WWE is almost at their final roadblock on the Road to WrestleMania. This roadblock is none other than the big PLE, Elimination Chamber: Perth. Multiple superstars have punched their tickets to Australia, while many missed it. WWE is returning to The Land Down Under for the first time since 2018 to host a PLE. Recently, WWE Superstar Shotzi took to X to express her grief to the WWE Universe for not making it to the big event.
The 31-year-old expressed her sadness on X for not being able to perform in the qualifying match due to an injury. She portrayed her sadness and wished good luck to the wrestlers participating in the Elimination Chamber match. Also, Shotzi said that she would disclose more about her feelings and injury later on. It seems the superstar needs time to absorb the missed opportunity before talking more about it.
I don’t have much to say right now other than I am devastated. It’s heartbreaking to be missing my Elimination Chamber opportunity tonight.Shotzi wrote on X
The former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion got injured on NXT taping. While facing Lyra Valkyria, she suffered a knee injury that forced her to step back against Naomi for a qualifying match. As a result, Naomi had to battle Alba Fyre. The recently returned superstar defeated Fyre and secured her spot in the chamber match.
Not only did the 31-year-old superstar lose her chance to qualify, but she cannot be a part of Last Chance Battle Royal either. The superstars who lost their respective matches will participate in a Battle Royal with the winner securing the final spot. With the injury Shotzi has sustained, it seems that her dreams of performing in Perth, Australia, are dashed.
Men’s Elimination Chamber Match gets finalized with all the participants securing their spots.
Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre were the first two to qualify for the chamber match. Later, Bobby Lashley, and LA Knight secured their spots. This week on SmackDown, Kevin Owens defeated Dominik Mysterio to make it to the event. Owens’ arch-rival, the United States Champion, Logan Paul, defeated The Miz to be the last one to qualify.
With all the participants announced, the match sure looks stacked. McIntyre was involved in a heated argument with Knight on SmackDown, and he also shares history with Orton and Lashley. Owens and Paul are involved in a feud. With all the superstars having some or other reasons to take each other down, the match promises to be classic McIntyre will take on Knight in this week’s taping for next week’s SmackDown.
A huge star-studded chamber match is scheduled to take place, along with other prominent matches that are about to take place. Although Seth “Freakin” Rollins is injured, he will join Cody Rhodes when they appear on the Grayson Waller‘s Waller Effect. It will be interesting to see how events unfold at the big PLE coming in less than two weeks.
