The next major event is the returning Elimination Chamber, this time a special on the WWE Network. We have five confirmed matches for the show at this point. Two of them are Chamber matches, with the tag titles and vacant Intercontinental titles being defended for the first time inside the structure. Kevin Owens will make his main roster in-ring debut against U.S. Champion John Cena. HERE IS the updated match card. 

–Steve Austin will be one of the major wrestling icons featured in WWE 2K16 “showcase mode” for the upcoming PS4 and XBox One game. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler will be providing voice-overs for some of the in-game content. 

–In other Steve Austin news, he’ll be hosting his podcast on the WWE Network again starting June 1st. He’ll be interviewing Paul Heyman first, but Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Sting and “other celebrities” have been confirmed. 

–Ronda Rousey spoke with WWE.com about WrestleMania, appearing with The Rock, and her vow to return to pro wrestling one way or another in the future. It’s crazy that UFC’s number one draw is on the front page of WWE’s website.
