The next pay-per-view (PPV) on the WWE schedule is Judicial Department The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 18, 2023 at the Bell Center in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This event is one that the company uses annually as a bridge from them Royal Rumble to WrestleMania.
There are four official matches of the show and a fifth that we can reasonably be sure will happen. It’s a big card!
- WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Sami Zayn
Zayn finally turned on Reigns at the Royal Rumble, and was defeated and kicked out of The Bloodline for him. Sami explained that he wanted Reigns and was coming to take his titles and Roman decided to do it in Montreal so he could embarrass Sami in front of all his friends and family. There is no reason to think a change of address will happen here but the atmosphere will be electric.
- Elimination Chamber Championship: Austin Theory (c) vs. Seth Rollins vs. Johnny Gargano vs. Bronson Reed vs. Damien Priest vs. Montez Ford
Qualifying matches were held to determine who would participate in The Theory Challenge for their title. The list of names you see here, of course, were the victors. There is a lot of history with Rollins but other than that this is wide open for a new program for Theory and someone else.
- Elimination Chamber: Raquel Rodriguez vs. Liv Morgan vs. Nikki Cross vs. Asuka vs. Natalya vs. Carmella
Rodriguez, Morgan, Cross, and Asuka were awarded a spot due to the fact that they were the final four eliminated from the Royal Rumble match. Natalia and Carmella won the qualifying matches.
- Edge and Beth Phoenix vs Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley
Edge and Doomsday were forever gone for what felt like forever. When that included his wife taking a concerto, it was only a matter of time before we got a mixed tag team match at a major show. that’s it.
- Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley
I’m including this here because they’ve already shot an angle for this and will be doing the contract signing part Monday Night Raw this week. It is at least possible that they will not play the match but there is no reason to believe that they will not play the match.
Considering they have a big title match and two separate Elimination Chamber matches, this might be the full ticket.
