Nia Jax at Elimination Chamber before which Becky Lynch won the Women's Elimination Chamber match in her first-ever appearance inside the structure.

Now, The Man vs. The Nightmare will also serve as a marquee match on the Show of Shows for the WWE Women's World Title. The Judgment Day are still Undisputed Tag Team Champions and they are expected to be on the card, as well.

WrestleMania 40 will take place at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday and Sunday, April 6 and 7. As of this writing, the rumoured match card for the PLE is given below:
