Welcome to our live coverage of Elimination Chamber from a sold out United Center in Chicago. The road to WrestleMania rolled on with two Chamber matches, three championship bouts, surprise appearances, and plenty of chaos inside the steel.

National Anthem And Show Opening

Chicago native Hannah Heavin delivered the national anthem to a strong ovation before the broadcast shifted inside the packed arena. Michael Cole and Corey Graves welcomed viewers as the Elimination Chamber structure lowered above the ring. Among those shown arriving earlier were AJ Lee and CM Punk, both receiving huge reactions. Jade Cargill was also spotted watching from a suite, scouting her future challenger in the Women’s Elimination Chamber.

Women’s Elimination Chamber: Tiffany Stratton vs Rhea Ripley vs Alexa Bliss vs Asuka vs Raquel Rodriguez vs Kiana James

Alexa Bliss and Asuka were among the first entrants shown before the match began, while Kiana James and Tiffany Stratton started the bout in the ring. The early exchanges were competitive, with James showing surprising aggression and nearly stealing a quick elimination.

Asuka entered first from the pods and immediately shifted momentum with a flurry of strikes and a double missile dropkick. Alexa Bliss followed and injected speed into the match, even climbing to the top of a pod before wiping out the field with a daring dive.

Bliss’ run ended abruptly when Asuka sprayed mist into her eyes, allowing Kiana James to score the elimination. Raquel Rodriguez later entered and dominated with power, smashing competitors into the chain walls and even driving James through a pod. Rodriguez eliminated both James and Asuka in quick succession to a huge reaction.

The final three came down to Rodriguez, Ripley, and Stratton. After a physical exchange filled with heavy slams and cage collisions, Stratton eliminated Rodriguez with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever, drawing boos from the crowd. That left Stratton and Ripley alone.

Ripley survived a late surge from Stratton, countered another aerial attempt, and delivered a decisive Riptide to secure the victory.

WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship Match: Becky Lynch vs AJ Lee

Becky Lynch entered first as the defending champion, with hometown favorite AJ Lee receiving a strong ovation. The early minutes saw Lynch lean into heel tactics, stalling and frustrating both Lee and the Chicago crowd.

Lee eventually mounted a comeback with quick strikes, a Tornado DDT, and a near fall that brought the arena to life. Lynch removed a turnbuckle pad during the match and attempted to use it to her advantage, but Lee avoided disaster on multiple occasions.

In a dramatic closing stretch, Lee locked in the Black Widow while the referee was temporarily down. Lynch tapped, but there was no official to see it. After further chaos involving a steel chair and the exposed turnbuckle, Lynch accidentally collided with the exposed corner.

Lee capitalized, trapped Lynch in the Black Widow once again, and this time forced the tap out.

WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match: CM Punk vs Finn Balor

Finn Balor entered first before CM Punk received a special hometown introduction from legendary Chicago Bulls announcer Ray Clay. The crowd erupted as Punk made his way to the ring to Cult of Personality.

The match unfolded as a technical and physical battle. Both men traded holds, counters, and momentum swings, with Balor targeting Punk’s midsection throughout. Punk bled from the mouth but continued to fight back, landing a top rope elbow and later locking in the Anaconda Vice.

Balor connected with a Coup de Grace for a dramatic near fall that had the crowd stunned. After several counters and reversals, Punk ultimately regained control, lifted Balor, and delivered the Go To Sleep for the victory.

The Crate Box Is Opened

Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis appeared on stage to open a mysterious crate. Inside was a coffin. When it opened, Danhausen emerged alongside a group of eccentric allies. Moments later, the lights went out, and when they returned, they had vanished.

Men’s Elimination Chamber Match: Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton vs Trick Williams vs Je’Von Evans vs LA Knight vs Logan Paul

Trick Williams received a thunderous reaction to open the main event entrances. LA Knight followed, then Logan Paul, who was accompanied by Austin Theory and Paul Heyman. Randy Orton entered fourth and was locked inside a pod, setting up a record breaking Chamber appearance. Cody Rhodes and Je’Von Evans began the match.

Rhodes and Evans opened with a fast paced exchange before Trick Williams entered and brought heavy strikes into the mix. Logan Paul entered next and was immediately overwhelmed by the field, including being sent crashing through a pod.

LA Knight later joined and zeroed in on Paul. A chaotic sequence atop a pod saw Knight deliver a BFT before Randy Orton finally entered and methodically cleaned house.

Je’Von Evans was eliminated by Logan Paul following the Paulverizer. Knight appeared poised for momentum until Paul struck with a low blow and stole another elimination. Paul later opportunistically eliminated Trick Williams after Cody Rhodes hit Cross Rhodes.

The chaos escalated when a masked man appeared and was removed, only for the true attacker to reveal himself as Seth Rollins. Rollins attacked Logan Paul, setting up his elimination and leaving Rhodes and Orton as the final two.

Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre stormed the ring and attacked Rhodes with the title belt, looking to influence the outcome. Orton responded with an RKO to McIntyre. Rhodes hit Cross Rhodes on McIntyre, but in a flash, Orton struck with an RKO to Rhodes.

Orton covered and secured the victory.
