Following this week's episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, we have a few more updates for the card of the upcoming premium live event WWE Elimination Chamber, set to go down at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois on Saturday, February 28, 2026.
There were two more qualifying Triple Threat matches that took place on tonight's show, first with Alexa Bliss defeating Giulia and Zelina Vega to secure herself one of the spots in the women's division match, while Cody Rhodes went on to beat Jacob Fatu and Sami Zayn to get a spot in the men's match.
Bliss had pinned Zelina for the win and Rhodes picked up a three-count on Zayn, despite heavy interference from Drew McIntyre, who tried to interfere and cost both Fatu and Rhodes, ultimately trying to place Zayn's arm on top of The American Nightmare to influence the outcome.
As far as remaining qualifier matches, Iyo Sky was mentioned as having a qualifier in the future, but it wasn't established who she would be up against, as the next Raw Triple Threat is advertised as Asuka, Bayley, and Nattie. On SmackDown next week, Charlotte Flair faces Nia Jax and Kiana James for the penultimate spot. Over on the men's side, Carmelo Hayes, Trick Williams, and Damian Priest will be on SmackDown vying for entry, after we'll have already known who moves on from Gunther, Dominik Mysterio, and Je'Von Evans, which takes place on Monday Night Raw.
