Logan Paul replaces Jey Uso in men’s WWE Elimination Chamber match
One more Elimination Chamber qualifying match took place on SmackDown.
Logan Paul qualified for the chamber in the main event, replacing Jey Uso who was attacked shortly before SmackDown went on the air. Paul defeated Jacob Fatu after Drew McIntyre interfered yet again, this time striking Fatu with the WWE title as he climbed the turnbuckle. Paul followed with a rollup to win the match.
Prior to the finish, the masked man that had been attacking members of The Vision returned yet again, looking to take out Austin Theory with the stomp. However, Paul exited the ring and took him out, unmasking him to reveal an unidentified man who was taken away by officials.
On social media, Uso was shown laid out just minutes prior to the start of SmackDown, with the show starting with Uso being placed into an ambulance. Later in the show, both Paul and Fatu pleaded their cases to Nick Aldis to be put in the match. Aldis then told Paul that he would face Fatu in the main event with the winner getting Uso’s spot in the chamber.
Uso won his qualifying match on Raw, defeating Bronson Reed and the Original El Grande Americano. Reed was supposed to win that match, but tore his bicep during a pinfall breakup and was unable to continue. As a result, it turned into a singles match where Uso won after a frog splash.
