Kevin Owens and Jey Uso to Enter the WWE Elimination Chamber – Roman Reigns Furious at SmackDown GM Adam Pearce
WWE has booked Jey Uso, and Kevin Owens for Elimination Chamber scheduled for February 21st, 2021.
On WWE SmackDown: February 12th, 2021, Adam Pearce announced that Jey Uso and Kevin Owens have qualified for Elimination Chamber. Whoever wins gets a title shot against Roman Reigns that very night.
The episode started with Reigns, Heyman, and Uso coming out to the arena. Pearce was already in the ring. He handed Reigns a contract which said ‘The Tribal Chief’ will need to defend his title at the Elimination Chamber, and not in the chamber.
Initially, Pearce announced Uso’s qualification. However, before he walked away, he turned to Reigns and said Owens made the list after his performance against Reigns at Royal Rumble 2021.
This made Reigns angry. Unfortunately. he couldn’t react harshly considering Pearce is a WWE Official and he can’t risk any sort of suspension given the events that are lined up.

Possible Reasons why WWE booked Jey Uso and Kevin Owens for Elimination Chamber
#1 Revisit the feud between cousins
It’s interesting that WWE has booked Jey Uso for Elimination Chamber. If he wins, he goes up against his cousin all over again.
The rivalry between Uso and Reigns captivated the audience while it lasted. The company did not drag it on more than necessary and turned the rivalry into a family union in the end.
If Uso vs. Reigns happens all over again at Elimination Chamber, it might be to give a push to the stories revolving around the WWE Universal Champion Title.
#2 Level up the feud between Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens
Coming to Kevin Owens, the WWE Universe realized the rivalry between Reigns and Owens is far from over when Owens attacked Reigns on the previous episode of SmackDown.
The duo have been feuding for a while now, and at Royal Rumble 2021, they bypassed the threshold for brutality.
It’s possible the company wants to keep leveling up the rivalry and brutality until WrestleMania 37.
#3 Keep Reigns occupied until Edge makes a decision
Talking about WrestleMania 37, Edge has announced he won’t be choosing a champion to challenge until after Elimination Chamber.

This means both Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns need to defend their titles at the Chamber against the winners of Elimination Chamber matches.
The current champions have a higher chance of emerging victorious, regardless of the challenger. This seems like another way used by the company to the champions occupied until Edge makes a decision.
Do you think Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre will keep their titles at Elimination Chamber? Let us know in the comments below.
