The WWE Championship will be on the line inside the Elimination Chamber this weekend when Bobby Lashley defends against Seth Rollins, Austin Theory, AJ Styles, Brock Lesnar and Riddle.

The odds are stacked against Lashley as he hopes to survive Satan's structure and go on to defend the Championship at WrestleMania. That being said, Roman Reigns will have a much easier time of it as he goes one-on-one with Goldberg.

The Universal Championship has never been defended inside The Elimination Chamber, a streak that continues this year. Instead, several other titles including Tag Team and Women's, have been on the line in the structure instead.

It is worth noting that the Universal Championship was only unveiled in WWE around six years ago and the title doesn't have the long extensive history of the WWE Championship.

It's unclear why Bobby Lashley has been given a much harder title defense in the Middle East this weekend, but it appears as though WWE is reluctant to allow the Universal Championship inside the Chamber.
