WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 saw Rhea Ripley punch her ticket to WrestleMania after winning the Women’s Elimination Chamber match, earning a shot at the WWE Women’s Championship currently held by Jade Cargill. Ripley secured the victory by pinning Tiffany Stratton after surviving a brutal contest that also featured Raquel Rodriguez, Kiana James, Asuka, and Alexa Bliss.
Rhea Ripley Faced Off Against Fast-Paced Stars
The match began with James and Stratton, two former gymnasts whose athletic backgrounds led to a fast-paced opening exchange. Stratton attempted a back handspring elbow, but James avoided the strike, causing Stratton to crash into one of the chamber pods. Asuka entered next, and James immediately rushed her pod, trying to attack before she could get fully involved. Asuka quickly turned the tables, beating James down and smashing Stratton into Bliss’ pod.
James later slingshotted Stratton face-first into the steel cage just as Ripley entered the match. Rhea Ripley made an immediate impact, delivering a Razor’s Edge to Stratton and tossing her into Asuka to keep the chaos going.
At one point, Ripley and Bliss squared off in the center of the ring, each countering the other’s finishing move. Bliss climbed to the top of the chamber structure while the other competitors fought below, then launched a crossbody that wiped out nearly everyone in the match. James was the only one left standing, but when she attempted to capitalize with a Sister Abigail, Asuka sprayed Bliss with the mist. Taking advantage of the moment, James rolled Bliss up to score the first elimination.
Raquel Rodriguez Serious Threat to Ripley
Rodriguez was the final entrant and immediately used her power advantage to dominate the field. She bulldozed through multiple opponents, even sending James crashing through a pod. Rodriguez then slammed Asuka onto James, stacking both competitors and pinning them simultaneously to eliminate them from the match.
Rhea Ripley responded with a daring cannonball from the top of a pod onto Rodriguez. Moments later, Stratton delivered the Prettiest Moonsault Ever, eliminating Rodriguez and leaving only Ripley and Stratton.
The final stretch became a one-on-one battle between the two. Stratton hit an Alabama Slam and nearly won after connecting with a Swanton Bomb, but Ripley kicked out. Stratton attempted another high-risk moonsault, but Ripley countered by launching her into a nearby pod from the top turnbuckle. Ripley followed with the Riptide to secure the victory and the WrestleMania title opportunity.
