I\\u2019m Matt Carlins and this is JUST Pro Wrestling News for Sunday, February 21, 2021.

\\n\\n

This update is brought to you by IndyWrestling.us.

\\n\\n

Results from Saturday night\\u2019s Bloodsport 5 show are straight ahead in this update but first...

\\n\\n

WWE is closing a significant chapter in its history as it presents Elimination Chamber tonight.

\\n\\n

Two matches will be held inside the Chamber itself.

\\n\\n

Drew McIntyre defends the WWE Championship against Randy Orton, AJ Styles, Kofi Kingston, Jeff Hardy and Sheamus, who will be the final man to enter the Chamber. He earned that right by winning a gauntlet match on last Monday\\u2019s Raw - pinning McIntyre to seal the win.

\\n\\n

The Chamber match from SmackDown has Kevin Owens, Cesaro, Daniel Bryan, Jey Uso, King Corbin and Sami Zayn battling for a Universal Title match against Roman Reigns later in the show.

\\n\\n

Also announced for tonight - Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax defend the women\\u2019s tag team titles against Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair.

\\n\\n

Plus, Bobby Lashley defends the U.S. Title in a 3-way against Keith Lee and Riddle.

\\n\\n

WWE\\u2019s website is still listing a Raw Women\\u2019s Title match between Asuka and Lacey Evans. Though that would seem to be impossible since Evans announced on Monday\\u2019s Raw that she\\u2019s pregnant.

\\n\\n

In the United States, this is the final pay per view on the current incarnation of the WWE Network.

\\n\\n

Peacock takes over the exclusive streaming rights to WWE Network in the U.S. on March 18.

\\n\\n

The first pay per view of The Peacock Era is Fastlane on March 21st.

\\n\\n

Adam Cole tweeted Saturday that he\\u2019ll \\u201cexplain everything\\u201d on Wednesday\\u2019s NXT...and he added \\u201cit\\u2019s a lot more than just \\u201cwhy\\u201d...\\u201d

\\n\\n

Also, William Regal says he\\u2019s raising the stakes for the match between Karrion Kross and Santos Escobar on NXT. It\\u2019ll now be a No Disqualification Match. If Escobar is a no-show, he\\u2019ll be stripped of his Cruiserweight Championship and suspended.

\\n\\n

(STINGER: New Japan)

\\n\\n

More unwelcome news from New Japan\\u2019s Castle Attack tour.

\\n\\n

IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champ Hiromu Takahashi was pulled from Saturday\\u2019s Road To show. New Japan announced he suffered a shoulder injury during the main event of Friday\\u2019s show. Takahashi is still on the card for Monday\\u2019s show.

\\n\\n

New Japan has officially pulled Tetsuya Naito from Monday\\u2019s show. He\\u2019s been sidelined since he suffered a knee injury on last Tuesday\\u2019s show. Naito is still scheduled to challenge Kota Ibushi for the IWGP Intercontinental Title a week from today.

\\n\\n

In case you missed this news...The Road To Castle Attack show originally scheduled for this morning was canceled due to earthquake damage to the arena where it was to be held.

\\n\\n

CIMA is the new ALL Japan World Jr. Heavyweight Champion. He dethroned Koji Iwamoto on Saturday.

\\n\\n

Jon Moxley and Josh Barnett will clash at \\u201cBloodsport 6\\u201d...during WrestleMania week in Tampa. The announcement came at the end of Saturday night\\u2019s Bloodsport 5 show...after Mox beat Davey Boy Smith Jr. in the main event.
