WWE’s Elimination Chamber has become a cornerstone stop on the Road to WrestleMania, but who will leave this year’s event with a prominent spot on the card for ‘Showcase of the Immortals’ in April.
This year’s event is taking place in Chicago - the home town of world heavyweight champion CM Punk – and is headlined by two Elimination Chamber matches, as well as two singles bouts featuring some of the WWE’s most popular stars.
We have made our predictions for those big matchups at the United Center right here:
Men’s Elimination Chamber Match Predictions
| Wrestler | Odds |
|---|---|
| Cody Rhodes | 4/7 |
| Randy Orton | 11/4 |
| LA Knight | 7/2 |
| Je-Von Evans | 12/1 |
| Trick Williams | 12/1 |
| Jey Uso | 12/1 |
Cody Rhodes enters this year’s Chamber as the clear betting favourite, and for good reason. Rhodes has been central to the WWE title picture over the past couple of years, headlining the past three WrestleMania events. While he may not be in the undisputed title picture this time around, the WWE will want to have him in the mix for a major title and, in this case, that would be the world heavyweight crown currently held by Drew McIntyre.
Rhodes has repeatedly been woven into high-profile feuds and a victory here not only cements him as a second consecutive Chamber winner, but also positions him as a logical challenger to either McIntyre or another top champion at WWE’s biggest show of the year. His star power and storytelling investment make him the most logical winner, especially with many of his opponents cast in less consistent main event roles.
Women’s Elimination Chamber Match Predictions
| Wrestler | Odds |
|---|---|
| Tiffany Stratton | 6/4 |
| Raquel Rodriguez | 5/2 |
| Alexa Bliss | 3/1 |
| Rhea Ripley | 3/1 |
| Asuka | 8/1 |
| Kiana James | 20/1 |
The women’s Elimination Chamber field is wide open, but Tiffany Stratton has the best odds on the board at 6/4, indicating strong confidence from bettors and bookmakers. Stratton has surged in momentum throughout early 2026, and her athleticism and narrative arc — particularly in contrast to established stars like Rhea Ripley — makes her a market favourite.
Winning the Chamber gives Stratton a clear path to a WrestleMania title match against either Jade Cargill or Stephanie Vaquer, depending on how WWE weaves that storyline. Raquel Rodriguez and Alexa Bliss are right behind Stratton in the betting lines, but neither presence offers the same long-term storytelling payoff that Stratton provides. Rhea Ripley remains a threat but feels as though her potential WrestleMania story might be tied to a more established championship feud.
World Heavyweight Championship Predictions: CM Punk vs Finn Balor
CM Punk’s hometown ties to Chicago and the lopsided odds suggest that few expect a title change here. From a narrative and business standpoint, Punk holding until WrestleMania allows WWE to build one of its biggest crossover matches of the year - especially given the hype around Punk vs Roman Reigns.
Balor is a talented contender and will no doubt deliver a compelling performance, but momentum and creative direction both point toward Punk keeping his championship. Critics of the build have suggested WWE has not fully bolstered Balor’s case as a challenger - potentially undermining his win probability.
Women’s Intercontinental Championship Predictions: Becky Lynch vs AJ Lee
On paper, this is the most unpredictable match on the card. A returning AJ Lee - wrestling in her hometown - is the favourite, reflecting both fan excitement and sportsbook confidence. Her headlining presence alongside her husband Punk further elevates the stakes.
While Lynch is a decorated and resilient champion, AJ’s return narrative and underdog positioning could lead to a surprise title change. If WWE does opt for a predictable result, Lynch could retain - but that might dilute the drama around this matchup, with an AJ win presenting fresh WrestleMania storytelling options.
