WWE bringing Elimination Chamber to England
WWE’s recent run of international PLEs will apparently continue as a new report out Thursday has next year’s Elimination Chamber event heading to England.
First reported by WrestleVotes and also confirmed by Bryan Alvarez, the show will take place this March with Birmingham and Manchester as the front-runners for the show. The venues were not reported, but are likely either the Utilita Arena Birmingham or the AO Arena, respectively.
It will be the final PLE before WrestleMania at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Once finalized, it will be the fourth-straight Elimination Chamber event to take place on international soil and also the fourth overall in the 15 Chamber events.
The first took place in February 2022 in Saudi Arabia, followed by Montreal, Canada, in February 2023, and Perth, Australia, in February 2024. It’s unknown if holding an event in March would mean the creation of a new PLE for February.
WWE/TKO leadership has been increasingly vocal about site fees, but it’s unknown at this time how much of a factor that is in deciding between the two cities.
