Randy Orton Earns Spot In Men’s Elimination Chamber Match During 2/6 WWE SmackDown

WWE SmackDown on February 6, 2026, took place at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. This was a big episode as the road to Elimination Chamber continued.

During the show, WWE ran qualifying matches for the upcoming Elimination Chamber premium live event. The 2026 WWE Elimination Chamber is set for February 28, 2026, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.

This match went down as the final segment of the night. Prior to the match, Drew McIntyre cut a promo on Roman Reigns, and then Trick Williams came out to declare that he’s watching the main event, and he can’t wait to take his lemon pepper steppers into a World Title match. Needless to say, the title scene is very interesting.

This match was back-and-forth. Fans were mostly behind Randy Orton as the biggest babyface in the match. They fought through a commercial break, and none of the competitors backed down at all. Randy Orton got the crowd going in a big way as he hit Black with a scoop slam, but then Solo reversed out of a draping DDT. Solo took a few bumps on the announce table after that, and then Black took one from Orton for good measure.

The match continued as Sikoa nailed a Spinning Solo on Aleister Black for a near fall. Then he prepared for a Samoan Spike, but Black got out of that and nailed a big knee followed by another one for a near fall of his own.

In the end, Randy Orton readied himself for an RKO, but he didn’t hit it on Black the first time. Then Orton nailed the RKO, but Black rolled out of the ring. Then Solo Sikoa got ready for a Samoan Spike as Orton got to his feet. However, Orton knew Solo was there, and he nailed an RKO for the win to get a spot in the Elimination Chamber. That will also mark his 10th Elimination Chamber match.

We will have to see who else joins the Elimination Chamber match. At this point, the road to WrestleMania is heating up in huge fashion.

The Men’s Elimination Chamber qualifier saw Aleister Black taking on Solo Sikoa and Randy Orton in a separate Triple Threat match.
