United States Title Triple Threat Added To WWE Elimination Chamber
Three matches now set for the PPV
A triple threat match for the WWE United States title has been added to the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, making it the third title match added to the event in just one night.
For the match, champion Bobby Lashley will defend his title against Keith Lee and Matt Riddle.
Lee and Riddle had friendly words earlier in the evening, concerning who would have the better chance of beating Lashley for the championship. The two then met in a one on one match, which Lee won.
Lashley attacked both men afterward. WWE then announced the match between the three for the pay-per-view.
Each man holds a victory over Lashley, albeit via disqualification. Lee defeated Lashley by DQ in November, whereas Riddle beat him by DQ in a title match a week ago.
The updated card for WWE Elimination Chamber, taking place Sunday night, February 21 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, FL, is as follows:
* WWE World/Elimination Chamber: Drew McIntyre (c) vs. AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton vs. The Miz vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Sheamus
* Raw Women's: Asuka (c) vs. Lacey Evans
* WWE United States: Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Keith Lee vs. Matt Riddle
