Gauntlet match set for Monday’s WWE Raw
Ahead of the Elimination Chamber, there will be a gauntlet match on Monday’s go-home edition of Raw.
All seven of the participants in the men’s Elimination Chamber match will be taking part in the gauntlet. Those wrestlers are: Braun Strowman, Elias, John Cena, Roman Reigns, The Miz, Seth Rollins, and Finn Balor.
WWE hasn’t announced the entry order for the gauntlet, but the match type starts with two people facing off, then another person takes the place of whoever loses until there’s only one wrestler left standing.
Rollins and Balor became the last additions to the Elimination Chamber lineup after they both pinned Bray Wyatt at the same time during a fatal five-way match last Monday. The winner of the men’s Chamber will go on to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania.
The Miz will be the first person to enter the Elimination Chamber during the match, with Elias set to enter last.
Monday’s Raw will also set up the rest of the card for the pay-per-view. All that’s been announced so far are the men’s and women’s Elimination Chambers, Asuka vs. Nia Jax, and an appearance by Ronda Rousey where she’ll be “signing her Monday Night Raw contract.”
