Just like the sun rises and sets every day, the coming of Wrestlemania season is an inevitability – it’s a journey that was started back at the polarising Royal Rumble 2017. Storylines mature, rivalries are cemented, and WWE prepares its pyrotechnic budget ahead of the biggest event of the wrestling calendar.
Before then, however, we have a couple of PPVs to get through that will help the Wrestlemania card take shape. First up is SmackDown with Elimination Chamber 2017: their exclusive time in the limelight before RAW gets theirs with Fastlane.
The main event is shaping up to be a great one with John Cena defending his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against five other guys with the winner getting a headline spot at WrestleMania. Elsewhere, the Smackdown Women’s Championship and SmackDown Tag Team Championship are on the line with the latter having the potential to steal the show.
Grudge matches are also on the menu with Nikki Bella taking on Natalya and Becky Lynch battling Mickie James. Dolph Ziggler has a handicap match because reasons. Check out our predictions here.
When is Elimination Chamber 2017?
Elimination Chamber 2017 takes place this Sunday, February 12th.
What time does it start?
WWE have it listed as 8 ET/5 PT Stateside. This makes it 1am in the UK, so that would be the Kick-Off starting at midnight. You can look up your timezone here.
