Big title match could still be added to WWE Elimination Chamber (Exclusive)

WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 is just around the corner. The premium live event goes down on March 1 at Toronto's Rogers Centre (formerly known as the SkyDome) in Canada. Only two matches have been confirmed thus far but it seems a big title match could still be added to the show.

During a recent episode of Live Q&A on Backstage Pass, WrestleVotes addressed the possibility of a major title match involving a popular superstar, namely Shinsuke Nakamura, at WWE Elimination Chamber.

"I've heard rumblings of a Shinsuke Nakamura title defense. Don't know the opponent, but that's one that I've heard could take place at the SkyDome." [From 26:19 onwards]

For those unaware, Nakamura won the United States Championship by beating LA Knight at WWE Survivor Series 2024. He retained his title via DQ in a rematch on the January 10 episode of SmackDown.

Speaking of LA Knight, The Megastar failed to qualify for the Elimination Chamber last week on SmackDown after he lost to Drew McIntyre in a Triple Threat qualifier that also featured former multi-time tag team champion Jimmy Uso.

Elimination Chamber will be the last stop before WrestleMania 41 and several matches at The Show of Shows will be influenced by what happens in Toronto.

Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.

Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.

He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.

While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.

When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
