On tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, the final two Triple Threat qualifying matches took place to determine the remaining spots left to fill in the men's and women's Elimination Chamber matches for this year's WWE Elimination Chamber premium live event, scheduled to go down this Saturday, February 28, 2026 at the United Center in Chicago.

First up for the night was the men's Triple Threat qualifying match, with Big Bronson Reed, "Main Event" Jey Uso, and The Original El Grande Americano (Chad Gable).

Jey Uso ended up walking away with the victory by pinning Americano.

However, this may not be what was originally planned. According to @WrestleVotes, Bronson Reed was supposed to qualify instead.

We would later find out that this is because Reed has suffered a distal bicep tear, likely during this sequence:

He will be out indefinitely as this will udoubtedly require surgery, making this the third Superstar involved with The Vision to go down with an injury, hampering whatever plans WWE might have had for Reed throughout The Road to WrestleMania 42, let alone at The Showcase of the Immortals itself.

This makes the updated lineup for WWE Elimination Chamber to be the following card:

  • Women's Intercontinental Championship Match: Becky Lynch (c) vs AJ Lee
  • World Heavyweight Championship Match: CM Punk (c) vs Finn Balor 
  • Women's Elimination Chamber Match: Rhea Ripley vs Tiffany Stratton vs Alexa Bliss vs Asuka vs Kiana James vs Raquel Rodriguez
  • Men's Elimination Chamber Match: LA Knight vs Randy Orton vs Cody Rhodes vs Je'Von Evans vs Trick Williams vs Jey Uso

As Liv Morgan picked Stephanie Vaquer to challenge for WrestleMania, this means the Women's Elimination Chamber match will be contested to figure out who faces Jade Cargill with the WWE Women's Championship on the line.
