Rhea Ripley Wins 2026 Women’s Elimination Chamber Match

Posted By: Patrick A Ganczewski on Feb 28, 2026

The Women’s Elimination Chamber match delivered chaos, high impact moments and a clear path to WrestleMania as six Superstars battled for a shot at the Women’s WWE Championship.

Tiffany Stratton, Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Raquel Rodriguez and Kiana James entered the unforgiving steel structure with one goal in mind. The winner would earn the right to challenge Jade Cargill for the Women’s WWE Championship. Cargill herself watched from ringside, keeping a close eye on the action inside the Chamber.

The match began with Kiana James and Tiffany Stratton starting in the ring while the remaining four competitors were locked inside their pods. James and Stratton traded control early, with James connecting on a standing moonsault and attempting several quick pinfalls. Stratton answered back with a suplex onto the steel platform outside the ring and nearly shifted momentum before the first pod opened.

Asuka was the first to be released and immediately injected speed and intensity into the match. She overwhelmed both James and Stratton, slamming them into the chain link walls and hitting a double missile dropkick from the top rope. Her signature kicks echoed throughout the structure as she tried to take control.

Alexa Bliss entered next to a strong reaction and quickly made her presence felt. She dropped multiple opponents with dropkicks and counters, nearly landing Sister Abigail on more than one occasion. Rhea Ripley then exploded into the match, flattening anyone in her path and even delivering a Razor’s Edge that stacked opponents on top of one another.

Bliss climbed to the top of a pod and launched herself onto the field of competitors in a high risk dive. However, the momentum shifted quickly when Asuka sprayed mist into Bliss’ eyes. Kiana James capitalized with a roll up to eliminate Bliss, drawing heavy boos from the crowd.

Raquel Rodriguez entered and immediately changed the dynamic with her power. She hurled opponents into the steel walls, slammed bodies against the chain link and even drove Kiana James through a pod in a jaw dropping moment. Rodriguez then delivered a Tejana Bomb onto a pile of bodies and scored a double elimination, removing both Asuka and James from the match in dominant fashion.

That left Rodriguez, Ripley and Stratton as the final three.

Rodriguez continued to use her strength advantage, repeatedly launching Ripley and Stratton into the steel. But the numbers eventually caught up to her. Stratton seized an opening and connected with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever to eliminate Rodriguez, leaving the match down to two.

With Jade Cargill watching closely, Tiffany Stratton and Rhea Ripley went head to head in a dramatic closing stretch. Stratton attempted another aerial assault, but Ripley avoided disaster and capitalized. After driving Stratton into the glass pod, Ripley planted her with a Riptide and secured the decisive three count.

Rhea Ripley now advances to challenge Jade Cargill for the Women’s WWE Championship at WrestleMania, setting the stage for a massive showdown on the grandest stage of them all.
