The highly anticipated WWE Elimination Chamber event is set to kick off on March 1, 2025, at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada, and it's bound to be a night filled with thrilling action as wrestling’s brightest stars compete for championship opportunities leading to WrestleMania 41. The event marks the second WWE Premium Live Event (PLE) streamed on Netflix, following the Royal Rumble held earlier this year.
The stakes are extraordinarily high at this year's Elimination Chamber, where the winners of the Men’s and Women’s Elimination Chamber matches will secure title shots at WrestleMania 41. This event not only includes the high-octane Chamber matches but also several other exciting bouts, including the return of Hall of Famer Trish Stratus and a confrontation between former friends turned bitter rivals, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.
Fans can expect electrifying encounters with two hard-fought Elimination Chamber matches marking the night. The men’s Chamber match features all star participants—John Cena, CM Punk, Seth “Freakin” Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, and Damian Priest—each vying for the coveted chance at the Undisputed WWE Title, currently held by Cody Rhodes. This match promises to be one of the most competitive of its kind, drawing upon the rich history between Cena and Punk, and the return of Logan Paul to the ring.
John Cena’s participation is particularly notable as this will be his final Elimination Chamber match before retiring, and he is aiming for one last shot at glory. His legacy as ‘The Face That Runs the Place’ is on the line with every match leading up to WrestleMania, making this bout his last chance to secure the title he has wrestled for over the years.
On the women’s side, the competition is equally fierce with six prominent superstars—Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Naomi, and Roxanne Perez—battling for their chance to challenge Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania. Liv Morgan recently won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, adding pressure to her performance as she seeks individual accolades this time around. Bianca Belair, Bayley, and Naomi are no slouches either, with each possessing the skill and experience to emerge victorious.
The unpredictability of the women’s Elimination Chamber match is matched only by the unsanctioned match between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. The storyline leading up to this bout has been intense, marked by personal conflict and betrayal. Owens previously sidelined Zayn with a vicious piledriver, igniting Zayn’s desire for revenge. General Manager Adam Pearce’s stipulation of making the match unsanctioned means there will be no rules or restrictions, allowing the two competitors to settle their score brutally.
Adding another layer of excitement, The Rock is scheduled to make a special appearance to demand answers from WWE Champion Cody Rhodes about The Rock’s vision for the company and whether Rhodes will align with him as ‘his champion.’ This narrative twist has fans buzzing with anticipation, and Rhodes' decision will undoubtedly impact the future direction of WWE.
With numerous title shots and personal vendettas on the line, the Elimination Chamber is set to deliver not only incredible matches but also significant storyline developments. This year's event will be one for the books as fans gear up to witness the central matches of the night:
- Men's Elimination Chamber Match: John Cena vs. CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Logan Paul vs. Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. Damian Priest
- Women's Elimination Chamber Match: Liv Morgan vs. Bianca Belair vs. Naomi vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley vs. Roxanne Perez
- Unsanctioned Match: Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn
- Tag Team Match: Tiffany Stratton & Trish Stratus vs. Nia Jax & Candice LeRae
