The Royal Rumble goes down this weekend, but Triple H is already looking ahead to Elimination Chamber. WWE’s second big event of the year, and the next stop on the road to WrestleMania after Royal Rumble, The Game has already confirmed what the Superstars who outlast everyone else inside next month’s Chamber matches will be rewarded with for winning.
This Year’s Elimination Chamber Winners Will Get WrestleMania Title Shots
Triple H made an appearance on ESPN’s Get Up, during which he heavily focused on the Royal Rumble since it’s only a few days away. However, when referring to this time of year as WWE’s “playoffs”, the chief content officer revealed that those who win this year’s Elimination Chamber matches will win the same thing as the winners of the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches.
Why WWE’s Elimination Chamber PLE Needs To Be Retired
For years, the Elimination Chamber has been used to determine who will challenge world champions at WrestleMania.
The Game confirmed that the winners of the Chamber matches will go on to compete for World Titles at WrestleMania. You might wonder why those stars will get the same opportunity as the Rumble winners, as trying not to get thrown out of a match with 30 people is unquestionably harder to do than not getting pinned or submitted in a match that only has six.
That’s where Triple H got clever with it and highlighted why a Superstar would rather win a Rumble than a Chamber match, even though the prize at the end of the rainbow is the same. He noted that this weekend’s Rumble winners will be able to choose which champion they face at WrestleMania. Next month’s Chamber winners, on the other hand, will have to settle for whoever’s left.
Why Winning The Rumble Is Better Than Winning The Elimination Chamber
That’s the benefit, and it’s a big one. Win the Rumble, and you face the champion of your choosing. Not only does that mean picking the title you want more, but it also means potentially setting up a bigger match by choosing the champion who’s a bigger draw, or a heel winner opting for the “weaker” champion whom they think they stand a better chance against.
The Chamber winners have to settle for the scraps, for want of a better word. The Rumble winners have picked their champions, and even though you will get your WrestleMania title match, you don’t have much say in who you’re going to face. There’s the chance you have two champions to choose from, as there have been times when Superstars have decided to compete for an NXT Title at WrestleMania, but whether that’s an option seems to depend on how WWE higher-ups feel in the moment.
