Bianca Belair wins Elimination Chamber match, earns WWE WrestleMania title shot

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Bianca Belair has secured a WrestleMania 41 title shot.

By winning the women’s Elimination Chamber match on Saturday night, Belair has earned the right to challenge for the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania this April. She will be facing either Rhea Ripley or IYO SKY for the belt. Ripley is the current champion but has a title defense against SKY on Raw this coming Monday.

Liv Morgan, Alexa Bliss, Roxanne Perez, Bayley, and Naomi were the other participants in the women’s Chamber match. The last three remaining at the end were Belair, Morgan, and Bliss. A Twisted Bliss almost eliminated Belair, but Morgan immediately pinned Bliss after she hit the move. Belair and Morgan then went back and forth until Belair got the victory with the KOD.

In storyline, Belair had to overcome an emotional start to Elimination Chamber. She watched on from her pod as the returning Jade Cargill beat down Naomi, with it being indicated that Naomi was Cargill’s mystery attacker who took her out in November 2024. Belair & Cargill were the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions when Cargill was forced out of action. Naomi replaced Cargill as Belair’s partner, but they recently dropped the tag titles to Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez.

A confrontation between Belair, Ripley, and SKY took place on the stage after Belair’s win. If Ripley retains against SKY, Ripley vs. Belair at WrestleMania will be the first time they have ever faced off in a televised one-on-one match on the WWE main roster.

WrestleMania 41 is being held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 19 and Sunday, April 20.

Jade Cargill returns at WWE Elimination Chamber, mystery attacker revealed

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Jade Cargill is back — and it looks like the identity of her attacker has been revealed.

Before returning tonight, Cargill had been away from WWE programming since being taken out by a mystery attacker in November 2024. She returned at the start of Elimination Chamber with revenge on her mind. As Liv Morgan and Naomi were about to begin the women’s Elimination Chamber match, Cargill’s music hit and she made her way down to the ring. WWE teased that she was going to go after Morgan, but Cargill beat down Naomi instead.

The indication given was that Naomi is turning heel and was Cargill’s mystery attacker. Cargill’s beatdown included kicking Naomi into a Chamber pod and slamming the cage door into her head. Naomi was then stretchered out and removed from the Elimination Chamber match.

From her Chamber pod, Bianca Belair was emotionally distraught watching the attack. Belair & Cargill were the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions at the time Cargill was taken out last November. In Cargill’s place, Naomi teamed with Belair as her new partner. They dropped the belts to Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez recently.

Cargill did have a legitimate injury when she was temporarily written off WWE TV last November but is now cleared to compete.

The Latest: WWE Elimination Chamber media call highlights

Posted on by Denise Salcedo


Welcome to another episode of The Latest with Denise Salcedo breaking down the biggest wrestling news headlines of the week so far.

Ahead of WWE Elimination Chamber, WWE Superstars Sami Zayn, Roxanne Perez, Bianca Belair and Drew McIntyre spoke to the media about their upcoming matches on the show. Here are the top highlights. 

The Rock says he wants Cody Rhodes to be his ‘champion,’ will be at WWE Elimination Chamber for answer

Posted on by Bryan Rose

The Rock wants Cody Rhodes to be his champion.

At the top of the third hour of Friday’s SmackDown, The Rock came out and ambiguously told Cody Rhodes that he wanted Rhodes to be his ‘champion’ before ultimately saying he wanted Cody’s soul. He told Cody that he would be at the Elimination Chamber next weekend, and he wanted an answer then.

The Rock first came out and officially announced that next year’s WrestleMania would be taking place at the Superdome in New Orleans. After that, he called Cody to the ring. Rock said that since WrestleMania 40 they had become good friends, and mentioned giving Cody his flowers during the Netflix premiere of Raw. He reiterated that he was the most powerful person in WWE and touted his connections to TKO owner Ari Emanuel. He then told Cody that he wanted him to be his champion. Rhodes responded that he was their champion, referring to the crowd.

Rock said that he wanted to make Cody more than just the champion, mentioning his social media followers, and he could open doors for Cody that have never been opened before, he could even be his brother. Rock said that when Cody refused to step aside for him at WrestleMania 40, he knew Cody was special. Rock then asked Cody to become ‘his’ champion and would be at Elimination Chamber for his answer.

The segment ended with The Rock saying there was nothing more he wanted in the world than that, seemingly referring to the WWE Championship. Rhodes asked if that’s what this was all about. Rock said it wasn’t about that, he said he wanted Cody’s soul. 

A post-show press conference that will feature The Rock will take place immediately following SmackDown on WWE’s social media channels.

NXT star Perez was the first to qualify on Monday, pinning Raquel Rodriguez. Liv Morgan was at ringside when Bianca Belair & Naomi, who have accused Morgan & Rodriguez of injuring Jade Cargill, came out and attacked Morgan. The distraction allowed Perez to hit pop rocks on Rodriguez to pick up the win.

An unsanctioned match has been added to WWE Elimination Chamber.

On Raw, Sami Zayn challenged Kevin Owen to a match in Toronto on March 1, saying he wanted to face Owens where their long history with one another began. General Manager Adam Pearce came out and scolded Zayn, telling him that he knows that medical told Zayn he wasn’t cleared. Zayn said he wouldn’t leave the ring until he got the match. Pearce then agreed to a match, but it would be an unsanctioned bout, meaning anything goes.

Two weeks ago on Raw, Zayn lost an Elimination Chamber qualifying match to CM Punk. Immediately after the match, Owens came into the ring and quickly took out Zayn with a package piledriver. In a video posted on social media last week, Owens explained that Zayn had betrayed him by not helping him win the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble.

Trish Stratus & Tiffany Stratton challenge Nia Jax & Candice LeRae for WWE Elimination Chamber

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A tag team match has been proposed for next month’s Elimination Chamber.

After Nia Jax and Candice LeRae assaulted both Trish Stratus and Tiffany Stratton on SmackDown, Stratus met with Stratton backstage and proposed that the two team together to solve their issues at Elimination Chamber. Stratton liked the idea, saying it would be Tiffy Time and Trishy Time. Announcers said it would need to be approved by Nick Aldis.

Earlier in the show, Stratus was interviewed in the crowd and said she would be at Elimination Chamber in Toronto. Later, while Stratton was defending the WWE Women’s title against Nia Jax, the ref called for the bell after LeRae blatantly interfered in the match. The two teamed up on Stratton as Stratus attempted to make the save. However, she was laid out by Jax who squashed her in the corner.

As the segment ended, Charlotte Flair came to the ring and sat down on a chair next to a recovering Stratton. It was there that Flair announced she would be challenging Stratton at WrestleMania 41.

The first two wrestlers have qualified for the Elimination Chamber.

Liv Morgan and CM Punk won qualifying matches on Raw. This puts them in the upcoming Elimination Chamber matches that will take place on March 1 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Morgan won her qualifying match over IYO SKY by disqualification after Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley came out and attacked both Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, who was at ringside. Shortly before their match, Morgan jumped SKY backstage. When Ripley went to check on SKY, Rodriguez pushed her over a stage box.

Posted on by Ethan Renner

Qualifying matches for the Elimination Chamber PLE will continue on the February 10 edition of WWE Raw.

Two of six spots are currently filled for the men’s chamber match after John Cena declared for the bout at Saturday’s Royal Rumble press conference, plus CM Punk defeated Sami Zayn in this week’s Raw main event to qualify.

The winner of the men’s chamber match will challenge for whichever World title Rumble winner Jey Uso elects not to pursue.

John Cena says he’ll compete in WWE Elimination Chamber match

Posted on by Bryan Rose

John Cena is competing inside the Elimination Chamber.

During Saturday’s Royal Rumble post-show, Cena appeared in front of media, but said he wouldn’t be taking any questions, instead declaring for the Elimination Chamber on March 1 in Toronto. 

Cena explained that he hasn’t headlined a WrestleMania since 2013 as he has always done what is best for business. But now, he said that what is best for business is for him to win the Elimination Chamber. He officially declared he was going after his seventeenth world championship, which would break the record for most world titles held in WWE’s history. He said he was not doing this for himself, but for the person’s hand he will shake when they reach eighteen titles.

In the men’s Royal Rumble match, Cena was the last person eliminated from the match, being shoved off the apron to the floor by the match’s winner, Jey Uso.

Here are highlights from the rest of the press conference where Royal Rumble winners Charlotte Flair & Jey Uso as well as Triple H all took questions from the media.

Janel Grant’s amended lawsuit against Vince McMahon, WWE, and John Laurinaitis was not brought up.

Charlotte Flair

  • Denise Salcedo asked Flair about the highs and lows while recovering from her injury. Flair said this was the longest she’s ever been out, and felt she couldn’t go out this way. Seeing all the fans follow her injury updates inspired her to come back not just to win the Rumble, but to do it all over again. 
  • She was asked about the mental preperation of coming back after her injury. She did question what it would be like if she couldn’t be the Charlotte everyone expects. She said that was a hurdle she would have to overcome and said she going to work smarter, not harder.

Jey Uso

  • On his Royal Rumble win, Uso felt that WWE trusts him now and knows he won’t let them down. He told Cena that his time was now. 
  • When asked about who he was going to challenge, Uso said he looking at both champions. He didn’t confirm his choice, but did say he would like another crack at Gunther and knows that he could beat him.

Triple H

  • Triple H noted that Saturday’s show had an attendance of 70,347. However, the on-screen graphic showed 65,470. He also said this was the highest-gorssing Royal Rumble in history and drew the third largest gate in WWE history.
  • He credited Pat McAfee for tonight’s show, saying he is an integral part of who WWE is now.
  • He plugged WWE Evolve, which will premiere next month on Tubi. He said it will feature talent from WWE’s ID program. 
  • Responding to John Cena, Triple H says he’s earned the right to compete in the Elimination Chamber and Cena will put everything he has into paying back everyone who watched him during his run.
  • On being inducted into WWE Hall of Fame, he said he has talked to Nick Khan talked many times and Triple H always said he wasn’t going to put himself into the Hall of Fame, but if he had to, he wanted to wait a few years before doing it.
