Less than 24 hours remain until the highly anticipated 2024 WWE Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event, serving as the final major WWE showcase on the Road to WrestleMania XL.
The event boasts an impressive lineup of top stars, yet notably absent from the Australian event are any members of The Bloodline.
This absence has sparked speculation among fans, suggesting that WWE may be deliberately keeping The Bloodline’s involvement under wraps to surprise the audience.
With the need to elevate anticipation for the Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes clash at WrestleMania, Elimination Chamber presents the ideal platform for such intrigue.
During the WrestleMania XL Kickoff press event, a tantalizing power struggle between The Rock and WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H was hinted at, hinting at potential developments to unfold during the upcoming event.
While Triple H confirmed earlier in the week that The Great One wouldn’t be part of Elimination Chamber due to scheduling constraints, there’s still a chance The Rock could make an unexpected appearance, potentially disrupting World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and Men’s Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes during the Grayson Waller Effect.
One conceivable scenario sees The Rock issuing a challenge for a Tag Team match at WrestleMania Night One, potentially teaming up with Roman Reigns.

Alternatively, The Great One could orchestrate a Tag Team bout involving The Visionary and The American Nightmare against A-Town Down at Elimination Chamber.
There’s also the possibility of The People’s Champion directly challenging Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania, or orchestrating an ambush on Rollins and Rhodes by enlisting the services of Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso.
While The Rock’s presence at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event isn’t confirmed, he has hinted at conditions that could prompt his appearance at the Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia.
In a backstage interview, The Great One asserted his willingness to fly down to Perth immediately if Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins engage in any trash-talking antics during the Waller Effect. He made his stance clear:
“Here’s the bullsh*t that’s happening now down in Australia. Cody Rhodes and his little girlfriend Seth Rollins are gonna go on the Waller Effect. Here’s the thing – I need you, and you, and this goof holding the camera, and this one holding the microphone over here; I need all of you guys to make sure that Perth knows there’s some bullsh*t happening. And if those guys – those guys meaning Cody and his little girlfriend Seth – if they start talking trash, let The Rock know. Tell The Rock. Because here’s what’s gonna happen – The Rock is gonna slap the pi*s out of both of them just like that.”
While WWE typically features at least one veteran name for major events, Elimination Chamber is set to deviate from the norm by spotlighting current talent exclusively.
However, The Rock’s electrifying potential appearance could break this pattern, drawing a thunderous response from the Australian crowd.
