— As noted several days ago here on the website, the WWE creative team is reportedly happy only having a couple of weeks to build to Elimination Chamber from Payback. The team prefers having just a couple of weeks to set up for angles as opposed to a full month; the thinking is that four weeks of TV gives too much time for the match-up to get old.

— The Big Show and Randy Orton are expected to return during the short build-up between Elimination Chamber and Money in the Bank. Both have been ready for returns but have been kept off TV. As of last word, they were not booked for tonight’s WWE Elimination Chamber PPV. We can report that The Big Show is backstage at the show right now but he’s been backstage at RAW and SmackDown the last two weeks as well.
