WWE has casually been referring to this weekend’s WWE Championship match as an “all-new” Elimination Chamber structure on Smackdown Live. Bryan Alvarez confirmed on Wednesday’s Wrestling Observer Live that there have been some changes made to the structure.
According to wrestlingnews.co the Elimination Chamber concept had been dropped because of the logistics of having to set up the Chamber in arenas. Many arenas have a large scoreboard hanging above the ringside area and it was tough to set up a structure that large because it has to hang over the ring during the undercard matches. The Chamber structure (once it’s set up) is said to weigh about 10 tons.
