The final stop on the road to Wrestlemania 41 is the Elimination Chamber premium live event in Toronto, Canada. For the 37th time, the chain-linked steel structure will host two matches with the opportunity to Main Event Wrestlemania. The event will occur at the Rogers Centre on Saturday, March 1, 2025.
16-time WWE Champion John Cena will compete in his eighth and final Chamber match on Saturday. Cena has won the match three previous times, the second most in history behind Triple H. If Cena wins, he will join Triple H with the most victories.
CM Punk and Drew McIntyre have competed in the Elimination Chamber five times. McIntyre has won the match twice, while Punk has won it once. Seth Rollins has appeared in the match three times, while Logan Paul and Damien Priest have competed in it one time.
Although it’s not a match, arguably the most intriguing and important storyline is between Cody Rhodes and The Final Boss. Saturday night, another chapter will be added. The Rock appeared on Smackdown last Friday, offered Rhodes to be his champion, and said he wanted Rhodes’ soul. Will Rhodes sell his soul to the devil, or will he still be “The People’s Champion?”
How to Watch
This premium live event starts at 7 p.m. ET and will air on Peacock. The countdown show will begin at 5:00 p.m. ET on WWE’s YouTube Channel and Peacock.
Full Card and Predictions
Men’s Elimination Chamber Match
John Cena, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, and Damien Priest
To me, there are two legit contenders to win this match: Cena or Punk. Rhodes vs. Cena and Rhodes vs. Punk are the two biggest possible matches to headline Wrestlemania 41 in Las Vegas. Although all three are good guys, those matchups could work even if Rhodes doesn’t turn heel.
Although Punk would be a great option to win his second Chamber match, the story of Cena winning his 17th WWE Championship is the No. 1 story. A renewed rivalry between Cena and The Final Boss would be excellent, especially if Rhodes turns to the dark side and joins the Rock.
Prediction: John Cena wins his fourth Chamber match
Women’s Elimination Chamber Match
Bayley, Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair, Naomi, Roxxane Perez, and Alexa Bliss
As I said, the men’s Chamber match has two clear-cut options, but that isn’t the case with the Women’s match. Yes, the story between Morgan and Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley ended at the Raw on Netflix debut. But renewing that storied rivalry might be an excellent option for Ripley at Wrestlemania 41.
Belair is the second-best option to win the Women’s Chamber match. She is a former Women’s WWE champion and tag-team champion. Ripley and Belair would be one of the best women’s matches of the year, as both possess elite athleticism.
Prediction: Liv Morgan wins the Chamber with help from Raquel Rodriguez
Women’s Tag Team Match
Tiffany Stratton & Trish Stratus vs. Nia Jax & Candance LaRae
Stratton will team with the Canadian legend Stratus in a tag-team match. Stratus appeared in the 2025 Rumble match but hasn’t wrestled twice in a year since 2023. Stratton continues to become a bigger superstar in his first reign as champion, and it would be shocking if they didn’t win this match.
Prediction: Tiffany Stratton & Trish Stratus get the victory
Unsanctioned match
Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn
Two long-time friends will battle once again on Saturday night. Owens hit Zayn with his signature piledriver a few weeks ago to renew their rivalry. This matchup has been one-sided in the WWE lately, as Zayn has only beaten Owens once in their last 10 one-on-one matches.
Owens and Zayn won the Undisputed WWE Tag Team titles in the main event at Wrestlemania 39. Zayn beat Gunther for the Intercontinental title at Wrestlemania 40, but he hasn’t found much success since then. Owens is coming off an incredible feud with Rhodes but Zayn needs the victory more right now.
It has been nearly four months since Owens injured Randy Orton. With Mania quickly approaching, Orton needs to get back in the mix, and this is a perfect opportunity.
Prediction: Randy Orton comes out to get payback on Owens as Zayn wins the match
Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes gives the Final Boss an Answer
Do I believe Cody will turn heel in his career? Yes. But now isn’t the right time. He has been WWE Undisputed Champion for under a year and is the most popular superstar in the company.
But this will be another chapter in the long-term story between The Final Boss and Rhodes. I believe The Rock will make various appearances on the road to Wrestlemania 41 and will continue to tempt Rhodes to join him.
Prediction: Cody declines his offer
