00:01This is what we're trying to say!
00:15Have you seen me?
00:18Have you seen your dreams?
00:20Have you seen me?
00:30And from Adelaide, South Australia, Rhea Ripley!
00:37I've said this before and I'm gonna say it again.
00:40Google the word superstar and Rhea Ripley's image will appear.
00:46Ripley Wade looking to win this match tonight and earn her fifth world championship match.
00:53Five of them at WrestleMania.
00:55Yeah, it's been a dreadful 24 hours for Rhea Ripley.
01:00Just 24 hours ago, Louisville, Kentucky for SmackDown.
01:03Rhea Ripley and Io Sky lost the winning tag team championships to the irresistible forces.
01:09And Rhea Ripley undoubtedly physically beat up now and perhaps with the loss of gold mentally too.
01:16Yeah, I was gonna say, how does last night's loss, and she got pinned in that match by Last Legend.
01:21How does last night's loss affect Rhea coming into tonight?
01:25It just ramps that pressure up.
01:26Rhea Ripley needs a marquee championship match at WrestleMania.
01:30She would have had that with tag gold.
01:32That's gone now.
01:33If Ripley does not win this match, she will not be having a marquee match at WrestleMania this year.
01:41And that is unthinkable.
01:44As Rhea Ripley tours the pod, she will be the fourth woman locked inside the pods here tonight.
01:50We now know the next two women will actually start the Elimination Chamber.
02:06Wade, you have been in three chamber matches in your career.
02:10Don't remind me.
02:11How intimidating is that to have one of the superstars walk up to you and go face to face while
02:16you're in the pod?
02:17You know what?
02:17As long as I was locked in the safety of the pod, I didn't mind so much.
02:21It was when that pod opened, I was surrounded by steel everywhere I looked, and ravenous looking competitors looking to
02:29end my career as quickly as they could in order to put their ticket to WrestleMania or a championship, whatever
02:35it may have been.
02:36But for now, these four women have got lucky.
02:39The next two, not so much.
02:41.
02:58Making her way to the ring, from Sioux City, Iowa, Kiana James.
03:07Wade, you and I have been touting the attributes of Kiana James for a number of months now.
03:12It's been an incredible couple of months for Kiana back at the Royal Rumble.
03:16She lasted almost 30 minutes in the Rumble match.
03:20And then, of course, one of the biggest upsets, I believe, in SmackDown history, when she knocked off Nia Jackson
03:26Charlotte Flair, pinning the Queen to qualify tonight.
03:29Yeah, not everybody gets handed the same opportunity right off the bat when it comes to WWE.
03:36Kiana has had to make meals out of crumbs at times, but she's more than done that.
03:41She's blown people's minds, shocked the world when, as you mentioned, she defeated Charlotte and Nia to qualify for this.
03:48The truth is, Kiana James is flying under the radar in this match.
03:52None of the other five competitors are focused on Kiana James.
03:56Kiana wants to shock the world.
03:58She's in exactly the right place to do just that.
04:02Although, she's gonna have to do it the hard way from the very start of this match.
04:07Kiana's rise in WWE was sidetracked with a very serious knee injury, cost her over a year of her career.
04:13She told Yahoo Sports in an exclusive interview that she, well, wants to come back stronger than ever.
04:201% better in the ring every single day has helped her develop a mental toughness in that brick-by
04:28-brick approach to get better.
04:30What an opportunity for the woman who you claim will fly under the radar tonight.
04:34Yeah, as smart as they come, Kiana James knows the secret to success in this game is a competitive edge.
04:42And that mega-brain of Kiana James has done her a real solid inner run on SmackDown so far.
04:49Can it launch her all the way to WrestleMania?
05:01It's Tiffy time!
05:16It's Tiffy time!
05:18It's Tiffy time!
05:21And from Prior Lake, Minnesota, Tiffany Stratton.
05:27Tiffany Stratton beat Chelsea Green in last legend to qualify for tonight.
05:31It's her second chamber match in her career.
05:34Last year at the chamber, she had a career highlight, she told me earlier today.
05:37That was the night she tagged with the Hall of Famer,
05:40the legendary Trish Stratus in Toronto.
05:42Well, 2025 as a whole was an absolute ballot year for
05:47Tiffany Stratton all the way up until she lost her Women's WWE Championship to one Jade Cargill.
05:56Now, she got injured in the process of that loss and
05:59has been desperate to get a rematch with Cargill ever since.
06:03It's a real simple process, you just have to win the chamber from the very start,
06:08Tiffy, then you get your day for destiny with Jade Cargill.
06:12One note on the number two entry mark for
06:15Kiana James in this matchup.
06:18Number two, the least amount of wins in elimination chamber match history.
06:22Just three wins over the 24 year history of the chamber.
06:26So, the matchup starts with two women in the ring.
06:29At the regular intervals, pods will open, another woman will enter the fray.
06:34This is an elimination match.
06:35Once you lose, either pinned or submitted, you gotta head back to the locker room.
06:39The last woman standing goes to WrestleMania.
06:46And we're underway.
06:50Referee Dan Angler calling for the bell.
06:53Hillworth's matchup inside the ring.
06:55Outside, a number of officials will guard the pods, open the pods when it is necessary.
07:00So, James and Tiffany Stratton, wait, what type of strategy do you use when you start this matchup off?
07:05Well, you've mentioned we've got some veterans in there who experienced the chamber before.
07:08We also have some others, such as Kiana James, who have not.
07:12Kiana James is in for a massive shock imminently once she tastes that steel for the very first time.
07:19Nothing can prepare you for it.
07:21My advice at this point is stay as far away from the outside of this ring for as long as
07:27you possibly can.
07:28My estimation, Kiana James is playing with house money tonight.
07:32Not really a lot to lose here, but a perfect opportunity and a nice headlock takedown by Stratton.
07:37See, I actually disagree with you there.
07:39You have a lot to lose in the chamber regardless of the results when it comes to your health and
07:44longevity of your career.
07:45This is such a dangerous situation to be in.
07:48Although I do agree, this is not where Kiana James expected to be right now.
07:53She just needs to execute.
07:55Both of these women are highly decorated gymnasts in their college days.
08:01Brought that athleticism here to WWE.
08:05And I don't know if Tiffany wants to get into a test of strength with Kiana James.
08:08I'll tell you right now, there is a level of disrespect being thrown at Kiana James from the entire
08:13women's locker room.
08:14And I think after tonight, those who have not been paying attention will suddenly gain a lot more respect
08:21for Little Miss Smarty Pants here.
08:23Oh, what a nice start.
08:24You know, we talked about it earlier today.
08:26The chip, the massive chip on the shoulder of Kiana James.
08:30A very valuable thing to have at this level, here we go.
08:34Only a one count.
08:36Would have been nice to put Tiffany away there.
08:38Have a little rest till the next pod opens.
08:41Get yourself as fresh as you can because four more women are gonna be
08:45consecutively introduced into this match.
08:47Each one fresher than the last.
08:49I think it also drives Kiana James the fact that for a lot of her career,
08:53she's been overlooked by her buddy Julia.
08:55Ooh, and a nice basement dropkick by Stratt into the cover.
08:58Hooks the leg and a kick out at two.
09:00Well, she's done a hell of a job for Julia so far as her official representative led
09:05Julia to a couple of championships already here on SmackDown.
09:09And that standing boot salt by Kiana James, cover on Stratt and a kick out.
09:15The word is certainly out too about Kiana James now and the taste for gold has
09:20spread around Julia and Kiana.
09:24And that is an addictive thing to have.
09:26Man, they could have a whole lot of gold come WrestleMania.
09:30See Tiffany in the ring, she battled Kairi Sane 24 hours ago.
09:33Master class put on by Asuka, who originally accepted Tiffany Stratton's challenge.
09:38Yeah, you've gotta be absolutely insane to accept
09:40a match 24 hours before a massive battle like this.
09:44Well, certainly Tiffany did on the basis that a fellow opponent in Asuka was gonna,
09:48and then a last minute switcheroo changed that to Kairi Sane.
09:51So fresh is a daisy as Asuka, whereas pre beaten up perhaps
09:55is Tiffany Stratton despite getting the victory yesterday.
09:59Yeah, and then she had to start the match up off as well.
10:02And Kiana now tossing Stratton outside the ropes.
10:05Again, there are no disqualifications, obviously no count outs in this match.
10:08This is the danger zone right now.
10:10As soon as you leave the inside of those ropes, there is steel metal everywhere you look.
10:15And there is no part of the human body that likes being introduced to cold hard steam.
10:20Kiana looking for a suplex block three times now by Tiffany who delivers one of her own.
10:25And you see the back buckle of Kiana, what does that feel like?
10:28Well, that is a certain regret now coursing through the veins of Kiana.
10:33Whatever strategy she had to take down Tiffany Stratton has backfired in the worst way.
10:38And welcome to the chamber.
10:39Oh!
10:40And Kiana rolled out of harm's way and Tiffany head first into the pot as Raquel Rodriguez laughs at her.
10:47Oh man, you see all that gymnastic ability.
10:49He put it backfired there in a big way.
10:52Blasting hard against that chamber in the lower back of Tiffany Stratton.
10:56It is a bad, bad way and it was a big mommy cool like the look of that.
11:00And Wade, the thing about the chamber is sometimes you have to change your game.
11:04You got to change your offense a little bit.
11:05You can't go back to the well with the things that have brought you there
11:08because it can get you in trouble like you saw there.
11:12Who will enter the chamber next?
11:14Four, three, two, one.
11:22The Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka waiting for the door door.
11:27And it goes to Kiana James with a preemptive strike driving Asuka into the pod.
11:32Well, absolutely ball rushing Asuka knowing full well that Asuka is one of the biggest threats in this match.
11:37Kiana just smart enough to stop Asuka getting out the blocks, but it simply didn't last.
11:43Goodness, look at this, just pounding, bouncing, Kiana James off the pod.
11:49Yeah, and this goes back to what you were talking about moments ago about strategies and
11:52how you have to change them.
11:53This is the point Kiana James changes strategy because she can't remember the strategy that she came in with.
11:59And now Tiffany Stratton driven into the pod by Asuka,
12:02who's been relentless in her attack since coming into the chamber.
12:07Uncaged, unleashed, and wreaking havoc inside the elimination chamber.
12:12Two for the price of one, now for the Empress of Tomorrow.
12:15Closed line followed by a full dog, and we've said this on another occasion.
12:18Asuka, one of the most dangerous women in WWE.
12:21Well, no doubt about it, there is nothing this woman cannot do in there.
12:25Everything this woman hits is hit with authority.
12:28And there is a certain demented look in the eye of Asuka now,
12:32who is loving the carnage she can exact inside the chamber.
12:36A four-time world champion, she's won five tag titles tied with Raquel for the most.
12:41We mentioned she won a chamber three years ago.
12:44And now the Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka, with a double missile drop kick to take out
12:48James and Stratton.
12:49Cover now on Kiana, and a kick out by James.
12:52Now a cover on Stratton by Asuka, and a kick out by Tiffany.
12:55So fantastic start here from Asuka, taking down two opponents who were obviously pre-weakened
13:00as they started the match before Asuka did.
13:02Here's the issue, Asuka has just burned up a ton of energy staying in control of this match,
13:09and eventually that might come back to bite her in the latter stages.
13:12And you know Asuka beat a couple of legends to actually qualify.
13:16Bayley and Natty knocked off by Asuka, earn her the opportunity tonight.
13:21He just tells you that Asuka really is firing on all cylinders as the best always do this time
13:26of year as we close in on WrestleMania.
13:28And now Tiffany Stratton, that handspring, back elbow, and on the other side.
13:37Big knee by Asuka, connects into the cover.
13:39Is it enough on Tiffany, who just gets the shoulder up?
13:43Just shows you the experience of Asuka there, when on a tear was Tiffany Stratton,
13:47just lying in wait, ready to pounce.
13:50The fourth member, and the chamber will enter.
13:53Six, five, four, three, two, one.
14:03Little Miss Bliss, and look at the look, the disturbing look,
14:08on the face of the winner of the inaugural chamber match for the women.
14:12That is not a look anybody should ever have on their face,
14:16stepping into the carnage that is the Elimination Chamber.
14:19Bliss knocking off Julia and Zelina to qualify for this match tonight.
14:25Always a sinister and ominous presence surrounding Alexa Bliss.
14:30And right off the bat, dropping the entire field.
14:34Keep your eyes peeled, breaths everywhere you look, Bliss.
14:38The fact that Alexa's in this match and her friend, Charlotte Flair,
14:41is not really as depressed Charlotte.
14:44Yeah, she says she's fine.
14:45I do know for a fact when a woman tells you that, she is never fine.
14:49Don't fall for that trap.
14:50Charlotte Flair very unhappy about missing out on the chamber.
14:53And Tiffany Stratton with a rolling sentine, showing off her power here.
14:57Gonna head up to the top rope, looking for the prettiest moonsault ever.
15:00But Alexa Bliss, intercepted.
15:02There's a rough, rough landing.
15:04And Tiffany Stratton's been in this match a long time already.
15:07And the toes slowly to show movement not quite as crisp as it was in the early goings.
15:12And that drop kick to the gut will not help.
15:15Now Asuka stalking Alexa Bliss, looking for a German suplex.
15:18Alexa, able to deliver a back elbow.
15:27Oh, and a big knee by James Bliss, rolls her up, trying to take advantage.
15:33Bliss, you have almost extrasensory perception on that one, and wait a second.
15:39I don't know about Keanu breaking that pin up, may have been a little inexperienced there.
15:44You kinda wanna eliminate opponents any way you can at this point.
15:48Yeah, a bit overzealous perhaps, but Keanu James has looked great so far in the chamber.
15:53Absolutely superb, and now looking completely dominant with three bodies dropped around her.
15:58Two fresh bodies waiting to enter the match imminently.
16:03Bounced off the steel as Stratton.
16:07Two miles of chain link surround this structure.
16:11And now James looking to catapult Stratton.
16:18Into the pod!
16:21Face first, getting completely wiped out is Stratton.
16:25Let's take another look at this slingshot.
16:28Right into that glass and steel.
16:32Just bouncing off skull first.
16:35What an epic display it's been thus far from Keanu James.
16:38But no time to rest, no time to relax.
16:41Number five gonna enter the chamber.
16:43More wins than any other number.
16:45Number five, nine wins in the history of the chamber, so a lucky spot here.
16:53For the eradicator, Rhea Ripley!
16:57Oh, and Keanu James tried her best to rush it just as she did.
17:01Asuka simply didn't work.
17:02Clearly Ripley was waiting for it.
17:04Yeah, Rhea's had issues with Keanu, issues with Asuka.
17:08And so many of these women have had issues in the tag division over on SmackDown,
17:13including the two in the ring right now.
17:15Planting Asuka face first.
17:18Stratton now runs into a head butt by Ripley.
17:20Ripley had any whirl wounds from last night, losing tag gold to the Irresistible Forces.
17:25It's not showing.
17:27Rhea Ripley who knocked off Lyra, Valkyria, and Ivy Nile to qualify tonight.
17:33Now turns her attention to Alexa Bliss.
17:40Look at this.
17:43Just pure power from Ripley.
17:46It's hard to argue with that, but navigating her way out again.
17:49And Alexa Bliss looking perhaps for Sister Abigail here.
17:55And Rhea turns it around.
17:57Rhea happens to be very, very nimble here.
17:59And straight back to power.
18:01Looking for Riptide.
18:02Blisto able to.
18:04Oh, you can just read the panic on the body of Alexa Bliss there as she wriggled out of that
18:09Riptide attempt, but it might be about to get it worse now on the steal.
18:14Bliss does not want to be out there.
18:16Rhea Ripley, Bliss now trying to hang on.
18:18Trying to hang on to the chamber.
18:19Trying to protect herself.
18:20The smart use of the chains there, clinging on for DLIF at this point,
18:24but getting higher and higher, and a drop from there.
18:26Oh!
18:27And Kiana driving Ripley back first into the steal.
18:31Oscar went for the hippotap.
18:32Tiffany Stretton with a drop, kicked Oscar, dropped her outside.
18:36Kiana James once again lying in wait and finding the exact right moment to strike.
18:45All four women on the steal outside the ring.
18:53Uh-oh.
18:55Alexa Bliss has found herself on top of the pod, and Bliss!
19:02Oh, God, Twisted Bliss from the top of the pod takes down everyone.
19:08Take another look at that.
19:12Kiana James maybe avoided the worst of that one, but three women completely wiped out with one
19:18high-risk move, and has it taken something out of Alexa Bliss in the process?
19:24Raquel Rodriguez, who will join this fray momentarily, has to be licking her chops,
19:30Wade, as these five women beat each other up.
19:32And when you see carnage like that right in front of your eyes, now is the time to start
19:38thinning the herd in this Elimination Chamber match.
19:41And no eliminations thus far.
19:43Kiana James caught, looking for Sister Abigail, for Alexa Bliss,
19:49pointing to the WrestleMania sign, and a missed, a missed by Asuka to Bliss.
19:54Kiana rolls her up, Kiana eliminates Bliss.
20:00Alexa Bliss has been eliminated.
20:03And the miss is legal, no disqualifications inside the chamber.
20:07And Bliss is gonna have to leave the chamber, we are down to five.
20:12And Raquel Rodriguez, 10 seconds away, from entering her third Elimination Chamber,
20:19with an opportunity to face Jade Cargill for the WWE Championship in WrestleMania, up for grabs.
20:29And Raquel, the powerhouse of the Judgment Day, just catching Tiffany Stratton, and a baseball
20:36swing into the side of the cage.
20:38The strongest woman in the match, the baddest woman in the match, the freshest woman in the match.
20:46You know, you talked about Kiana James, and the number of months that she's had here.
20:51What about Raquel Rodriguez, really coming of age for Raquel.
20:54Oh, and Rhea Ripley hung up on the top rope.
20:57Oh God, Raquel stepped up absolutely huge, when Liv Morgan went down with injury in the Judgment
21:02Day about 12 months ago, and Raquel has not locked back.
21:06Get yourself all the way to WrestleMania, but wait up here.
21:10Yeah, smart strategy by Kiana, Asuka, and Tiffany.
21:13Well, it was smart strategy, I thought.
21:14Now, Rhea Ripley.
21:16It was the right idea, very difficult to tear down someone as powerful as Raquel.
21:21Slowly teamwork, seems to get the job done, oh God.
21:24Who the hell can man handle Rhea bloody Ripley like that?
21:29Raquel treating Ripley and now Asuka like ragdolls.
21:33And Kiana James sent into the steel.
21:37Raquel Rodriguez, a human demolition ball, and now Rhea Ripley with a big forearm.
21:45Raquel just a woman who nobody in the locker room can physically dominate.
21:49Oh, look at this.
21:50And that is just ludicrous, Raquel.
21:53Rhea was going for the, oh, hurricanrana, caught by Raquel and now tossed into the ring.
22:00Those are two women who know each other so, so well at NXT.
22:05They were best buds and training partners.
22:07However, two alpha females do not get on for long.
22:11Eventually that imploded.
22:13It's like the spine of Rhea Ripley and now the head perhaps of Tiffany Stratton.
22:18And now Asuka trying to drive Raquel Rodriguez into the steel.
22:22Quick strikes by the Empress of Tomorrow.
22:24And every woman in this match outside of Raquel needs to get on the same page.
22:28You cannot give Raquel any breathing room.
22:30She's gonna cut through you all like a hot knife through butter.
22:34Well, that's a fall away slam sending Asuka into the ring.
22:38And now Kiana James driving Raquel into the steel and now caught in a pod.
22:43And once Raquel drops her guard, you have to pound.
22:48Someone needs to be waiting.
22:49Raquel is gonna take this like candy from a baby if you don't.
22:53And now a running power slam through the pod.
22:58Bulldog would be happy.
23:07The broken body of Kiana James now right for the pickings.
23:12Raquel has done the damage.
23:14And now Raquel catching Asuka in her arms to Hanabal Modify.
23:21Stacking up both women.
23:22Raquel eliminated James and Asuka.
23:26Asuka and Kiana James have been eliminated.
23:35Well, take a look at this.
23:37Kiana James getting smashed through one of the pods by Raquel with absolute ease.
23:44And that is a body just waiting to be pinned.
23:48But before she could get there, Asuka had other ideas.
23:51Uh-uh, not tonight.
23:52To Hanabal.
23:53Two for the price of one for Raquel, who is starting to steamroller towards WrestleMania.
24:00We are now down to three.
24:02One of these women going to Las Vegas in seven weeks to face Jade Cargill for
24:07the WWE title.
24:08Will it be Tiffany Stratton?
24:10Will it be Rhea Ripley?
24:11Will it be Raquel Rodriguez?
24:13High stakes, high pressure here tonight.
24:15And let's not forget that Tiffany Stratton has been in this thing from the very
24:19beginning to relatively pressure women in there with her.
24:23But Tiffany Stratton has the movement to avoid the worst of the damage and
24:28try and put this to bed, but no, that's not gonna work.
24:30Yeah, Tiffany may wanna change things up instead of trying to overpower Raquel Rodriguez,
24:36who delivers that twirling slam to Stratton.
24:41Tiffany gets the shoulder up at two.
24:44Here's part of the problem when it comes to Tiffany Stratton.
24:46This deep in the matchup, you simply are working off instincts, not strategy now.
24:51And some of the things you're looking to do, your body is not gonna cooperate with you on
24:55them because you are too beaten up.
24:56Now Ripley sent into the steel.
24:59This is just barbaric abuse now being thrown at Ripley from the powerhouse Raquel.
25:04What the hell is she cooking up here?
25:07Rhea caught, Raquel now trapping Rhea Ripley in the steel chain link.
25:12And Ripley now defenseless, makes this a one-on-one matchup, but wait,
25:17Tiffany Stratton's got other ideas.
25:19Where the hell is she going?
25:21Tiffany now caught by Raquel again.
25:24Another high risk maneuver, backfiring for Stratton.
25:28Trying to fight out of this.
25:30Raquel, dumped into the ring by Tiffany.
25:33Nice move by Tiffany, using the momentum of Raquel against her.
25:37That's about the only way you can take Raquel down.
25:39Big boot by Raquel.
25:41Meanwhile, Rhea Ripley's still trapped in the chamber.
25:44And this is exactly what Raquel needs at this point.
25:48Make it one-on-one for now.
25:49Keep Rhea Ripley out of this situation.
25:52Completely mauled Tiffany Stratton.
25:54Send her back to the locker room and then pull apart Rhea Ripley.
25:58That's a perfect way to describe it, being a grizzly bear.
26:01Raquel Rodriguez, as you said, mauling Stratton.
26:06And it's become an unfair fight.
26:09Raquel- Like a grown up against a child at this point.
26:11There's that spinning corkscrew elbow.
26:16Raquel's patented that move, and now we're gonna lift Stratton up.
26:22Look at the Tahana bomb.
26:24Stratton lands on her feet.
26:25Raquel now with a splash in the corner.
26:27You know all about the durability of Tiffany Stratton,
26:30and some of the wars she had last year as the women's champion.
26:34She's gonna need all of that right now, and perhaps more,
26:37if she's somehow gonna navigate her way through the chamber.
26:40She only suffered two losses in 2025.
26:43Meanwhile, Ripley on top of the pod.
26:45Cannonball to take out Raquel.
26:49But wait up, Cole.
26:51Look who's on the top rope.
26:54Stratton, prettiest moonsault ever.
26:57One, two, three.
27:02Raquel is eliminated.
27:03We are down to two.
27:05Raquel Rodriguez has been eliminated.
27:14My God, just when Raquel was going in for the kill on Tiffany Stratton,
27:19out of nowhere, the woman we somehow forgot about, Rhea takes it out of that one prettiest moonsault ever.
27:24The smash pass has been triggered.
27:26Order on DoorDash and use code SMASHPASS for a chance to win a flyaway trip for four to
27:31WrestleMania in Las Vegas.
27:33Terms apply.
27:35Jade Cargill looks on.
27:36One of these two women will face her at WrestleMania.
27:38Will it be Stratton?
27:40Will it be Ripley?
27:52Rhea misses with a kick, big knee by Stratton, caught Rhea in the face.
27:55Okay, some old paper here.
27:57You have to say Rhea Ripley would be the favorite given that she was last out of the pod and
28:01Tiffany
28:01started this thing.
28:02But let's not forget, Rhea Ripley losing tag goal 24 hours ago in an incredibly brutal matchup
28:09with Lash Legend and Nia Jax.
28:11Is it gonna pay here?
28:13Looking for the razor's edge to Tiffany, Stratton lands on her feet.
28:16Again, I think you can throw all the stats out the window when he gets down to the final two,
28:21like this Alabama slam.
28:23Stratton stacks up Ripley, who kicks at it too.
28:35What a match.
28:37The prize at the end of the line, WrestleMania.
28:41Yeah, and this is that point where those top level competitors find that extra gear when they need it.
28:46There's your reminder, Tiffany Stratton, the WrestleMania Vegas sign hanging there.
28:51How much more motivation does anybody need?
28:54Oh, went for the swan time.
28:55Rhea Ripley rolled out of harm's way, catches Tiffany now with a kick.
28:59It could be Ripley's opportunity.
29:06Smooth takes out Stratton face first, cover now by Rhea.
29:11And a kick out.
29:14You see Rhea Ripley in absolute agony.
29:18That lower back has been completely given out on her, unsurprisingly,
29:24after the abuse is received in this match and indeed last night.
29:28Is there enough left in the tank of the eradicator to put this one to bed?
29:37Now Ripley toward the corner, Tiffany Stratton caught-
29:40Rhea goes shoulder first.
29:42But it's one mistake at this point in a match that will cost you.
29:46Is that the mistake?
29:47Ready to pounce is Tiffy.
29:49Stratton this time connects with the swan time.
29:52Into the cover.
29:53Stratton looking to face Cargill at WrestleMania and Rhea kicks out.
29:58It has been an incredible performance by Stratton.
30:01Started the match up here tonight.
30:04The wounds obvious on the face of Tiffany Stratton now, but she doesn't care.
30:08She's focused on one thing, that is victory at all costs.
30:11Rowling sets hot again.
30:13Tiffany Stratton up top.
30:14Look at him in the prettiest moves.
30:16Oh, Dumber, but driven into the pod by Ripley.
30:18Oh God, Joel first by Ripley into that pod, and now wait up.
30:25Ripley, riptide, cover.
30:28One, two, three.
30:29Rhea's going to WrestleMania.
30:32Here is your winner of the women's 2026 Elimination Chamber, Rhea Ripley.
30:43Rhea Ripley.
30:44Oh wait, a storm is coming.
30:49Oh boy, two of the biggest, most dominant powerhouses in the women's division are going to clash
30:57for the WWE Women's Championship right there at WrestleMania.
31:02WrestleMania.
31:03Rhea Ripley earns the opportunity to battle for a championship match in her fifth straight
31:11WrestleMania.
31:13And here is some of the wreckage of this match.
31:16A double elimination by Raquel, who had an absolutely epic performance in this one.
31:21But this is when it all went wrong.
31:23Drop your guard for a second, and you come a cropper in the chamber.
31:28One prettiest moonsault ever, taking down the powerhouse, Raquel.
31:33After she thought she started to taste victory.
31:38And then Tiffany Stratton looking to put Rhea away with the prettiest moonsault ever,
31:42shoved into the pod.
31:44And that's all Rhea Ripley needed to deliver the riptide.
31:49It gives her a first class ticket seven weeks from tonight to WrestleMania.
32:03What an incredible performance by all six women tonight.
32:18Cargill, Ripley, the Storm, the Eradicator.
32:25Jade says, bring it on.
32:29Jade, be careful what you wish for.
