WWE has announced that an Elimination Chamber media scrum shall be happening next week. There may also be a Kickoff event on Friday and a post-show media scrum after the pay-per-view event on Saturday.
On this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, Trish Stratus made a surprise return to the blue brand, aiding Tiffany Stratton after her victory over Candice LeRae.
Stratus intervened to avoid wasting Stratton from a post-match attack by Nia Jax and Candice. Nonetheless, despite the percentages being evened, Nia and Candice overpowered each Stratus and Stratton. Nia then stacked them up and delivered a devastating double Annihilator.
You’ll be able to try some highlights from the match below:

During a recent appearance on Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast, Michael Cole recalled a time where he and Pat McAfee were involved in an argument over McAfee wearing shorts on the WrestleMania 35 Kickoff show.
You’ll be able to try some highlights from the podcast below:
On the beginning of McAfee’s WWE run: “Pat and I are really good friends. Pat was all the time a wrestling fan. He got here to one among our house shows in Indiana plenty of years ago. We just began talking. He’s like, ‘I’d like to do this.’ He was at Barstool on the time. We’re like, ‘Why don’t you are available in and begin performing some stuff with NXT.’ He got here in and began doing the Countdown shows and all that. Me and him got really close after which our relationship imploded for an evening. I’m not answerable for the announcers. I used to, I’m not only an announcer, but I used to be answerable for all of the announcers. I used to be a VP in the corporate doing all of that.”
On their WrestleMania 35 argument: “We brought Pat in to do the WrestleMania kick-off show. Everybody at WrestleMania is in tuxes and ties. Pat shows up in shorts. They were tuxedo shorts, but he shows up in shorts. We’re about to go on the air live, it’s all this pressure. I see Pat walk into Gorilla with these shorts on and I’m like, in front of everybody, which is my bad, ‘What the f**k are you doing? Dude, you’re in f**king shorts. It’s WrestleMania.’ Stephanie McMahon is there. Vince [McMahon] (is there). I’m dressing down Pat. In the warmth of the moment, I didn’t give it some thought. He stormed off. ‘Where the f**k are you going?’ ‘I’m not doing the show.’
“He goes back and is packing his bag within the locker room to depart. He goes, ‘You only embarrassed me in front of everybody on this company.’ I never considered it that way, but he was right. It’s hard because these guys are your peers and also you’re working on air with them, but you furthermore may manage them. Thank God I got out of that. Pat was going to pack his bags and leave. We ended up working it out and we showed Vince the shorts and Vince was, after all, Vince. ‘They appear great, why are you yelling at him?’ He just likes to stir the s**t, right. Ever since then, I believe that brought us closer together. We’ve been best friends since.”
