00:00The following is the Women's Elimination Chamber Match!
00:08Two superstars start in the ring.
00:12Four superstars in individual pods.
00:16A random pod door opens at regularly scheduled intervals until all pods are empty.
00:25Superstars are eliminated by pinfall or submission.
00:31The last superstar standing will be declared the winner and
00:36go on to challenge the WWE Women's Champion,
00:42Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42.
00:55.
01:06.
01:14.
01:23Introducing first, from Columbus, Ohio, Alexa Bliss.
01:31Alexa Bliss will enter the Elimination Chamber for the fourth time in her career.
01:37Second all-time to Liv Morgan, who is at six on the women's side of things.
01:44Alexa Bliss knows what it takes to win the Chamber.
01:47She won the inaugural Women's Chamber match back in 2018.
01:51Yeah, here's a woman with an all-timer resume who has been mainly focused on tag action in recent months.
01:58But looking to get back to the very top.
02:01It has been a long time since Alexa Bliss has held World Championship gold.
02:06She gets one step closer tonight with victory inside the Chamber.
02:10Highly decorated with four world champs, five world championships in her career, four tag team titles.
02:17And she will be locked inside a pod, inside the Chamber, to start off this matchup here tonight.
02:24Helgen, everybody, at ringside, I'm Michael Cole, he's Wade Barrett.
02:27We're in the final PLE stop before WrestleMania.
02:30Yeah, this entire arena is now vibrating.
02:33It's not just the music, it is the energy of this audience.
02:37And trust me, the vibrations in the locker room are massive.
02:40This is a huge step towards making your dreams come true at WrestleMania.
02:44The winner of this Chamber match tonight will head to WrestleMania to take on Jade Cargill for the WWE Championship.
02:53Jade Cargill, we understand, is in attendance here tonight at the United Center in Chicago among the 19,000 plus.
03:01She's looking on.
03:03She will learn in a matter of moments who she will face at WrestleMania.
03:10WrestleMania.
03:28The awe-striking presence of the Storm.
03:37Referee Eddie Arango will shut the pod door.
03:41Alexa Bliss locked inside to it.
03:44Until it's her turn.
04:17Next, from Osaka, Japan, she is one-half of the Kabuki Warriors, Asuka!
04:27Another woman who has massive experience inside the Chamber, her third Chamber match here tonight.
04:32She won back in 2023, which would earn her a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania.
04:40Way to the history of Elimination Chamber.
04:43Only one woman has won this match twice.
04:45That was Bianca Belair.
04:47Alexa Bliss, Asuka have an opportunity to tie her tonight.
04:50Well, nobody's doubting the pedigree of either woman.
04:54And I don't know if the Elimination Chamber is ready for Asuka.
04:58But Asuka is certainly ready for the Chamber.
05:00And indeed, Alexa Bliss.
05:02All in the way.
05:18Here we are.
05:20Here we are.
05:20Here we are.
05:21Here we are.
05:21Here we are.
05:22Here we go.
05:22One day we are in the auxiliary also.
05:28Here we go.
05:30Here we are.
05:31Here we go.
05:32Aberta has been realized.
05:51Next, from Rio Grande, Raleigh, Texas,
05:55representing the Judgment Day, Raquel Rodriguez.
06:02For the 13th of Raleigh,
06:02in her career, Raquel Rodriguez steps inside Elimination Chamber.
06:07And this is a big night here tonight for the Judgment Day.
06:11We know that Liv Morgan, the winner of the Women's Oil Rumbleweight,
06:14will challenge Stephanie Bacare at WrestleMania for the world title.
06:18Raquel Rodriguez wins tonight.
06:20Another member of Judgment Day will challenge for a championship,
06:24the WWE title at WrestleMania.
06:26Well, this is the Judgment Day, getting back to what they do best.
06:30Ever since Liv Morgan's return, all members exclusively focused on the acquisition
06:35of gold and they can't make it at all.
06:37Judgment Day affair at WrestleMania at the top of the women's card.
06:53And the way she's been going, nothing may stop Raquel tonight.
07:07And the way she will beцуble,
07:16Well, this is my future plan!
07:20Yes!
07:21Yep!
07:22Yes!
07:47Rhea Ripley
07:51I've said this before and I'm gonna say it again.
07:54Google the word superstar and Rhea Ripley's image will appear.
08:00Ripley Wade looking to win this match tonight and earn her fifth world championship match.
08:07Five of them at WrestleMania.
08:09Yeah, it's been a dreadful 24 hours for Rhea Ripley.
08:14Just 24 hours ago, Louisville, Kentucky for SmackDown.
08:16Rhea Ripley and Io Sky lost the Women's Tag Team Championships to the irresistible forces.
08:23And Rhea Ripley undoubtedly physically beat up now and perhaps with the loss of gold mentally too.
08:30Yeah, I was gonna say, how does last night's loss?
08:33And she got pinned in that match by Last Legend.
08:35How does last night's loss affect Rhea coming into tonight?
08:39It just ramps that pressure up.
08:41Rhea Ripley needs a marquee championship match at WrestleMania.
08:44She would have had that with Tag Gold.
08:47That's gone now.
08:47If Ripley does not win this match, she will not be having a marquee match at WrestleMania this year.
08:55And that is unthinkable.
08:58As Rhea Ripley tours the pod, she will be the fourth woman locked inside the pods here tonight.
09:04We now know the next two women will actually start the Elimination Chamber.
09:20Wade, you have been in three Chamber matches in your career.
09:24Don't remind me.
09:25How intimidating is that to have one of the superstars walk up to you, go face to face while you're
09:30in the pod?
09:31You know what?
09:31As long as I was locked in the safety of the pod, I didn't mind so much.
09:35It was when that pod opened.
09:36I was surrounded by steel everywhere I looked.
09:40And ravenous-looking competitors looking to end my career as quickly as they could
09:45in order to book their ticket to WrestleMania or a championship, whatever it may have been.
09:50But for now, these four women have got lucky.
09:53The next two, not so much.
10:12Making her way to the ring from Sioux City, Iowa, Kiana James.
10:21Wade, you and I have been touting the attributes of Kiana James for a number of months now.
10:27It's been an incredible couple of months for Kiana back at the Royal Rumble.
10:31She lasted almost 30 minutes in the Rumble match.
10:34And then, of course, one of the biggest upsets, I believe, in SmackDown history, when she knocked off Nia Jax
10:40and Charlotte Flair, pitting the Queen to qualify tonight.
10:43Yeah, not everybody gets handed the same opportunity right off the bat when it comes to WWE.
10:50Kiana has had to make meals out of crumbs at times, but she's more than done that.
10:55She's blown people's minds, shocked the world when, as you mentioned, she defeated Charlotte and Nia to qualify for this.
11:02The truth is, Kiana James is flying under the radar in this match.
11:06None of the other five competitors are focused on Kiana James.
11:10Kiana wants to shock the world.
11:12She's in exactly the right place to do just that.
11:16Although, she's gonna have to do it the hard way from the very start of this match.
11:21Kiana's rise in WWE was sidetracked with a very serious knee injury.
11:25Cost her over a year of her career.
11:27She told Yahoo Sports in an exclusive interview that she, well, wants to come back stronger than ever.
11:341% better in the ring every single day has helped her develop a mental toughness in that brick-by
11:42-brick approach to get better.
11:44What an opportunity for the woman who you claim will fly under the radar tonight.
11:49Yeah, as smart as they come, Kiana James knows the secret to success in this game is a competitive edge.
11:56And that mega brain of Kiana James has done her a real solid in a run on SmackDown so far.
12:03Can it launch her all the way to WrestleMania?
12:15It's Tiffy time!
12:32It's Tiffy time!
12:35And from Prior Lake, Minnesota, Tiffany Stratton!
12:41Tiffany Stratton beat Chelsea Green in Last Legend to qualify for tonight.
12:45It's her second Chamber match in her career.
12:47Last year at the Chamber, she had a career highlight, she told me earlier today.
12:51That was the night she tagged with the Hall of Famer, the legendary Trish Stratus in Toronto.
12:56Ooh, well, 2025 as a whole was an absolute banner year for Tiffany Stratton all the way up until she
13:05lost her Women's WWE Championship to one Jade Cargill.
13:10Now, she got injured in the process of that loss and has been desperate to get a rematch with Cargill
13:16ever since.
13:17It's a real simple process.
13:19You just have to win the Chamber from the very start, Tiffy.
13:23Then you get your day with Destiny with Jade Cargill.
13:26One note on the number two entry mark for Kiana James in this matchup.
13:31Number two, the least amount of wins in Elimination Chamber match history.
13:36Just three wins over the 24-year history of the Chamber.
13:41So, the matchup starts with two women in the ring.
13:43At regular intervals, pods will open, another woman will enter the fray.
13:48This is an elimination match.
13:49Once you lose, either pinned or submitted, you gotta head back to the locker room.
13:54The last woman standing goes to Wrestlemania.
14:00And we're underway.
14:04Referee Dan Engler calling for the bell.
14:07He'll work the matchup inside the ring.
14:09Outside, a number of officials will guard the pods, open the pods when it is necessary.
14:14So, James and Tiffany Stratton, wait, what type of strategy do you use when you start this matchup off?
14:19Well, you've mentioned we've got some veterans in there who experienced the Chamber before.
14:22We also have some others, such as Kiana James, who have not.
14:26But Kiana James is in for a massive shock imminently once she tastes that steal for the very first time.
14:33Nothing can prepare you for it.
14:35My advice at this point is stay as far away from the outside of this ring for as long as
14:41you possibly can.
14:42My estimation, Kiana James is playing with house money tonight.
14:45Not really a lot to lose here, but a perfect opportunity and a nice headlock takedown by Stratton.
14:51See, I actually disagree with you there.
14:53You have a lot to lose in the Chamber, regardless of the results.
14:56When it comes to your health and longevity of your career, this is such a dangerous situation to be in.
15:02Although I do agree, this is not where Kiana James expected to be right now.
15:06Now, she just needs to execute.
15:09Both of these women are highly decorated gymnasts in their college days.
15:15Brought that athleticism here to WWE.
15:19And I know Tiffany wants to get into a test of strength with Kiana James.
15:22I'll tell you right now, there is a level of disrespect being thrown at Kiana James from the entire women's
15:27locker room.
15:28And I think after tonight, those who have not been paying attention will suddenly gain a lot more respect for
15:36Little Miss Smarty Pants here.
15:37Oh, what a nice start.
15:38You know, we talked about it earlier today.
15:40The chip, the massive chip on the shoulder of Kiana James.
15:44It's a very valuable thing to have at this level.
15:47Here we go.
15:48Only a one count.
15:50Would have been nice to put Tiffany away there.
15:53Have a little rest till the next pod opens.
15:55Get yourself as fresh as you can because four more women are going to be consecutively introduced into this match.
16:02Each one fresher than the last.
16:03I think it also drives Kiana James the fact that for a lot of her career, she's been overlooked by
16:08her buddy, Julia.
16:09Oh, and a nice basement dropkick by Stratt.
16:11Into the cover.
16:12Hooks the leg.
16:13Going to kick out at two.
16:14Well, she's done a hell of a job for Julia so far as her official representative.
16:19Led Julia to a couple of championships already here on SmackDown.
16:24And that's standing food salt by Kiana James.
16:26Covered on Stratt and a kick out.
16:29The word is certainly out too about Kiana James now.
16:32And the taste for gold has spread around Julia and Kiana.
16:38And that is an addictive thing to have.
16:41Man, they could have a whole lot of gold come WrestleMania.
16:44See Tiffany in the ring.
16:45She battled Kairi Sane 24 hours ago.
16:48Masterclass put on by Asuka who originally accepted Tiffany Stratt's challenge.
16:52Yeah, you've got to be absolutely insane to accept a match 24 hours before a massive battle like this.
16:58Well, certainly Tiffany did on the basis that a fellow opponent in Asuka was going to.
17:02And then a last minute switcheroo changed that to Kairi Sane.
17:05So fresh is a daisy as Asuka.
17:07Whereas pre-beaten up perhaps is Tiffany Stratton despite getting the victory yesterday.
17:13Yeah, and then she had to start the match up off as well.
17:16And Kiana now tossing Stratton outside the ropes.
17:19Again, there are no disqualifications.
17:20Obviously no countouts in this match.
17:22This is the danger zone right now.
17:24As soon as you leave the inside of those ropes, there is steel, metal everywhere you look.
17:29And there is no part of the human body that likes being introduced to cold, hard steel.
17:34Kiana looking for a suplex buck three times now by Tiffany who delivers one of her own.
17:39And you see the back buckle of Kiana.
17:41What does that feel like?
17:42Well, that is a certain regret now coursing through the veins of Kiana.
17:47Whatever strategy she had to take down, Tiffany Stratton has backfired in the worst way.
17:52And welcome to the chamber.
17:53Oh!
17:54And Kiana rolled out of harm's way and Tiffany head first into the pod as Raquel Rodriguez laughs at her.
18:01Oh man, you see all that gymnastic ability.
18:04But it backfired there in a big way.
18:06Blasting hard against that chamber in the lower back of Tiffany Stratton.
18:10There's a bad, bad way.
18:12And there's a big mommy cool like the look of that.
18:14And Wade, the thing about the chamber is sometimes you have to change your game.
18:18You've got to change your offense a little bit.
18:19You can't go back to the well with the things that have brought you there
18:22because it can get you in trouble like we saw there.
18:26Who will enter the chamber next?
18:28Four, three, two, one.
18:36The Empress of Tomorrow.
18:39Asuka waiting for the door to open.
18:41And comes to Kiana James with a preemptive strike driving Asuka to the pod.
18:46Well, absolutely ball rushing Asuka.
18:48Knowing full well that Asuka is one of the biggest threats in this match.
18:51Kiana James smart enough to stop Asuka getting out of the blocks, but it simply didn't last.
18:57Goodness, look at this.
18:58Just pounding, bouncing Kiana James off the pod.
19:03Yeah, and this goes back to what you were talking about moments ago about strategies
19:06and how you have to change them.
19:07This is the point Kiana James changes strategy because she can't remember the strategy
19:12that she came in with.
19:13And now Tiffany strapped, driven into the pod by Asuka, who's been relentless in her
19:18attack since coming into the chamber.
19:20God, uncaged, unleashed, and wreaking havoc inside the elimination chamber.
19:26Two for the price of one, now the Empress of Tomorrow.
19:29Closed line followed by a bulldog, and Wade, we've said this on a number of occasions.
19:32Asuka, one of the most dangerous women in WWE.
19:35Well, no doubt about it, there is nothing this woman cannot do in there.
19:39Everything this woman hits is hit with authority.
19:43And there is a certain demented look in the eye of Asuka now,
19:46who is loving the carnage she can exact inside the chamber.
19:50A four-time world champion, she's won five tag titles tied with Raquel for the most ever.
19:55We mentioned she won a chamber three years ago.
19:58And now the Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka, with a double missile dropkick to take out James
20:02and Shrek.
20:03Cover now on Kiana, and a kick out by James.
20:06Now a cover on Stratton by Asuka, and a kick out by Tiffany.
20:09So fantastic start here from Asuka, taking down two opponents who were obviously pre-weakened
20:14as they started the match before Asuka did.
20:16Here's the issue, Asuka has just burned up a ton of energy, staying in control of this
20:22match, and eventually that might come back to bite her in the latter stages.
20:26And you know Asuka beat a couple of legends to actually qualify.
20:30Bayley and Natty, knocked off by Asuka, earn her the opportunity tonight.
20:35He just tells you that Asuka really is firing on all cylinders as the best always do this
20:40time of year as we close in on WrestleMania.
20:42And now Tiffany Stratton, and that handspring, back elbow, and on the other side.
20:51Big knee by Asuka, connects into the cover, is in and up on Tiffany,
20:55who just gets the shoulder up.
20:57Just shows you the experience of Asuka then,
20:59when on a tear was Tiffany Stratton, just lying in wait, ready to pounce.
21:04The fourth member of the chamber will enter.
21:07Six, five, four, three, two, one.
21:17Little miss Bliss, and look at the look, the disturbing look, on the face of the winner
21:24of the inaugural chamber match for the women.
21:26It is not a look anybody should ever have on their face, stepping into the carnage that
21:32is the elimination chamber.
21:34Bliss knocking off Julia and Zelina to qualify for this match tonight.
21:39That was a sinister and ominous presence surrounding Alexa Bliss.
21:44And right off the bat, dropping the entire field.
21:49Keep your eyes peeled, threats everywhere you look, Bliss.
21:52The fact that Alexa's in this match, and her friend Charlotte Flair is not really as
21:56depressed Charlotte.
21:58Yeah, she says she's fine.
21:59I do know for a fact, when a woman tells you that, she is never fine.
22:03Don't fall for that trap.
22:04Charlotte Flair very unhappy about missing out on the chamber.
22:07And Tiffany Stratton with a rolling sent time, showing off her power here.
22:11Gonna head up to the top rope, looking for the prettiest moonsault ever,
22:14but Alexa Bliss intercepted.
22:17It was a rough, rough landing, and Tiffany Stratton's been in this match a long time already,
22:21and the tall starting to show, movement not quite as crisp as it was in the early goings.
22:26And that drop kick to the gut will not help.
22:29Now Asuka stalking Alexa Bliss, looking for a German suplex.
22:32Alexa, able to deliver a back elbow.
22:41Oh, and a big knee by James.
22:44Bliss rolls her up, trying to take advantage.
22:47Bliss seems to have almost extrasensory perception on that one, and wait a second.
22:53I don't know about Kiana breaking that pin up, may have been a little inexperience there.
22:58You kind of want to eliminate opponents any way you can at this point.
23:02Yeah, a bit overzealous perhaps, but Kiana James has looked great so far in the chamber.
23:07Absolutely superb, and now looking completely dominant with three bodies dropped around her.
23:12Two fresh bodies waiting to enter the match imminently.
23:17And bounced off the steel as Stratton.
23:21Two miles of chain link surround this structure.
23:26And now James looking to catapult Stratton.
23:33Into the pod!
23:35Face first, getting completely wiped out his Stratton.
23:39Let's take another look at this slingshot right into that glass and steel.
23:46Just bouncing off skull first.
23:49What an epic display it's been thus far from Kiana James.
23:52But no time to rest, no time to relax.
23:55That's number five going to enter the chamber.
23:58More wins than any other number.
23:59Number five, nine wins in the history of the chamber.
24:02So a lucky spot here.
24:07For the eradicator, Rhea Ripley!
24:11Oh, and Kiana James tried her best to rush her just as she did.
24:15Asuka simply didn't work.
24:17Clearly Ripley was waiting for it.
24:18Yeah, Rhea's had issues with Kiana, issues with Asuka.
24:22There's so many of these women have had issues in the tag division over on SmackDown,
24:27including the two in the ring right now.
24:30Asuka face first.
24:32Stratton now runs into a head butt by Ripley.
24:34If Ripley had any war wounds from last night, losing tag gold to the Irresistible Forces,
24:39it's not showing.
24:42Rhea Ripley who knocked off Lyra, Valkyria, and Ivy Nile to qualify tonight.
24:47Now turns her attention to Alexa Bliss.
24:54Look at this!
24:57Just pure power from Ripley.
25:00It's hard to argue with that, but navigating her way out again.
25:03And Alexa Bliss, looking perhaps for Sister Abigail here.
25:09And Rhea turns it around.
25:11Rhea having to be very, very nimble here, and straight back to power!
25:15Looking for Riptide, Bliss still able to...
25:18Oh, you can just read the panic on the body of Alexa Bliss there,
25:22as she wriggled out of that Riptide attempt,
25:24but it might be about to get it worse now on the steel!
25:28Bliss does not want to be out there.
25:30Rhea Ripley Bliss now trying to hang on,
25:32trying to hang on to the chamber, trying to protect herself.
25:34The smart use of the chains there, clinging on for DLI at this point,
25:38but getting higher and higher, and a drop from there was not...
25:41Oh!
25:41And Kiana driving Ripley back first into the steel.
25:45Oscar went for the hippotap, Tiffany Stratton with a drop kick to Oscar,
25:48drops her outside.
25:50Kiana James once again lying in wait and finding the exact right moment to strike.
25:59All four women on the steel outside the ring.
26:07Uh-oh.
26:09Alexa Bliss has found herself on top of a pod, and Bliss!
26:16Oh, God, Twisted Bliss from the top of the pod takes down everyone!
26:23Take another look at that!
26:26Kiana James maybe avoided the worst of that one, but three women completely wiped out
26:32with one high-risk move, and has it taken something out of Alexa Bliss in the process?
26:38Raquel Rodriguez, who will join this fray momentarily, has to be licking her chops,
26:44Wade, as these five women beat each other up.
26:47Man, when you see carnage like that right in front of your eyes, now is the time to start
26:52thinning the herd in this Elimination Chamber match.
26:55And no eliminations thus far.
26:58Kiana James caught, looking for Sister Abigail, for Alexa Bliss,
27:03pointing to the WrestleMania sign, and a missed! A missed by Asuka to Bliss!
27:09Kiana rolls her up! Kiana eliminates Bliss!
27:14Alexa Bliss has been eliminated!
27:17And the miss is legal, no disqualifications inside the chamber.
27:21And Bliss is gonna have to leave the chamber, we are down to five.
27:26And Raquel Rodriguez, ten seconds away, from entering her third Elimination Chamber,
27:33with an opportunity to face Jade Cargill, for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, up for grabs!
27:43And Raquel, the powerhouse of the Judgment Day, just catching Tiffany Stratton,
27:50and a baseball swing into the side of the cage.
27:52The strongest woman in the match, the baddest woman in the match, the freshest woman in the match!
28:00You know, you talked about Kiana James, and the number of months that she's had here,
28:05what about Raquel Rodriguez, really coming of age for Raquel?
28:08Oh, and Rhea Ripley hung up on the top rope!
28:11Oh God, Raquel stepped up absolutely huge, when Liv Morgan went down with injury in the Judgment Day,
28:17about 12 months ago, and Raquel has not locked back.
28:20Get yourself all the way to WrestleMania, but wait up here!
28:24Yeah, smart strategy by Kiana, Asuka, and Tiffany, well, it was smart strategy, I thought.
28:28Now, Rhea Ripley!
28:30It was the right idea, very difficult to tear down someone as powerful as Raquel,
28:35but slowly teamwork seems to get the job done, oh God!
28:38Who the hell can manhandle Rhea bloody Ripley like that?
28:43Raquel treating Ripley and now Asuka like ragdolls, and Kiana James sent into the steel!
28:50Raquel Rodriguez, a human demolition ball, and now Rhea Ripley with a big forearm.
28:59Raquel just a woman who nobody in the locker room can physically dominate.
29:03Oh, look at this!
29:04And that is just ludicrous, Raquel.
29:07Rhea Ripley is going for the, oh, Hurricane Rana!
29:11Caught by Raquel and now tossed into the ring!
29:14Those are two women who know each other so, so well at NXT.
29:19They were best buds and training partners.
29:21However, two alpha females do not get on for long.
29:25Eventually that imploded, just like the spine of Rhea Ripley and now the head perhaps of Tiffany Stratton.
29:32And now Asuka trying to drive a Raquel Rodriguez into the steel.
29:36Quick strikes by the Empress of Tomorrow.
29:38And every woman in this match outside of Raquel needs to get on the same page.
29:42You cannot give Raquel any breathing room.
29:44She's gonna cut through you all like a hot knife through butter.
29:48Well, that's a fall away slam sending Asuka into the ring.
29:52And now Keanu James driving Raquel into the steel.
29:56And now caught in a pod.
29:58Again, once Raquel drops her guard, you have to bounce.
30:02Someone needs to be waiting.
30:04Raquel is gonna take this like candy from a baby if you don't.
30:07And now a running power slam through the pod!
30:12Bulldog would be happy!
30:20The broken body of Keanu James now ripe for the pickings.
30:26Raquel has done the damage.
30:28And now Raquel catching Asuka.
30:31It interrupts Tehanobar Modified.
30:34Stacking up both women.
30:36Raquel eliminates James and Asuka.
30:40Asuka and Keanu James have been eliminated.
30:49Well, take a look at this.
30:51Keanu James getting smashed through one of the pods by Raquel with absolute ease.
30:58And that is a body just waiting to be pinned.
31:02But before she could get there, Asuka had other ideas.
31:05Not tonight, Tehanobar, two for the price of one for Raquel,
31:11who is starting to steamroller towards WrestleMania.
31:14We are now down to three.
31:16One of these women going to Las Vegas in seven weeks to face Jade Cargill for
31:21the WWE title.
31:22Will it be Tiffany Stratton?
31:24Will it be Rhea Ripley?
31:25Will it be Raquel Rodriguez?
31:27High stakes, high pressure here tonight.
31:29And let's not forget that Tiffany Stratton has been in this thing from the very
31:33beginning to relatively fresher women in there with her.
31:37But Tiffany Stratton has the movement to avoid the worst of the damage and try and
31:42put this to bed.
31:43But no, that's not going to work.
31:45Yeah, Tiffany may want to change things up instead of trying to overpower Raquel Rodriguez,
31:50who delivers that twirling slam to Stratton.
31:56Tiffany gets the shoulder up at two.
31:58Here's part of the problem when it comes to Tiffany Stratton.
32:00This deep in the matchup, you simply are working off instincts, not strategy now.
32:05And some of the things you're looking to do,
32:07your body is not going to cooperate with you on them because you are too beaten up.
32:11Now Ripley sent into the steel.
32:13This is just barbaric abuse now being thrown at Ripley from the powerhouse Raquel.
32:19What the hell is she cooking up here?
32:21Rhea caught.
32:22Raquel now trapping Rhea Ripley in the steel chain link.
32:27And Ripley now defenseless makes this a one-on-one matchup.
32:31But wait, Tiffany Stratton's got other ideas.
32:33Where the hell is she going?
32:35Tiffany now caught by Raquel again.
32:38Another high risk maneuver backfiring for Stratton.
32:42Trying to fight out of this.
32:44Raquel dumped into the ring by Tiffany.
32:47Nice move by Tiffany using the momentum of Raquel against her.
32:51That's about the only way you can take Raquel down.
32:53Big group by Raquel.
32:55Meanwhile, Rhea Ripley still trapped in the chamber.
32:58And this is exactly what Raquel needs at this point.
33:02Make it one-on-one for now.
33:03Keep Rhea Ripley out of this situation.
33:06Completely mauled Tiffany Stratton.
33:08Send her back to the locker room.
33:10And then pull apart Rhea Ripley.
33:12That's a perfect way to describe a big old grizzly bear.
33:15Raquel Rodriguez, as you said, mauling Stratton.
33:20And it's become an unfair fight.
33:23Like a grown-up against a child at this point.
33:26There's that spinning corkscrew elbow.
33:30Raquel's patented that move.
33:32And now we're gonna lift Stratton up.
33:36Look at the Tahana bomb.
33:38Stratton lands on her feet.
33:40Raquel now with a splash in the corner.
33:42You know all about the durability of Tiffany Stratton
33:44and some of the wars she had last year as the women's champion.
33:48She's gonna need all of that right now.
33:50And perhaps more if she's somehow gonna navigate her way through the chamber.
33:54She only suffered two losses in 2025.
33:57Meanwhile, Ripley on top of the pod.
33:59Cannonball to take out Raquel.
34:03But wait up, Cole.
34:05Look who's on the top rope.
34:08Stratton, prettiest moonsault ever.
34:11One, two, three.
34:16Raquel's eliminated.
34:18We are down to two.
34:19Raquel has been eliminated.
34:28My God, just when Raquel was going in for the kill on Tiffany Stratton,
34:33out of nowhere, the woman we somehow forgot about.
34:36Rhea takes her down and that one prettiest moonsault ever.
34:38The Smash Pass has been triggered.
34:40Order on DoorDash and use code Smash Pass for a chance to win a flyaway trip for
34:45four to WrestleMania in Las Vegas.
34:47Terms apply.
34:49Jade Cargill looks on.
34:50One of these two women will face her at WrestleMania.
34:53Will it be Stratton?
34:54Will it be Ripley?
35:06Rhea misses with a kick, big knee by Stratton, caught Rhea in the face.
35:10Okay, some old paper here.
35:11You have to say Rhea Ripley would be the favorite,
35:14given that she was last out of the pod and Tiffany started this thing.
35:16But let's not forget, Rhea Ripley losing tag goal 24 hours ago in an incredibly
35:22brutal matchup with Lash Ledge and the Nia Jax.
35:25Is it going to pay here?
35:27Looking for the razor's edge to Tiffany Stratton, lands on her feet.
35:30Again, I think you can throw all stats out the window when it gets down to the final two,
35:35like this Alabama slam.
35:37Stratton stacks up Ripley, who kicks out at two.
35:49What a match.
35:51The prize at the end of the line, WrestleMania.
35:55Yeah, and this is that point where those top level competitors find that extra gear
36:00when they need it.
36:00There's your reminder, Tiffany Stratton, the WrestleMania Vegas sign hanging there.
36:05How much more motivation does anybody need?
36:08Oh, went for the swanton.
36:09Rhea Ripley rolled out of harm's way, catches Tiffany now with a kick.
36:13It could be Ripley's opportunity.
36:44Move!
36:46Rhea to put this one to bed.
36:51Now Ripley toward the corner, Tiffany Stratton, Rhea goes shoulder first.
36:56But it's one mistake at this point in a match that will cost you.
37:00Is that the mistake?
37:01Ready to pounce is Tiffy.
37:03Stratton this time connects with a swanton into the cover.
37:07Stratton looking to face, Cargill at WrestleMania, and Rhea kicks out.
37:12It has been an incredible performance by Stratton.
37:15Started the match up here tonight.
37:18The wounds obvious on the face of Tiffany Stratton now, but she doesn't care.
37:22She's focused on one thing, that is victory at all costs.
37:25Rowling sets hot again.
37:27Tiffany Stratton up top.
37:28Looking for the prettiest moonsault ever, but driven into the pod by Ripley.
37:32Oh God, Joel first by Ripley into that pod, and now, wait up.
37:38Ripley, rip time, cover.
37:42One, two, three.
37:43Rhea's going to WrestleMania.
37:46Here is your winner of the women's 2026 Elimination Chamber, Rhea Ripley.
37:57Oh, wait, a storm is coming.
38:02Oh boy, two of the biggest, most dominant powerhouses in the women's division are going to clash
38:11for the WWE Women's Championship right there at WrestleMania.
38:17Rhea Ripley earns the opportunity to battle for a championship match in her fifth straight WrestleMania.
38:27And here is some of the wreckage of this match.
38:29A double elimination by Raquel, who had an absolutely epic performance in this one.
38:35But this is when it all went wrong.
38:37Drop your guard for a second, and you come a cropper in the chamber.
38:42One prettiest moonsault ever, taking down the powerhouse, Raquel.
38:47After she thought she started to taste victory.
38:52And then Tiffany Stratton looking to put Rhea away with the prettiest moonsault ever,
38:57shoved into the pod.
38:58And that's all Rhea Ripley needed to deliver the rip time.
39:03That gives her a first class ticket, seven weeks from tonight, to WrestleMania.
39:09WrestleMania.
39:18What an incredible performance by all six women tonight.
39:32Cargill, Ripley, the Storm, the Eradicator.
39:39Jade says, bring it on.
39:43Jade, be careful what you wish for.
39:53Jade, be careful what you wish for.
40:00Jade, be careful what you wish for.
40:07Jade, be careful what you wish for.
40:14Jade!
40:15Jade!
