As previously reported, WWE is reportedly looking at removing the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view from its lineup or possibly moving the event in June to possibly replace Payback. As a result, Payback could be moved to May or a different month.
The reason why WWE is looking to possibly shift Elimination Chamber is because with Brock Lesnar as the current world champion, it is unlikely he defends the title between the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 31 next year. That means in February, the Elimination Chamber match would not be for the world title or a different prize would have to be on the line. According to a Wrestlezone report, WWE believes this would devalue the Elimination Chamber match.
