What Nero said. Just bring back No Way Out and use it for Elimination Chamber matches. Way better sounding than Fast Lane. Wtf?
No Way Out has run it's course. 1998-2009 and then 2012. Why not replace the PPV with a RTWM theme but with a better name? Actually, since this years WrestleMania is in March, wouldn't it be better if nothing would be planned? Much like how March doesn't have PPVs in it when WrestleMania is in April.

Wtf do you mean it's run it's course? "Wrestlemania has happened for 30 years. I think it has ran it's course."
No such thing as ran it's course.

WrestleMania is the biggest wrestling show of the year, lol. B PPVs can compare to the top PPV of the year. No Way Out was a B PPV that has ran far too long for a B PPV.

I'm actually a pretty big fan of the EC concept & PPV. Idk it was something different, if they do rename it/repackage that PPV then so be it, I don't run the company so I can't do anything about it really.. I just would prefer them not to name it either of those.

It's cool with me, as long as they don't pull the plug on the actual EC match.

What you're saying is that it would be the same show with a different name? Meh, there's a lot more to worry about than this lol

Basically. I'm all for keeping the Elimination Chamber as a special occasion, juicing it constantly every year kind ruins the match, especially since there is no blood is in the chamber.

Sounds like a typical smark answer, no offense.

I don't think the Chamber match was hurt at all by the yearly PPV. If nothing else it was made more important because that's how the champion going into Wrestlemania was decided. It was always designed to be a big smoz of people fighting for a title, and not one of these things like Hell in a Cell that used to be "the ultimate battleground for two heated rivals to beat the living shit out of each other" and now "it's October so yay cell match".

Can see the yearly "Rumble winner vs Chamber winner" Wrestlemania main events getting tiring in a way, though.

They market it as a torture chamber, but then again the worst that's happened since 2010 is Punk getting a gash on his thigh.

According to Reddit user MetsFan4Ever, a former WWE employee who has broken several WWE stories in the past, WWE is planning to drop the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. He wrote the following on Friday:

"Word going around backstage this past Tuesday at the SmackDown tapings are that the WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view will be no more. The early lead names going around to replace the Elimination Chamber name will be either WWE Fast Lane or WWE Fast Track."

"The reason is because there is only one WWE / World Champion right now. So they want to stay with the Rumble winner receiving the shot and have no Chamber even with the title holder in the match."

He noted that he expects the Elimination Chamber match to be kept around as a match for certain pay-per-views that call for it.

it should stay but if the name changes it should be wwe fast track
