The floor has been set for one of the most-anticipated events of the wrestling calendar year – Elimination Chamber 2025; as such, the final confirmations for last participant slots in both men's and women's matches were officially announced. Set to take place in Toronto on March 1st, six men and six women will enter the barbaric structure to compete for a shot at their respective World titles on the grand stage of WrestleMania 41.
Men's Elimination Chamber Match: Last Spot Secured
The momentum for the men's Elimination Chamber match had been building over the past few weeks, with five superstars already qualifying: CM Punk, John Cena, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, and Damian Priest. The last qualifying spot went to Seth Rollins during the February 17 Monday Night Raw.
The man had put Balor through hell in what was truly a grudge match in every sense of the word. Rollins showed tremendous technical skill and great fighting spirit. Balor was relentless in his offense throughout the match, but Rollins managed to outlast him, pinning the inaugural Universal Champion and grabbing that last spot in the Elimination Chamber. This interesting turn of events adds some spice to the whole Elimination Chamber match.
Now the six will battle to earn a title match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, whilst Balor remains embroiled with internal conflicts within The Judgment Day, and with his future in the WWE uncertain.
Confirmed Participants for Men's Elimination Chamber Match:
- CM Punk
- John Cena
