 ONLY ONE CHAMBER MATCH AT THIS YEAR'S ELIMINATION CHAMBER PPV
- The current plan for the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view is to only
have one Chamber match instead of the usual two. Usually, one title is
defended on the show in a Chamber match while the other match is to
determine to number one contender for the other title for WrestleMania.
The Rock and CM Punk already have a one on one match at the pay-per-view
and it looks like the only Chamber match this year will be to determine
the number one contender for the World Heavyweight title currently being
held by Alberto Del Rio. John Cena - the winner of the Royal Rumble - has
already selected to wrestle for the WWE title at WrestleMania whoever the
champion might be at the time.
 INTERCONTINENTAL CUP TOURNAMENT SCRAPPED
- The Intercontinental Cup - a tournament involving eight Superstars to
determine the number one contender for the IC title - has been scrapped.
It was supposed to start on tonight's Main Event on ION which was taped
yesterday before the Smackdown show however there was no mention of it
all. "I am pleased to announce that I have managed to negotiate a complete
cancellation of the #IntercontinentalCup tournament," tweeted Wade Barrett
earlier today. "I think you'll all agree that this is fantastic news. Warm
regards, Your Intercontinental Champion." Meanwhile, Ryback will be the
special guest on Miz TV on the show and the two matches taped are Tensai
vs Titus O'Niel and Ryback vs Antonio Cesaro.
