A ticket to a WWE championship match at WrestleMania 41 is up for grabs. Who will take it?

Elimination Chamber 2025 takes place Saturday night in Canada, the final premium live event before WrestleMania 41 takes place in seven weeks. The night is highlighted by the men’s and women’s Elimination Chamber matches. In each contest, six contestants will enter the punishing steel structure and whoever emerges victorious will be in the main event matches at WWE’s grand event in April.

Two other matches will take place, including the next chapter in the long history between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, as well as the return of WWE Hall of Famer and hometown hero Trish Stratus. But the big moment likely isn’t a match; after The Rock asked for Cody Rhodes’ soul as Undisputed WWE Champion, the “American Nightmare” must make his decision as major WrestleMania implications are at stake. When the smoke settles inside Rogers Centre, the WrestleMania 41 picture will be much clearer.

Jordan Mendoza’s Elimination Chamber predictions

• Men’s Elimination Chamber match: A case could be made for nearly everyone in the match to win. While John Cena is the popular pick, CM Punk finally gets the WrestleMania main event and throws some more chaos in the Cody Rhodes-The Rock angle. Winner: CM Punk.
• Women’s Elimination Chamber match: No one wants to see Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan again, and Bianca Belair seems like a prime choice, but it feels like the wrench of the Jade Cargill mystery finally comes out and ruins her chance. I’m going with the dark horse in Alexa Bliss. She’s always been fantastic in the ring, and she brings her sinister side to thrust herself right into the title picture. Winner: Alexa Bliss.
• Tiffany Stratton and Trish Stratus vs. Nia Jax and Candice LeRae: There just isn’t a way the hometown star loses. Stratton and Stratus get the victory, but it feels like a Charlotte appearance is due. Winner: Tiffany Stratton and Trish Stratus.
• Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens: It’s gotten really dark between the longtime friends, and expect plenty of brutal spots between two with amazing in-ring chemistry. However, Owens snaps a cold streak to generate some momentum toward WrestleMania. Winner: Kevin Owens.

James H. Williams’ Elimination Chamber predictions

• Men’s Elimination Chamber match: It might be time for Punk to finally get his WrestleMania match. Winner: CM Punk.
• Women’s Elimination Chamber match: Bayley will be back on the WrestleMania main stage as the chamber winner. Bianca Belair would’ve been the pick to finally have a WrestleMania program with Rhea Ripley, but that might be on hold for another year. Winner: Bayley.
• Tiffany Stratton and Trish Stratus vs. Nia Jax and Candice LeRae: Trish and Tiffany get the job done. It would be a nice win for Trish in front of the hometown crowd. Winner: Stratton and Stratus.
• Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens: Kevin Owens is likely to be the aggressor and have his way against his former best friend. Winner: Kevin Owens.

How does the Elimination Chamber match work?

Introduced in 2002, the Elimination Chamber match puts six stars in an enclosed steel structure that surrounds the ring and the area right outside of it.

The match starts with two competitors, while the other four participants are locked in pods that are just outside of the ring. Every five minutes, a new competitor is randomly selected to be released from the pod and into the match. 

Since it’s an elimination match, competitors are only eliminated if they are pinned or submitted, as there are no disqualifications. Whoever is the last person remaining after everyone else has been eliminated at the end of the match is the winner. 

Saturday will be the 35th and 36th Elimination Chamber match in history. Since its inception, the match has been contested for a championship or a championship match at WrestleMania.
