Update on Plans for the WWE Elimination Chamber Pay-Per-View and Other 2017 Events

Elimination Chamber

As noted, the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix announced this week that they will be hosting the WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view in 2017. No other details were provided but word now is that it will be a RAW-exclusive event on February 12th.

SmackDown will then have their Fastlane pay-per-view on March 5th from the BMO Harris Bank Center in Milwaukee.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that they were given a list of 18 planned pay-per-view dates for 2017. The last number WWE publicized was 19. There was serious talk of cutting back to 16 events in 2017, which would mean changes to the current plans.

The original plan was for Extreme Rules and Money In the Bank to be exclusive to SmackDown. The changes in plans may or may not effect those two shows but the information for Elimination Chamber and Fastlane has been confirmed.
