Elimination Chamber 2015 will emanate from Corpus Christi, TX as a WWE Network exclusive and the company revealed that the vacant Intercontinental Championship and the Tag Team Championships will be decided in the demonic structure.
United States Champion John Cena and whoever the WWE World Heavyweight Champion is at the time will also be in action.
Projected WWE Elimination Chamber Card
According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, it is expected that six teams will partake in the Tag Team Championship bout rather than just three. The plans aren't finalized for the event just yet, but it's likely that partners will pair up inside the pods and be released simultaneously.
Four teams that seem to be a lock for the chamber are reigning champions A New Day, Tyson Kidd & Cesaro, The Prime Time Players and Luke Harper & Erick Rowan.
From there, The Lucha Dragons, Los Matadores, Curtis Axel & Macho Mandow and The Ascension are all possibilities for the contest. The match is expected to be booked tornado style with all Superstars in the ring at the same time once they are released.
It's likely that either the Lucha Dragons or Los Matadores are added while either Mandow & Axel or The Ascension will get the nod.
As for the Intercontinental Championship, four Superstars that are highly likely for that bout include Sheamus, Neville, Dolph Ziggler and King Barrett while the two other combatants are yet to be determined.
Daniel Bryan had to forfeit the Intercontinental Championship this week on RAW due to an injury and there is currently no timetable for his return to the ring.
Bryan won the gold at WrestleMania 31 on March 29 at Levi's Stadium in the Bay Area in a seven-man Ladder Match and his win coupled with Cena's United States Championship victory were part of a movement by the WWE to establish the midcard titles as something important again.
It remains to be seen what the WWE will choose to do to round out the Elimination Chamber card, but there is a lot of speculation as to who will participate.
