Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins will be at Elimination Chamber, but (probably) not to wrestle

See what Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins will be doing at WWE Elimination Chamber in Perth.

With Elimination Chamber headed to Perth next weekend, one of the biggest talking points among some WWE fans has been the lack of some of the company’s biggest names on the show. Unless something changes, Australia won’t be getting Roman Reigns or The Rock, and except for Australia’s own Rhea Ripley, there aren’t any world title singles matches on the card at the moment.

That outlook got a little better today, when both Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins were announced for the event — just not necessarily in the way you might be hoping. Both the American Nightmare and the Visionary will be part of a special edition of The Grayson Waller Effect.

Grayson Waller is also an Aussie, so including him in Elimination Chamber is a no-brainer. As you can see from the announcement video, the recent WrestleMania XL Kickoff is ready-made fodder for the way he loves to stir the pot.

Could a match come out of it? Perhaps. WWE is being very careful with Rollins after he injured his knee last month, but there’s nothing to stop something impromptu between Rhodes and Waller coming out of this.

More likely, it could be used to further a rumored tag team match pitting Rhodes and Rollins against Reigns and The Rock. That’s something that has become a popular fan theory ever since the Kickoff event, and it could gain momentum at the final premium live event before WrestleMania if that’s the direction WWE is headed.

Regardless, anyone who has tickets to Elimination Chamber will be happy that some of the most prominent stars seen on a weekly basis are going to make the trip to Australia after all. The show takes place, Saturday, Feb. 24 at Optus Stadium in Perth.
