Elimination Chamber Results, Winners and WWE Highlights

Rhea Ripley won the 2026 Women’s Elimination Chamber Match and is headed to WrestleMania. Tiffany Stratton and Kiana James of SmackDown kicked off the bout, matching their supreme athleticism with a desperate desire to headline WrestleMania 42. Asuka entered the match next, however she was met with a preemptive strike from James, but it wasn’t long before The Empress of Tomorrow took control. Alexa Bliss checked in as the fourth competitor, dropping the entire field with her chaotic strikes and unorthodox style of offense. Ripley entered shortly after Stratton was catapulted into a chamber pod, and the former Women’s World Champion cleaned house thanks to a series of headbutts, but she was unable to hit Bliss with a Riptide. A Twisted Bliss from atop a chamber pod knocked down the four Superstars, but Bliss’ attempt to win the match was upended by Asuka’s mist, allowing James to roll her up and eliminate her.

World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk retained his title in his hometown of Chicago, vanquishing Finn Bálor in a hotly contested matchup. The agile Bálor showed that he was ready for a fight as he traded blows with the champion, later knocking him off the top rope to a cascade of boos. Bálor was cruising, and it looked like only a matter of time before he captured the title, until the crowd rallied behind Punk and buoyed him with a sudden burst of energy. The frustration began to build for both competitors as neither could find the winning move, with Punk’s GTS swiftly countered into a near-fall. Bálor’s stamina was on full display as he consistently beat Punk to his feet, but not even a devastating Coup De Grace could beat Punk. The champion rallied and managed to hit a GTS, but Bálor wisely rolled out of the ring, only for Punk to fall victim to a Sling Blade and a Shotgun Dropkick through the barricade.

The legendary Randy Orton punched his ticket to WrestleMania 42 for a guaranteed WWE Championship Match. Cody Rhodes and Je’Von Evans started the match, and the newcomer showed out with his unbelievable athleticism matched only by his exuberant personality. Trick Williams entered at No. 3 and electrified the crowd by taking out The Young OG before turning his attention to The American Nightmare. Logan Paul entered next, but was immediately jumped by all three of his competitors, culminating in them sending him face-first into the chamber pod. LA Knight continued the assault on The Maverick, even tossing him from atop a chamber pod before hitting Evans with a BFT. Orton entered the fray last, taking out the entire field of Superstars, allowing The Young OG to hit a fantastic Frog Splash. However, Paul was laying in wait and hit a Paulverizer to eliminate Evans. Knight tweaked his knee attempting an Elbow Drop, allowing Paul to hit him with a blow up before rolling him up for the elimination. Just moments later, Rhodes nailed Williams with a Cross Rhodes, but The Maverick tossed him aside in order to secure his third elimination. Suddenly, a masked man appeared and attempted to gain entry into the chamber, but was thwarted by Raw General Manager Adam Pearce. Shockingly, a second masked man found his way inside the structure. A Superkick and a Stomp to Paul allowed Rhodes to eliminate The Vision’s star, allowing the masked man to reveal himself as none other than Seth Rollins. Amid all of the chaos, Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre broke into the chamber and hit Rhodes with the title. Rhodes and Orton took out The Scottish Warrior, but Orton nailed Rhodes with a RKO to win the epic match. _______________________________________ https://www.choosechicago.com/
