Last year's Elimination Chamber match was held for the WWE Championship, held at the time by Bobby Lashley. Brock Lesnar dominated the match and walked away with the title, though he went on to lose the belt to Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania.
This year, the United States Championship is on the line in the Elimination Chamber. The current United States Champion Austin Theory will consequently compete in the Chamber and defend his title. He will be facing five other superstars, three of which were decided on tonight's episode of Monday Night Raw.
Tonight's episode featured a series of qualifying matches to determine who will vie for the United States Championship in Montreal. Seth Rollins defeated Chad Gable, Johnny Gargano defeated Baron Corbin, and Bronson Reed defeated Dolph Ziggler.
It's hard not to see Seth Rollins as the heavy favorite at the moment. He is a former United States Champion and has a major bone to pick with Austin Theory, who recently defeated him for the title.
