WWE posted the following announcement hyping up the match:
“After overcoming five other competitors in the Elimination Chamber Saturday, United States Champion Austin Theory announced he wanted to face a worthy opponent during the WWE Elimination Chamber Press Conference.
As Raw is emanating from Ottawa, native Canadian Edge was quick to accept Theory’s challenge. Incidentally, The Rated-R-Superstar also won his match at WWE Elimination Chamber.
