2022 WWE Elimination Chamber card, matches, date, rumors, predictions, match card, start time, location

The WWE returns to Saudi Arabia on Feb. 19 with the Elimination Chamber premium live event. It will be the seventh event in the controversial partnership established in 2018 between WWE and the Saudi government.

Unlike previous events in Saudi Arabia, this is the first time WWE has brought one of their standard annual events to the country. The event is built around six-man matches that take place in the gigantic Elimination Chamber structure, in which two men start with four men locked in pods inside the cage but outside the ring. At regular intervals, one pod is randomly opened and that participant joins the match until one man remains, with submission and pinfall as the only two ways to eliminate a participant.

Many more matches will be added in the coming weeks and even the planned direction of potential matches should become clear.

As with all major WWE events, Elimination Chamber will stream live on Peacock. The main card will begin at 12 p.m. ET following a kickoff show one hour prior.

Let’s take a look at what we know — and what we expect — at WWE Elimination Chamber.
