WWE announced a huge triple threat match for Bobby Lashley’s United States Championship. Lashley will defend his title against Keith Lee and Riddle.

After this, Lashley, along with the Hurt Business, entered the ring. He attacked both the opponents and laid them out, proving his dominance. Now, the trio will settle their score at the upcoming pay-per-view.

The preview for the match stated, “Both Riddle and Lee are seeking their first championship breakthrough since arriving on the red brand and will have their hands full against Lashley. After hearing he’d have to take on not but two enterprising upstarts, Lashley was furious with WWE Official Adam Pearce over the decision.”

Bobby Lashley is in his second reign as the United States Champion. On the last episode of Raw, Lashley defended his title against Riddle, losing via disqualification.

Elimination Chamber 2021 has three matches as of now. The main event will feature Drew McIntyre defending his WWE Championship inside the Chamber, and his opponents are all past champions.
