The final Premium Live Event before WrestleMania 41, WWE Elimination Chamber will determine the other 2 top title matches for the biggest show of the year.
With Men’s Royal Rumble winner Jey Uso choosing World Heavyweight Champion Gunther and Women’s Royal Rumble winner Charlotte Flair choosing WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton, Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes and Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley will find out who their Mania opponents will be when all is said and done at Elimination Chamber.
Also on the show, Hall of Famer Trish Stratus will make her return to action as she will team with Stratton to take on Nia Jax and Candie LeRae. Additionally, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will write the latest chapter of their rivalry in an unsanctioned match.
WWE Elimination Chamber Predictions
Liv Morgan vs. Bianca Belair vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley vs. Naomi vs. Roxanne Perez – Women’s Elimination Chamber Match
With no clear challenger to Rhea Ripley heading into the show, in reality this could be just about anyone’s match to win. Alexa Bliss vs. Ripley has the star power factor and gives Bliss a major Mania return match, Morgan and Ripley have history albeit very recent, Perez is the young upstart who could play the underdog against Ripley, Bayley would be a popular choice as she is continually a fan favourite and Naomi has been without a Women’s Championship for too long. However, fans are still waiting to see the clash between Belair and Ripley that dates all the way back to 2021 when Belair eliminated Ripley from the Royal Rumble to become the last woman standing. With Belair also undefeated at Mania and now lo longer Women’s Tag Team Champion, this looks to be the most logical option.
Winner: Bianca Belair
Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn – Unsanctioned Match
With both men very familiar with one another and fans familiar with their history, there is a strong case that this will be the match of the night. One of two things will likely happen here, and neither will see Owens win. Either a returning Orton will get his revenge on Owens to allow Zayn to win and set up Owens vs. Orton at Mania, or something so dangerous will happen that both men will be ruled to cleared to continue, even though it is an unsanctioned match. Regardless, this one will be the one that fans will be talking about.
Winner: Sami Zayn
Tiffany Stratton And Trish Stratus vs. Nia Jax And Candice LeRae
This match has been put together to achieve 2 objectives. Along with establishing Tiffany Stratton as the clear babyface heading into her WrestleMania match with Charlotte Flair, this will also highlight that Stratton can still perform at a high level as she closes in on 25 years since her debut. Stratton and Stratus will win this one and will likely see a post-match angle involving Flair, but the champion isn’t losing in Toronto.
Winners: Tiffany Stratton and Trish Stratus
John Cena vs. CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Logan Paul vs. Damian Priest vs. Seth “Freakin” Rollins – Men’s Elimination Chamber Match
The big question with this match is what does WWE want to do with John Cena for his final WrestleMania. Logic dictates that Cena would win this match and main event Mania one final time to challenge Rhodes, but the Hollywood star also has all year to go for title 17. McIntyre, Paul and Rollins all look unlikely to win this match, meaning that Punk is the other alternative. With rumours that it will be Punk vs. Rollins vs. Roman Reigns at Mania, there is a chance that The OTC makes his return at the show to eliminate Punk and Rollins, leaving Cena to pick up the victory.
Winner: John Cena
