WWE is all about surprises, and they’ve gone about that in many different ways. This week on RAW, we were introduced to another thing with an eventual payoff at Elimination Chamber.
The February 16 episode of WWE RAW rolled through the FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee, and with Elimination Chamber right around the corner, it appears that we have a lot more coming to Chicago than we had first thought.
During WWE RAW this week, General Manager Adam Pearce appeared in a backstage segment during the first part of the show. He saw a big wooden crate that said Deliver To WWE, DO NOT OPEN UNTIL FEBRUARY 28.
Adam Pearce asked a stagehand what was in the crate, but they didn’t know. The fact that February 28 is also the date of the 2026 Elimination Chamber was not lost on Pearce. Instead of opening the crate or dealing with the situation, he ordered that the crate be sent to SmackDown this week so Nick Aldis can deal with it.
The 2026 Elimination Chamber premium live event takes place on February 28 at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. It will be interesting to see what’s in the crate.
We will have to see what is in that crate. This kind of thing has backfired in the past, as fans sometimes get their hopes up. Keep checking back with us here at Ringside News for more updates!
