The event takes place on Saturday at United Center in Chicago. Six men and six women will enter the Elimination Chamber, with the winners of the men’s and women’s matches earning their shot at a world title. (wild, right?)

With men’s Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns already choosing world heavyweight champion CM Punk and women’s winner Liv Morgan selecting women’s world champion Stephanie Vaquer, that leaves WWE champion Drew McIntyre and WWE women’s champion Jade Cargill for the Elimination Chamber winners.

The Details

The men’s match got a late swerve on the final SmackDown before the event. Jey Uso, who earned a spot in the match with a win on Monday over Bronson Reed and El Grande Americano, was taken out backstage assailant.

That led SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis to book an impromptu match between Jacob Fatu and Logan Paul for the final spot in the Chamber, which Paul clutched with some outside assistance. Also on Saturday, CM Punk will put his world heavyweight championship on the line against Finn Balor.

Why This Matters

The pair put on an epic match in Balor’s home country of Ireland earlier this month. Balor has demanded a rematch after coming up short and if successful, he would take Punk’s main event spot at WrestleMania 42 against Roman Reigns. Plus, Punk’s wife, AJ Lee will wrestle her first singles match in over a decade when she takes on Becky Lynch for the women’s intercontinental championship.

Players and coaches will be watching how this unfolds closely.

Key Takeaways

• Lee teamed with Punk against Rollins and Lynch last year in Lee’s first match back with the company.
• Now, she looks for her first singles win since 2015.

The Bottom Line

Lee teamed with Punk against Rollins and Lynch last year in Lee’s first match back with the company. Now, she looks for her first singles win since 2015.
