WWE Elimination Chamber Scoops Thread: Danhausen, Betting Odds, More (Patreon)

Welcome to the Fightful Select WWE Elimination Chamber SCOOPS THREAD. We will be updating this throughout the day. Make sure to tune into our post show on Fightful, as well as our SOUR GRAPS post show on Select!

WWE is internally touting a sellout for tonight's WWE Elimination Chamber.

CJ Perry is in attendance at the show and did some local media today.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Mark Long are in attendance

Jey Uso wasn't even planned to travel in to WWE Elimination Chamber as of last Monday. Bronson Reed was slated to win the qualifier, as WrestleVotes reported. As one would expect, Jey Uso being taken out and Logan Paul replacing him in the match was a pivot

It's highly unlikely Chris Jericho will be at Elimination Chamber, as he remains on the All Elite Wrestling roster page. We were told that his deal was extended past this date for the time he had off.

There were a number of OVW talent working as security and extras at Smackdown on February 27 in Louisville.

Sol Ruca is in Chicago and has been scheduled there for weeks as she has a meet and greet planned.

Oba Femi is also in town as he has a scheduled meet and greet.

We're told a number of new WWE ID talent are nailed down and will be announced over the next few weeks.

WrestleVotes Radio reported that there were a number of changes made to the masked man angle. We can confirm this Friday's angle were among them, and that the reveal isn't over, as you would expect.

Wrestletix has reported that 17,150 tickets had been distributed as of Saturday morning, and new seats had been added to the map. Support WrestleTix at this link.

We still haven't heard of an update of local watch parties for businesses being reinstated.

Danhausen

Danhausen is all free.

Danhausen’s All Elite Wrestling deal officially expired after a totally puzzling run with the company. Danhausen was mired by a couple of injuries, but also not booked while healthy for years at a time. 

Danhausen’s option year was picked up, and then he was extended due to injury time. Fightful Select at the time had reported that he requested his deal not be picked up so he would not have to clear indie dates and merchandising with AEW. He would theoretically be available to be "in the crate" tonight, but we haven't confirmed him to be there.

Danhausen has definitely had people in the company pushing for him.
