Tonight's WWE Elimination Chamber event will help set the stage for WrestleMania 42 this April in Las Vegas.

Elimination Chamber is WWE's final premium live event before the Showcase of the Immortals this April, and it should go a long way in determining what to expect at the company's biggest show of the year.

Tonight's card, which takes place at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, features four matches, including two title matches and two matches inside the imposing Chamber structure.

One title match will see Becky Lynch put the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship on the line against AJ Lee.

Lynch has promised to retire her rival in Chicago this evening, but Lee would much rather head into the Showcase of the Immortals with gold around her waist. Who leaves the United Center with the title? We'll find out soon enough.

The other title match is a rematch from the January 19 episode of WWE Raw from Ireland, when CM Punk successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor in his backyard. Despite showing respect to Balor following the match, a frustrated Balor, who was denied entry into the Men's Royal Rumble match, took matters into his own hands, ruining AJ Styles' final match on Raw against Punk.

Balor essentially earned his rematch by getting under the champions' skin. Now the roles are reversed, as Punk looks to avoid disappointing his hometown crowd in Chicago. Will Punk's road to WrestleMania 42 remain undeterred, or will Balor place a gigantic roadblock in his path?

As for the Chamber matches themselves, a title shot at WrestleMania 42 is on the line for both the men and the women this evening. With Liv Morgan picking Stephanie Vaquer to face for the Women's World Championship in Las Vegas, this match will determine Jade Cargill's opponent this April.

The match will feature Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Stratton, Kiana James, Asuka, and Raquel Rodriguez. Which woman will punch her ticket to the Showcase of the Immortals this evening? Only time will tell.

On the men's side of things, Cody Rhodes will be looking to main event WrestleMania for the fourth year in a row as he steps inside the Chamber with Logan Paul, Trick Williams, Randy Orton, LA Knight, and Je'Von Evans.

Will Rhodes get his rematch with Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship? Or will someone derail The American Nightmare's road to WrestleMania instead?


WWE Elimination Chamber results:

Women's Elimination Chamber: Rhea Ripley defeated Tiffany Stratton, Alexa Bliss, Kiana James, Asuka, and Raquel Rodriguez. Tiffany Stratton and Kiana James start the match. Asuka enters the match third. Alexa Bliss enters fourth. Rhea Ripley enters fifth. James eliminates Bliss. Raquel Rodriguez enters last.

Rodriguez eliminates James and Asuka by pinning them at the same time. Stratton eliminates Rodriguez, and we are down to the final two. The finish of the match saw Ripley hit Stratton with Riptide to score the pinfall victory.

AJ Lee defeated Becky Lynch to win the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship. The match was fun for the most part, and that's a good thing because it's very likely they're going to run this back in April at WrestleMania. The finish saw Lynch collide with the exposed turnbuckle that she removed. Lee locked her in the Black Widow, and Lynch tapped out.

Adam Priest and Nick Aldis are backstage with the crate. R-Truth comes in and plugs Papa John's new pan pizza. It appears we'll have to wait a bit longer to find out who or what is in the crate.

World Heavyweight Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Finn Balor. Chicago Bulls PA Announcer Ray Clay introduces CM Punk in the same manner Michael Jordan would have been introduced decades ago in the United Center. This was a very cool moment, and the crowd ate it up.

The match begins slow and methodical with Punk and Balor feeling each other out early on.

  • Women's Elimination Chamber: Tiffany Stratton vs. Asuka vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Kiana James vs. Alexa Bliss
