  • Elimination Chamber: Late Surge in Final Betting Odds

    With WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 just hours away from Chicago\’s United Center, BetOnline has released its final betting lines — and the odds have shifted significantly since our initial odds breakdown earlier this week.

    The biggest move is in the Women\’s Elimination Chamber match, where Rhea Ripley has gone from a modest -155 favorite to a commanding -400. That means bettors would need to wager $400 just to win $100, reflecting near-certainty that Ripley will punch her ticket to face WWE Women\’s Champion Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42.

    Tiffany Stratton, who was nearly even money at +110 earlier in the week, has drifted to +120. Alexa Bliss sits at +550, Raquel Rodriguez at +700, Asuka at +2500, and Kiana James is the longest shot at +2800.

    BetOnline also posted prop odds on who will be the final two standing in the Women\’s Chamber. Ripley leads at -400, followed by Stratton at -250, Bliss at +150, Rodriguez at +175, Asuka at +525, and James at +1400. Outside interference in the women\’s match is heavily favored at -300, with \”No\” set at +200.

    Men\’s Elimination Chamber Odds Reshuffled After Logan Paul Entry

    The men\’s match saw a dramatic last-minute shakeup on Friday\’s SmackDown when Jey Uso was attacked by an unknown assailant and ruled out of the match. Logan Paul defeated Jacob Fatu — with an assist from Drew McIntyre — to claim the final spot.

    Cody Rhodes remains the heavy favorite at -400, with Randy Orton at +275 as the second most likely winner. LA Knight is listed at +425, while Trick Williams (+900), Je\’Von Evans (+1400), and the newly inserted Logan Paul are expected to round out the field.

    Rhodes and Orton are also overwhelming favorites to be the last two in the ring, at -2000 and -1000 respectively.

    Title Matches: Punk and AJ Lee Heavily Favored

    The World Heavyweight Championship match remains one of the most lopsided on the card. CM Punk (c) is listed at -5000 against Finn Bálor, who sits at +1200. For Punk, a retention in his hometown of Chicago feels almost like a foregone conclusion based on these numbers.

    In the WWE Women\’s Intercontinental Championship match, the final odds show AJ Lee as the favorite at -190 over champion Becky Lynch at +145. Lee is 2-0 against Lynch since returning from her decade-long retirement, and oddsmakers clearly expect the hometown star to complete the trilogy with a title win tonight.

  • Seth Rollins Goes All-In on Becky Lynch vs. AJ Lee: \’She\’s Got It Locked and Rocked\’

    Former World Champion Seth Rollins is currently sidelined with a shoulder injury, but he had plenty to say about the woman he believes will prove herself the greatest female wrestler of all time at WWE Elimination Chamber.

    Appearing on ESPN\’s Get Up alongside host Mike Greenberg, \’The Visionary\’ issued an unequivocal endorsement of his wife and WWE Women\’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch. Rollins spoke highly of his wife ahead of her Women\’s Intercontinental Championship defense against AJ Lee on Saturday in Chicago. He said:

    \”My wife is going to make sure the world knows who is the greatest female wrestler of all time — not just me saying it, other people saying it. The Man, Becky Lynch — big time Beck — she\’s the Intercontinental Champion. She has put that title on the map. She\’s gonna wipe the floor with AJ. This is AJ Lee\’s first singles match in a decade. In a decade. She doesn\’t stand a chance. My wife, she\’s got it locked and rocked, baby.\”

    Rollins Defends the Survivor Series Tap-Out

    The pointed prediction comes with context. At Wrestlepalooza in September last year, AJ Lee and CM Punk defeated Lynch and Rollins in a mixed tag team match, with Lynch tapping out to Lee in the closing moments. Greenberg brought up the submission, and Rollins delivered a characteristically colorful response. He explained:

    \”Tapping out — there was a lot going on. My wife said there\’s some insects in the ring. She said she wasn\’t really tapping out. Either way, tomorrow my wife is going to make sure the world knows who is the greatest female wrestler of all time.\”

    The rematch has been building since AJ Lee\’s return to WWE in September 2025. The match was made official on the February 9th episode of Raw, with Lee confronting Lynch and challenging her for the championship. Saturday marks Lee\’s first official singles match since March 2015, when she last competed against Nikki Bella.

    Lynch reclaimed the Women\’s Intercontinental Championship after previously losing it when AJ Lee\’s interference allowed Maxxine Dupri to pin her in November. Now she\’ll defend the title in front of a Chicago crowd that figures to be split as United Center is home turf for both Lee and her husband, CM Punk.

    WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 takes place Saturday, February 28th, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, streaming on the ESPN App at 7 PM ET.

  • Seth Rollins Backs Je\’Von Evans, Trick Williams as Elimination Chamber Dark Horses

    Former World Champion Seth Rollins isn\’t medically cleared to compete at Saturday\’s WWE Elimination Chamber. However, that hasn\’t stopped him from offering a bold prediction on who walks out of Chicago with a WrestleMania title shot.

    Appearing on ESPN\’s Get Up the morning before the event, Rollins ignored the obvious favorites and put his money on the new blood.

    \”It\’s tough to bet against the favorites. You mentioned guys like Cody Rhodes, guys like Randy Orton, people who\’ve been in there before. But to me, the wild cards are the guys who\’ve never been inside the structure. Someone like Je\’von Evans, someone like Trick Williams — this new blood, this fresh crop of young talent in WWE looking to punch their tickets. Sometimes those guys coming up, they\’re hungrier than the guys who\’ve been there before. So I\’m leaning towards the new guys. That\’s more fun for me.\”

    Rollins Explains the Stakes

    Rollins also took a moment to break down the format for casual sports fans watching the segment. He compared WrestleMania to every major American championship in one breath — the Super Bowl, the NCAA Finals, the NBA Finals, and the World Series — and framed the Chamber as the last-chance qualifier that earns a competitor a shot at immortality.

    The Men\’s Elimination Chamber field features Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, LA Knight, Jey Uso, Je\’Von Evans, and Trick Williams — with the winner earning a shot at Drew McIntyre\’s Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.

    Evans, earned his spot by pinning Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio on Raw. Williams qualified on SmackDown. Both are making their first-ever appearances inside the structure, which is exactly the angle Rollins is leaning into with his prediction.

    Rollins noted that Randy Orton, who enters the match with a record 10 Chamber appearances and Cody Rhodes represent the credentialed veterans, while Evans and Williams represent the hunger and desperation of competitors with everything to prove and nothing to lose.

    WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 takes place Saturday, February 28th, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, streaming on the ESPN App at 7 PM ET.

  • ESPN Unlimited Now Free for Xfinity Subscribers

    Xfinity subscribers can now authenticate on the ESPN app at the Unlimited tier, giving WWE fans access to the platform just in time for Saturday\’s Elimination Chamber premium live event.

    The rollout comes as WWE\’s second PLE of 2026 approaches, with authentication completing ahead of the marquee event. However, not all pay-TV providers are on the same timeline — YouTube TV subscribers are still waiting due to lingering technical work.

    Other providers are already up and running. Charter Spectrum, DirecTV Stream, Hulu Live, and Fubo have all completed the necessary authentication work and are fully active on the platform.

    YouTube TV subscribers hoping to watch WWE programming through the app are still without a firm launch date. YouTube TV access is expected this year, but that could be another 10 months away.

    For those unfamiliar with ESPN\’s tiered access structure, WWE premium live events are available at the ESPN Unlimited level. The lower ESPN Select tier is largely comprised of content previously available on ESPN+.

  • 8 Elimination Chamber Winners Who Lost at WrestleMania

    Winning an Elimination Chamber match is often seen as a guaranteed path to WrestleMania success. However, history shows that for some WWE Superstars, winning the Chamber only led to heartbreak on the grandest stage of them all.

    In reality, all it does it guarantee an opportunity.

    WrestleMania Losses After Elimination Chamber Wins

    In recent years, the stipulation has been that the winner of Elimination Chamber goes on to challenge the World champion who was not selected by that year\’s Royal Rumble winner. However, past Chamber matches have been for the championship itself.

    Here are eight Superstars who won an Elimination Chamber match but ultimately failed to leave WrestleMania with the gold.

    • In 2008, Edge won the World Heavyweight Championship at No Way Out (also known as Elimination Chamber 2008) but lost it at WrestleMania 24 to The Undertaker.
    • Randy Orton retained the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the 2014 Elimination Chamber but lost it at WrestleMania 30 to Daniel Bryan in a Triple Threat match.
    • Bray Wyatt won the WWE Championship in the 2017 Elimination Chamber but lost it at WrestleMania 33 to Randy Orton.
    • Alexa Bliss retained the Raw Women’s Championship in the 2018 Elimination Chamber but lost it at WrestleMania 34 to Nia Jax.
    • Daniel Bryan retained the WWE Championship in the 2019 Elimination Chamber but lost it at WrestleMania 35 to Kofi Kingston.
