WWE

Two more WWE stars have now qualified for the 2026 Elimination Chamber matches coming up in Chicago on Feburary 28.

Tonight’s edition of SmackDown played host to more qualification matches – one for the women and one for the men.

Prior to tonight, the women already qualified were Tiffany Stratton and Rhea Ripley.

Joining them after tonight will be Alexa Bliss, who won her three-way qualifying match against Zelina and Giulia.

The winner of the women’s Elimination Chamber will challenge for either the Women’s World Championship against Stephanie Vaquer or the WWE Women’s Championship against Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42.

Royal Rumble winner Liv Morgan still has to decide which champion she wants to face, and the other champion will be the one the Chamber winner faces.

For the men, already qualified were Randy Orton and LA Knight.

Cody Rhodes vs Jacob Fatu vs Sami Zayn was tonight’s qualification match.

With WWE SmackDown still in progress as of this writing, the match has yet to take place – this story will be updated with the winner when it concludes.

UPDATE: Cody Rhodes picked up the win in the qualifier despite Drew McIntyre interfering and trying to stop both Rhodes and Fatu from winning.

The men’s Elimination Chamber winner will challenge Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania, as Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns has chosen to face World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk.
