2022 WWE Elimination Chamber predictions, card, matches, start time, PPV preview, location, date

The Elimination Chamber comes to the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia on Saturday for the final major event before WrestleMania 38. It’s a stacked card featuring many of the biggest names on the WWE roster and even a few members of the WWE Hall of Fame.

Two Elimination Chamber matches are set for the card. On the men’s side, Bobby Lashley will defend his WWE championship against Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins, Austin Theory, Riddle and AJ Styles. Six women will share the Chamber earlier in the card when Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Nikki A.S.H., Doudrop and Alexa Bliss battle for a shot at the Raw women’s championship.

Roman Reigns will also be in action on the card, defending his universal championship against Goldberg. Just as Reigns will defend his title against a Hall of Famer, Becky Lynch will put her Raw women’s title on the line against Lita.
