Welcome to the Grapevine! This section of Smark Henry is where we round up all the important founded and unfounded rumors floating around the pro wrestling scene that you may have missed over the past few days. Remember to take everything with a grain of salt!
Plans for Elimination Chamber
Right now the current plan for Elimination Chamber is still to hold two Chamber matches, with the second to be announced on SmackDown this week. It's not clear yet what the second Chamber match would be for, though many still believe that Royal Rumble winner Edge is set to challenge Universal Champion Roman Reigns for WrestleMania.

We say: Ringside News is framing this as a spoiler when it's just justified speculation. The Elimination Chamber PPVs have all had two Chamber matches (despite conventional wisdom), it's only a matter of when they'll be announcing it. Though if they knew any better, they'd just stick with the Chamber match they have now and call it a day.
Cody Rhodes possibly injured
AEW has announced that Cody Rhodes had apparently been injured on this week's Dynamite. He reportedly suffered a slightly torn rotator cuff in a tag team match alongside Lee Johnson against Peter Avalon and Cezar Bononi. It's not clear yet whether the injury is legitimate, as he still is booked in a mixed tag team match with Red Velvet against Shaquille O'Neal and Jade Cargill on the March 3 Dynamite.
We say: We hope he's okay, but if he is truly injured, seems like he could still work that big match with Shaq.
