Just four days after it was revealed that Drew McIntyre will defend the WWE Championship inside the Elimination Chamber at the PPV of the same name, SmackDown opened with a tease that Roman Reigns would have to do the same thing with the Universal Championship. However, after a segment between Reigns, Paul Heyman, and Adam Pearce, the idea was changed to a Chamber match determining a number one contender who would then immediately face Reigns at the PPV in a championship match, on the same night. Heyman told Pearce that Reigns’ contract says that he will defend his title at the PPV but that it doesn’t say he will defend it inside the Chamber.
Corbin started working with Dominik on January 22nd and has wrestled him in some fashion in every week since. Three singles matches in a row and then tonight’s tag.
