As PWMania.com previously reported, WWE United States Champion Austin Theory successfully defended his title in the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match on Saturday night following an angle involving Logan Paul. Theory, Montez Ford, and Seth Rollins were the finalists. After Rollins knocked Ford out with a Stomp, Theory stole the pin. Ford remained on the ground as the game continued until the referee summoned officials and medics to attend to him. The Street Profit was escorted out of the Chamber, which opened the door for Paul to enter and drop Rollins, then finish him off with a Stomp so Theory could win the pin.
According to an update, Ford’s injury was all part of the match. Ford is fine, according to Fightful Select, and the injury angle was staged to set up Paul’s entrance into the Chamber.
On a related note, Paul praised Ford on Twitter following Elimination Chamber.
“Montez Ford the real MVP,” Paul wrote, who is set to face Rollins at WrestleMania 39.
As of this writing, Ford had not responded to Paul’s tweet, but the post had been liked and retweeted by his wife, RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair.
