WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 card
Becky Lynch (c) vs. AJ Lee for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship
WWE’s official preview:
At WWE Elimination Chamber, Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch will defend her title against AJ Lee.
Lee returned to WWE for the first time in a decade to help her husband CM Punk defeat Lynch and her husband Seth Rollins at Wrestlepalooza.
Lee later returned to distract Lynch and cause her to lose the Women’s Intercontinental Title to Maxxine Dupri on Raw. Then, at Survivor Series: WarGames, Lee clinched the win for her team by making Lynch tap out to the Black Widow.
The Man since reclaimed the championship from Dupri in a controversial victory. When Lee showed up on the Feb. 9 edition of Raw, however, the outraged titleholder challenged her to a match at WWE Elimination Chamber in order to get payback.
CM Punk (c) vs. Finn Bálor for the World Heavyweight Championship
WWE’s official preview:
CM Punk will defend the World Heavyweight Title against Finn Bálor of The Judgment Day at WWE Elimination Chamber.
After leaving The Judgment Day in the backstage area, Bálor lost an incredible World Title Match against Punk on Raw in Belfast, with The Second City Saint raising the challenger’s arm after the bout.
When he was denied entry into the Royal Rumble Match, though, Bálor attacked Punk to keep himself in title contention. In a war of words on the Feb. 9 edition of Raw, Punk asked General Manager Adam Pearce to give Bálor a championship rematch at WWE Elimination Chamber.
The title fight will occur after 2026 Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns declared that he would challenge Punk for the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania.
Kiana James vs. Asuka vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Tiffany Stratton (Elimination Chamber Match)
WWE’s official preview:
Six Superstars will collide inside the Elimination Chamber to secure a championship match at WrestleMania.
After returning from injury at Royal Rumble, Tiffany Stratton became the first Superstar to qualify for the Chamber by winning a Triple Threat Match against Chelsea Green and Lash Legend on SmackDown.
Rhea Ripley took down Lyra Valkyria and Ivy Nile to secure the second spot in the Chamber.
Alexa Bliss defeated Women’s United States Champion Giulia and Zelina to secure her berth.
Asuka took down Bayley and Nattie to earn her place in the Chamber.
Kiana James upset Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax to take her spot in the dreaded structure.
Raquel Rodriguez secured the last spot by taking down IYO SKY and Kairi Sane.
The Elimination Chamber Match will begin with two Superstars in the ring and four other competitors enclosed in their respective pods. At equally timed intervals, a pod door will open, allowing another competitor to join the bout.
This process will continue until all pods are empty. When a Superstar is pinned or submits, that Superstar is eliminated and must exit the Chamber. The last Superstar remaining will be the winner.
