Humberto Carrillo to challenge for US title at WWE Elimination Chamber
After last night’s Raw, WWE confirmed that there will be a United States Championship match at Elimination Chamber.
Andrade will defend his US title against Humberto Carrillo at Sunday’s PPV. The match was set up by Carrillo & Rey Mysterio defeating Andrade & Angel Garza on Raw last night.
Carrillo pinned Andrade in that tag match. In a post-show interview that WWE uploaded, Carrillo was asked about getting the title shot at Elimination Chamber. Carrillo said teaming with a legend like Mysterio last night gave him the power to handle Sunday’s title match.
This will be Andrade’s first televised title defense since he returned from his 30-day wellness policy suspension. He returned to the ring as part of the Tuwaiq Trophy gauntlet match at Super ShowDown last Thursday.
The Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is hosting Elimination Chamber. Here’s the updated card:
