The Road to WrestleMania 41 has already started now that the 2025 Royal Rumble matches are out of the way, meaning the next step is to hit a roadblock with the giant Elimination Chamber contests set for March 1, 2025 at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Heading into tonight's episode of WWE Raw, the only person confirmed to be participating in either of those matches was John Cena, who declared himself an entrant during the Royal Rumble press conference.
On tonight's show, though, CM Punk defeated Sami Zayn to earn another spot in the men's match, much to the dismay of Seth Rollins, who had cut a promo prior to the match rooting on Zayn to steal that opportunity away from The Second City Savior.
Also, Liv Morgan earned the first women's spot by defeating Iyo Sky. This came about through a disqualification finish wherein Rhea Ripley inadvertently struck Morgan while she was going after Raquel Rodriguez as a means to try to get some revenge on the duo for how they had attacked Ripley and Iyo Sky in a backstage segment before the match had started. Naturally, Sky was upset with Ripley for accidentally costing her that opportunity, so it will be interesting to see if WWE does any sort of "last chance" qualifying matches where she can get back into the mix, or if she's just lost her only shot.
Three upcoming qualifying matches were announced, with two of them confirmed for next week.
Bayley will face the women's intercontinental champion Lyra Valkyria to determine spot #2 in the Women's Elimination Chamber, while two more spots in the men's match will be settled between The Judgment Day's Finn Balor vs. Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio vs. Logan Paul.
Noteworthy, Paul interfered in Mysterio's match this week, costing him and Dragon Lee a tag team fight against The New Day.
This brings the current lineup for the 2025 WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view to the following two matches:
- Men's Elimination Chamber No. 1 Contender's Match: John Cena vs. CM Punk vs. (Finn Balor or Seth Rollins) vs. (Rey Mysterio or Logan Paul) vs. TBA vs. TBA
- Women's Elimination Chamber No. 1 Contender's Match: Liv Morgan vs. (Bayley or Lyra Valkyria) vs. TBA vs. TBA vs. TBA vs. TBA
