Because it's shit?
According to Stephanie, its because a lot of arenas can't handle the weight of the chamber or something. Also probably budget cuts.

This gif will get a lot of use from me.
CM Punk chant.
Yeah, this is not edited at all.
I watched a playthrough of deadly premonition and played a little of it and loved it. I almost quit on the show 45 minutes in but I said I'll give it till the end of a episode. This show is so good. Watched a season and 3 episodes since Friday.
See, vince wanted that to happen. Vince wants reigns to be champ, not bryan. Vince likes getting his own way.

I see. But looking over their current roster is telling. They have a huge lack of viable options. I mean, what in the actual fuck is a 60 year old Diamond Dallas Page doing entering a Royal Rumble in 2015? That's madness.
Why isn't AJ Styles in the company? I saw him on a Ring of Honor show a few weeks ago on a Saturday night free tv show and he looked incredible. Surely he's more interesting than half these guys that are getting boo'd out of the building in this Rumble.

Let it go; Bryan's Wrestlemania Title glory is beyond repair. He's not fighting Brock, He's not getting the title, he's not gonna have a match lasting more than 10 minutes. He'll put Roman over at SummerSlam or Payback and that'll be the end of it.

According to Steph i think she said that it severely limited the venues they could use for the match, given the building requirements of the chamber.
Maybe content gets repeated cuz Vince likes its look

No now is dropping the strap a month before Wrestlemania.

He'll have a nice, tenured spot on the roster for years to come where he will get polite pops until one day he enters the Royal Rumble at #30 in place of some fan favorite.

So what is the gimmick of Fast Lane going to be?

You assume they'll even give him the honor of putting Roman over on PPV and not on a random episode of Raw as an afterthought before they downgrade him to dark match jobberdom.

Bryan's primary value to the company right now is as a regular star on Total Divas.
Dean's music is going to play repeatedly and who ever has the most pins before the vrooooooom, wins

You could write a book on how awful all this booking is. Basically everyone other than Rusev, Wyatt and DDP. A literal textbook. Cut it down person by person and in chronological order. The lead-up and fallout. God. Was the WWE paid by a larger corporation to put up a "how to not run your entertainment promotion" show?
My actual guess is because with only 1 championship now the prize would have to at best be a spot in a triple threat at WM. Won't pay Brock to fight and put down the belt so just cancel the whole thing.
Wait, what?!! That's been a fan-favorite for ages. At minimum it's a unique format. WWE too poor for "3 miles of steel chains" (or whatever)? This is what we get for not buying the network, people!

Someone needs to make a gif of Ziggler being dumped out of the ring. And when he lands, #buried flashes on the screen.
I remember last year more than a few people had memorable spots at least. It was like they put a leash on everyone in case they accidentally overshadowed Reigns or something.

I always thought having the chamber before Mania sort of undermined the Rumble anyway, because 5 guys get a shot of main eventing WrestleMania if they beat the champ.
It also takes more set up than say, Hell in a Cell storyline wise, which is pretty easy to write into any feud.
