Rhea Ripley and Randy Orton win the Elimination Chamber 2026 matches

Rhea Ripley and Randy Orton punched their tickets to WrestleMania after they each won their respective Elimination Chamber match last night in Chicago.

Ripley, a favorite to win, was the overwhelming most popular in the match, with the crowd exploding when her theme song hit. The former champion pinned Tiffany Stratton with the Riptide to end the match and earn herself a title shot.

She will now take on Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42 for the WWE Women’s title.

Meanwhile, Randy Orton was the surprise winner of the men’s Elimination Chamber match, pinning favorite Cody Rhodes to win. Drew McIntyre interfered in the match and was beating up on Cody when Orton went for the save and hit an RKO. McIntyre jumped straight into a Cross Rhodes after that but Orton outsmarted Rhodes and delivered an immediate RKO for the pinfall.

Orton will now face McIntyre – assuming he’s still the champion – at WrestleMania 42.
