WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 will be the final premium live event ahead of WrestleMania 42 in April.
Considering this show will be a major stop on the road to Mania, there may be some significant returns during the course of this PLE.
From injured talent making a comeback to living legends making their grand return, Elimination Chamber could become another memorable show that sets the stage for “The Show of Shows” in a meaningful way.
Here are six potential returns at WWE Elimination Chamber 2026.
6. JD McDonagh

On the February 2 edition of WWE Raw, Dominik Mysterio made his return to the company for the first time in almost two months from a shoulder injury.
With “Dirty Dom” back on WWE TV, there is one other Judgment Day member that is still on the sidelines and that is JD McDonagh.
McDonagh underwent hand surgery in December 2025 that has him out of action to recover.
Making a return at WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 could see McDonagh helping Finn Balor in his potential World Heavyweight Championship match against CM Punk at the premium live event.
