WWE Elimination Chamber 2025: Stars Align for Ultimate Showdown

TORONTO, Canada — WWE‘s Elimination Chamber 2025 is set for March 1, packing high-stakes matches that will significantly impact WrestleMania‘s landscape. The last episode of Raw revealed changes to the card, yet the anticipation remains high with thrilling matchups ahead.

The men’s and women’s Elimination Chamber matches are the highlights, but the spotlight may also shine on Cody Rhodes as he contemplates The Rock‘s controversial offer to become the Corporate Champion. The stakes are escalating with the winners of both Elimination Chamber matches earning title opportunities at WrestleMania.

Following a decisive victory where Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez claimed the women’s tag-team championship against Bianca Belair and Naomi, the Raw episode did not shift the main event dynamics extremely but made headlines. Commentators suggest that the Elimination Chamber’s matches will run long, each expected to last between 30 to 40 minutes, while Owens and Zayn’s Unsanctioned match may stretch even longer.

Currently, Roman Reigns is absent from the card, leading to speculation about his potential involvement. Fans have been eager for Hikuleo’s arrival, but so far, there are no indications of his or his family’s presence, raising eyebrows given the Bloodline’s longstanding narrative significance.

As for the main event, Elimination Chamber marks the final opportunity for superstars to position themselves for a shot at the titles at WrestleMania 41. John Cena, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Damian Priest, and Seth Rollins will battle it out for a championship shot while Liv Morgan, Alexa Bliss, Bianca Belair, Bayley, Naomi, and Roxanne Perez will clash in the women’s match.

In a twist, The Rock’s recent challenge to Rhodes raises intriguing dynamics. After inviting Rhodes to sell his soul to become ‘his champion,’ tensions are building; Rhodes’ upcoming response will be pivotal. The Rock’s manipulation hints at a corporate angle, which could shift the title’s ownership and alignments within WWE’s hierarchy.

Moreover, the unsanctioned match between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn has drawn significant attention. Their relentless rivalry has escalated, leading to Zayn insisting on an official match, albeit with unsanctioned stipulations due to safety concerns from WWE officials. Their encounter promises to be explosive, as both wrestlers have a history filled with emotional and physical confrontations.

Additionally, the women’s card will see experienced competitors Trish Stratus and Tiffany Stratton face off against Nia Jax and Candice LeRae. Stratus will perform in front of her hometown crowd, adding personal stakes to the match.

The Elimination Chamber will commence at 7 p.m. ET and can be viewed on Peacock in the United States, while international fans will rely on Netflix for streaming. With the essence of unpredictability, fans are eagerly counting down to the wrestling spectacle featuring some of the biggest names in the industry.
