Things went south between Reigns and Zayn when Zayn struck the tribal chief with a chair at Royal Rumble.
The Bloodline's adoption of "Honorary Uce" Zayn is one of the best storylines WWE has produced in a long time.
At the Rumble, Reigns demanded that Zayn blast estranged best friend Owens with a chair shot to the head.
Instead, a hesitant Zayn struck Reigns with the chair.
Zayn made it clear he was now gunning for Reigns and his titles but received a beat-down from Reigns, who said he'd give Zayn the match in front of Zayn's family in Montreal as payback for disrupting the natural order in the Bloodline.

It was announced on the January 30th episode of Monday Night Raw that Theory will defend his U.S. championship inside the Elimination Chamber. Qualifier matches took place over the next few weeks, putting many familiar names in the mix.
Montez Ford is an especially interesting dark horse candidate to take the title but much of the attention will be on the standing rivalry between Theory and Rollins as the match unfolds.

Rhea Ripley, the women's Royal Rumble winner, revealed that she would challenge for the SmackDown women's championship.
Adam Pearce subsequently announced that Belair would defend the Raw women's championship at WrestleMania 39 against the winner of a No. 1 contender's Elimination Chamber match.

Natalya and Carmella won their way into the match via qualifiers last week.
