Two more WWE stars have officially qualified for the 2026 Elimination Chamber matches during tonight’s episode of Raw.

With the Elimination Chamber event coming up in Chicago on February 28, two more spots in the Chamber matches have been filled.

Ahead of tonight’s Raw, the names already qualified for the women’s Chamber match were Alexa Bliss, Tiffany Stratton and Rhea Ripley.

Raw played host to a three-way between Bayley, Asuka and Nattie to determine who would be the fourth confirmed participant.

It was Asuka who picked up the win by making Bayley tap out with the Asuka Lock.

The remaining qualifying matches – the first on this week’s SmackDown and next week’s Raw – are Kiana James vs Charlotte Flair vs Nia Jax, and Raquel Rodriguez vs IYO SKY vs Kairi Sane.

The winner will challenge either Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer or WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42 – Royal Rumble winner Liv Morgan has yet to decide which of them she’s choosing to face.

As for the men, already qualified pre-tonight were LA Knight, Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes.

Joining them is the winner of tonight’s qualifier between GUNTHER, Je’Von Evans and Dominik Mysterio.

That match took place as the main event of Raw and was won by Evans, who pinned Mysterio after GUNTHER was taken out by Dragon Lee, who is still looking to get revenge on GUNTHER for retiring AJ Styles.

The remaining qualifying matches after tonight will be Carmelo Hayes vs Trick Williams vs Damian Priest, and Bronson Reed vs Jey Uso vs The Original El Grande Americano (Chad Gable).

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