Keith Lee Reportedly Pulled From WWE Elimination Chamber PPV
WWE is still advertising Keith Lee for his triple threat match against WWE US Champion Bobby Lashley and Riddle at tonight's Elimination Chamber. On Monday's RAW, commentary said Lee was dealing with injuries and his status for the PPV was up in the air.
According to PWInsider, Lee has been pulled from the show. The belief is there is an injury, but what the exact injury is hasn't been confirmed.
WWE has advertised every match on Twitter except for WWE RAW Women's Champion Asuka vs. Lacey Evans. During RAW, Evans revealed she was pregnant, implying that Ric Flair was the father for storyline purposes. As Wrestling Inc. exclusively reported, Evans is actually pregnant with her second child, which would obviously nix her wrestling against Asuka.
PWInsider is also reporting the match between the two has been pulled, no word yet if a replacement will be announced. As of now, the five remaining matches will fill the PPV. A multi-man tag match could happen on the Kickoff, although WWE has yet to announce anything.
The Elimination Chamber Kickoff begins at 6 pm ET with the main card starting at 7 pm ET. Below is the current PPV card:
