Original Plans For Edge Reportedly Cancelled At Royal Rumble
During the recent Royal Rumble event, WWE Hall of Famer Edge made a surprise appearance and played a significant role in the match. While he eliminated both Finn Balor and Damian Priest, he was also thrown out of the ring by Balor, who had already been eliminated. However, reports suggest that this was not the original plan for Edge's involvement in the match.
At the event, Edge made his comeback to the ring and disrupted Judgment Day's dominance, ultimately eliminating Balor and Priest. Dominik was left in the ring, but he could not eliminate Edge before Balor and Priest dragged him out of the ring. Later on, Rhea Ripley attacked Edge in the entrance area, but his wife Beth Phoenix came out to support him.
According to a report from Fightful Select, the original plan for the Elimination Chamber was always for Edge and Beth Phoenix to face Judgment Day. However, the plan for Edge's role at the Royal Rumble reportedly changed. Initially, Edge was supposed to have a singles match against Finn Balor, but that plan was modified, and it was not a one-on-one encounter.
Potential Details About Who Will Leave As US Champion At Elimination Chamber
WWE United States Champion Austin Theory set to defend his title against Seth "Freakin" Rollins, Johnny Gargano, Bronson Reed, Damian Priest and Montez Ford inside Elimination Chamber at the upcoming Elimination Chamber premium live event on Saturday, February 18, 2023, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Austin Theory will be facing the toughest test of his career at Elimination Chamber. However, according to a report by Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer, he could be coming out on top. As part of a recent episode of the show, Meltzer noted that WWE had filmed a show with Theory to air next month and he was seen holding the title in the show.
“Theory taped a television show that airs in March holding the U.S. title belt.That doesn’t mean 100 percent that he’s retaining it here, but it is something.” (H/t: WrestleTalk)
Of course, WWE can edit whatever footage has been made, but it's unlikely that this is the case. It could be Theory who walks into WrestleMania with the Championship since he's someone that Vince McMahon thinks highly of.
