Jey Uso’s WWE Elimination Chamber Replacement Confirmed On SmackDown
The main event of WWE SmackDown tonight was a massive one as Nick Aldis announced a huge match to finalize the final spot for the Men’s Elimination Chamber match tomorrow night.
All spots of both the Chamber matches were confirmed this past week on RAW, but Jey Uso, who emerged as the final entrant in the match, was brutally attacked before tonight’s episode went on air.
He was confirmed to miss tomorrow’s match following his injuries, and Nick Aldis scrambled to replace the YEET master. He was approached by Logan Paul and Jacob Fatu, both of whom wanted to replace Jey in the match before Aldis made his decision.
Jacob Fatu suffers an unfortunate fate on WWE SmackDown once again
He pitted both Logan and Jacob in a one-on-one qualification match for the Chamber, and the two men gave it their all in the match. Logan had Paul Heyman and Austin Theory by his side, both of whom helped him throughout the match.
Fatu almost had the match in his pocket before Heyman distracted the referee. Paul hit Fatu with a low blow and followed it up with a right hand and a five-star frog splash, but Jacob kicked out at the last second.
Chaos erupted after a masked man attacked Austin Theory at ringside, and Paul came to his aid. He unmasked him, but he was revealed to be a random person, possibly impersonating the masked man.

The chaos allowed Jacob Fatu to attack Logan, and he set him up perfectly for the moonsault, but with the referee occupied with taking the masked man backstage, Drew McIntyre snuck up and smashed the title in Fatu’s face. That allowed Logan Paul to pin the Samoan Werewolf and qualify for WWE Elimination Chamber.
