Randy Orton Wins WWE Men’s Elimination Chamber Match

The Elimination Chamber match is one of WWE’s most dangerous situations. This was certainly true when a spot for WrestleMania was on the line.

The 2026 Elimination Chamber went down in Chicago, Illinois, on February 28. The men’s Elimination Chamber match was a brutal encounter, and fans couldn’t wait to see who would get to take on Drew McIntyre at the Showcase of the Immortals.

This year’s Men’s Elimination Chamber match saw Randy Orton vs. LA Knight vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Je’Von Evans vs. Trick Williams vs. Logan Paul.

The entrants in the match came in the order of Trick Williams, LA Knight, Logan Paul, Randy Orton, Je’Von Evans, and Cody Rhodes. Since Rhodes and Evans were the final two to come out, they started the match.

Trick Williams entered the match first after Je’Von Evans and Cody Rhodes wrestled for a bit. Then Logan Paul’s pod opened next without any eliminations. Then LA Knight entered the match next. Randy Orton entered the match as the final competitor, and he entered with his guns blazing.

Logan Paul was able to take Je’Von Evans out of the match with a pinfall, but the Young OG got his spots in. At one point, LA Knight nailed Cody Rhodes with a Burning Hammer, a move that is usually illegal, and the American Nightmare kicked out.

LA Knight botched a big elbow drop on Randy Orton, and that was embarrassing. Right after that, Logan Paul eliminated LA Knight. That didn’t seem like an accident, and we have to wonder if LA Knight hurt himself a lot backstage with that botch.

Trick Williams missed a Trick Shot on Logan Paul. Then Cody Rhodes hit Trick with a Crossroads before Logan sent Cody into the post, and then he stole the pinfall to eliminate Trick Williams.

The final three in the match were Logan Paul, Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes. The masked man rushed the ring, and he tried to climb the chamber, but security pulled him away. Adam Pearce ran down and unmasked the man, but he was a nobody. Then another masked man entered the open door to the chamber. He approached Logan Paul and nailed him with a Stomp before Cody Rhodes pinned him.

At that point, the masked man revealed himself as Seth Rollins. The Chicago crowd erupted into a huge pop as Rollins revealed that he was back. Paul Heyman screamed “no!!” the whole time as Wade Barrett asked whether Rollins should be recovering from shoulder surgery.

Then Drew McIntyre showed up and he tried to get involved. Cody Rhodes took out McIntyre and then Randy Orton hit him with an RKO to win the match and punch his ticket to WrestleMania, where he will face Drew McIntyre for the WWE Undisputed Championship.
