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.

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.
