Cruiserweight title match to air on WWE Elimination Chamber pre-show

The Cruiserweight Championship will be on the line on Sunday’s Elimination Chamber pre-show.

WWE confirmed today that Buddy Murphy’s Cruiserweight title defense against Akira Tozawa will air on the Elimination Chamber pre-show. Murphy vs. Tozawa was announced earlier this month after Tozawa defeated Cedric Alexander, Humberto Carrillo, and Lio Rush in a number one contender’s fatal four-way elimination match on 205 Live.

Murphy also defended his title on the Royal Rumble and TLC pre-shows. He defeated Mustafa Ali on the Survivor Series main card prior to that.

• WWE Champion Daniel Bryan defending against AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, Kofi Kingston, Samoa Joe, and Randy Orton in an Elimination Chamber match
• Sasha Banks & Bayley vs. Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville vs. Nia Jax & Tamina vs. Peyton Royce & Billie Kay vs. Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan vs. Naomi & Carmella in an Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles
