The following matches are advertised for the WWE Elimination Chamber event that will be held on Saturday, March 1 in Toronto, Ontario at Rogers Centre.
-John Cena vs. CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Logan Paul vs. Damian Priest vs. one wrestler TBD in an Elimination Chamber match for a shot the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41
-Liv Morgan vs. Bianca Belair vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley vs. Naomi vs. one TBD in an Elimination Chamber match for a shot at the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 41
Powell’s POV: The remaining Elimination Chamber qualifying matches of Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor, and Roxanne Perez vs. Raquel Rodriguez will be held on Monday’s Raw. Kevin Owens challenged Sami Zayn to fight him at the Elimination Chamber event regardless of whether Zayn is medically cleared. Tiffany Stratton and Trish Stratus agreed to team at the Elimination Chamber, presumably against Nia Jax and Candice LeRae, but the match has not been officially announced as of this update.
Join me for my live review of the Elimination Chamber event beginning with pre-show notables or as the main show streams exclusively on Peacock in the United States and on Netflix internationally at 6CT/7ET. Jake Barnett and I will co-host a same night audio review will be available for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).
I am not really seeing any compelling match up with Rhea Ripley coming out of the Elimination Chamber. Morgan has been done to death. Belair and Naomi have another story to tell with Jade. Bayley is just cold. Bliss is not back up to speed yet. Perez/Rodriguez checks a box I guess, but neither of them should win. They have just booked Ripley too strong to have any legitimate challenger for the biggest show of the year. I think they messed up by not doing Ripley/Flair 3 and having Tiffany take on the EC winner.
