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:<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n

Dave Meltzer confirmed the report as legitimate this evening on the F4WOnline.com message board, saying the February pay-per-view event will be called WWE Fast Lane\u2014no venue or date has been announced for the show.<\/p>\n
Meltzer added that an Elimination Chamber Match may still be held in 2015, but not in February.<\/p>\n
