The promotion has come up with a strong enough match card for their final PPV stop before WrestleMania. That being said, festivities will began at the Bell Centre this Friday, carrying onto the next night in the same arena.

Fans have shown some unreal interest for the wrestling weekend in Canada. As a result, both of the aforementioned shows are heading towards a complete sellout.

Going through the Elimination Chamber matches first, Austin Theory will defend his United States Championship inside that sadistic structure. He’ll look to go up against Seth Rollins, Johnny Gargano, Bronson Reed, Montez Ford and Damian Priest. In second Chamber match for the night, six women will battle it out for an opportunity to challenge Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 39. Participants include Asuka, Nikki Cross, Carmella, Raquel Rodriguez, Liv Morgan and Natalya.

Edge and Beth Phoenix will team up to take on the villainous duo of Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley. Plus, Brock Lesnar looks to humble Bobby Lashley in a grudge match. And now, the main-event will feature an epic showdown between Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

With such matches on the card, the event is destined for a grand success. It would be interesting to see whether the hometown hero Sami Zayn brings back his old avatar and theme song. Montreal will pop huge if they hear Worlds Apart once again. Plus, do not be shocked if y’all see some posters in the crowd which reads, “If Roman wins tonight, we riot.”
