“These guys who are obviously great at what they do, but not the, I don’t know what you want to call them, more agile sort of smaller guys who are known for their work rate or these types of exciting matches.”

The SmackDown lineup for the Chamber consists of Kevin Owens, Daniel Bryan, Cesaro, Jey Uso, King Corbin, and of course, Sami Zayn.
“I’d have to go through the history of Elimination Chamber matches, but the lineup feels very, very different. It has a very different feel from any other Elimination Chamber match I’ve ever heard about,” admitted the Superstar.
