An Elimination Chamber match to determine Seth Rollins’ WrestleMania opponent
The episode of WWE SmackDown kicks-off with Paul “Triple H” Levesque coming in the ring with Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis.

And if some people don’t like it, well… “It doesn’t matter” he says.
Nick Aldis then announces that there will be an Men’s Elimination Chamber match at Elimination Chamber to determine who will challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight championship at WrestleMania. There will be six qualifying matches to win a place in the match, with twelve Superstars involved: AJ Styles, Bobby Lashley, Bronson Reed, Dominik Mysterio, Drew McIntyre, Ivar, Kevin Owens, LA Knight, Logan Paul, Randy Orton, Sami Zayn and The Miz. The qualifying matches will start tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.
