Adam Pearce made it official on Monday Night Raw this past Monday. We have our first official match for WWE Elimination Chamber 2024.
Jey Uso wants to challenge Gunther for the Intercontinental championship
This Monday on Raw, Gunther celebrated the longevity of his reign, as he surpassed 600 days as Intercontinental champion. He was confronted by Jey Uso, who never won a singles championship in WWE, and who wants to prove to himself that he is able to write his own story as a singles wrestler. Gunther mocked him, saying that he was going to beat him so bad that Jey Uso was going to “wish for the good old days when people couldn’t tell [him] and [his] brother [Jimmy] apart”. A fight then broke out, and the message is sent: Jey Uso is coming after the Ring General and the prestigious Intercontinental championship.

Sami Zayn wants to prove he is a World championship caliber Superstar
Sami Zayn returned at the Royal Rumble after some time off WWE television. In a recorded interview this Monday on Raw, he said that he had something to prove to the fans: he is no longer an underdog but has World championship gold in his mind. He already had a chance last year at Elimination Chamber against Roman Reigns, in front of his friends and family in Montreal, but he couldn’t succeed in the mission of dethroning the Tribal Chief. Now the question being: how can Sami Zayn find his way towards World championship gold in WWE?
We still have no answer from Cody Rhodes
Last night on Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins asked Cody Rhodes to give him an answer concerning his choice for WrestleMania. The American Nightmare didn’t get the time to speak because of the interruption of Drew McIntyre. Now the focus will be on this Thursday’s WrestleMania Kickoff press event, where Roman Reigns, The Rock, Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins will be present to speak about WrestleMania plans. Will Cody Rhodes decide to “finish his story”? Will he let the spotlight to The Rock? Will he choose to face Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight championship? Anything seems possible at this point.
