Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter shared his thoughts on the upcoming Elimination Chamber match and its WrestleMania 41 implications during Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Smack Talk with Sid Pullar III.
Six competitors – CM Punk, Damian Priest, Drew McIntyre, John Cena, Logan Paul, and Seth Rollins – battle on March 1 for an opportunity to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41.
CM Punk’s gotta win because the fans want to see CM Punk and Cody Rhodes. We never got that in AEW, and the chants with CM Punk and that face-to-face weeks ago with CM Punk and Cody kind of cemented that match to me, but I don’t think that’s gonna be the match. If [John Cena] was able to put himself into the Elimination Chamber without a qualifying match, CM Punk wins the Elimination Chamber, and what stops John Cena from saying, ‘Now it’s a three-way. I’m putting myself in there,’ and WWE does nothing about it.
The WrestleMania 41 premium live event takes place on April 19-20.
