TORONTO – Kicking off the show, Canadian legend Trish Stratus made her way to the ring, donning a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey. She hyped up the crowd and expressed gratitude for being able to step back in the ring again especially in front of her kids for the first time. She then introduced the WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton. The two talk about how they are in sync with one another and that’s what will bring them the win over Nia Jax and Candice LeRae at the elimination chamber. 

Chelsea Green and Piper Niven interrupt them. She claims no one wants to see them and that life got better and she left her home country of canada. Stratton in a fighting mood challenges Green to a match, green tries to refuse but General Manager Nick Aldis sent a ref to the ring for a champion vs champion match up.

Tiffany Stratton vs. Chelsea Green:

Green controlled the early pace, landing a Step Up Enzuigiri and a Sliding Flatliner for a near fall. Stratton fought back with a flurry of offense, including a Belly-to-Back Suplex and a Spinebuster. Green nearly stole the win with the Rough Ryder, but Stratton regained momentum with a Rolling Senton and a Double Foot Stomp. Just as Stratton was closing in on victory, chaos erupted. Nia Jax and Candice LeRae blindsided Stratton and Trish Stratus, forcing the disqualification. 

Post-match, Jax brutalized Stratton, but Stratus fought back, fending off Jax and standing tall.

Jacob Fatu vs. Andrade WWE United States Championship #1 Contender’s Tournament First Round Match)

A high-paced battle from the opening bell, Andrade knew he had to take the fight to Fatu. He connected with big moves like a Flying Crossbody and Orihara Moonsault. Fatu countered with raw power, slamming Andrade onto the announce table and delivering a Pop-Up Samoan Drop. 

Andrade rallied with a Reverse Hurricanrana and Shotgun Meteora, but Fatu wouldn’t stay down. In the closing moments, Fatu unleashed a relentless barrage—Running Hip Attacks, an Impaler DDT, and a picture-perfect Double Jump Moonsault to seal the victory and move one step closer to title contention.

The Street Profits vs. Los Garza

This match never had a chance to begin as an all-out brawl broke out before the bell. #DIY ambushed The Profits on the ramp, igniting a chaotic melee that saw every major team in the division throw hands. Pretty Deadly got involved, delivering a Big Boot to Dawkins, while The Motor City Machine Guns entered the fray, wiping out #DIY at ringside. With security failing to restore order, the brawl spilled across the arena, leaving destruction in its wake. 

Men’s Elimination Chamber Competitors Confront Each Other:

Drew McIntyre enters the ring interrupting a highlight package for John Cena. He goes on about how he isn’t scared of Cena and will verbally destroy him. In a direct shot at CM Punk he sits on the announce table crossed legged and questions what 2010 Cena would think of 2025 Cena. He calls Cena a Hollywood sell out and says he used to be scared of him because Cena could end careers. Not anymore though and at the Chamber he is going to bury Cena. He goes on to say how he was screwed over in 2024.

Enter Damien Priest. 

He called McIntryre out for always complaining even though he had a great year, also telling him he has an obsession with CM Punk. He tells McIntryre he’s going to enjoy pinning him tomorrow night and that he can drop him in the middle of the ring tonight if he wants. 

Enter Seth Rollins.

He recalls the three men’s time at Money In the Bank last year and tells them this is a different Seth Rollins from last year, meaning they have no chance to win.

Enter CM Punk.

Punk verbally attacks all three men and even throws Cena’s name into the mix. Punk says they all better get serious, it’s not about them it’s about him. Rollins claims he’ll let Punk main event Wrestlemania over his dead body. 

Que John Cena’s music.

Enter Logan Paul. 

The crowd let him hear the boos for the trick. Paul smack talks every man staking his claim to win the match. When Punk threatens him he runs away though. 

LA Knight vs. Santos Escobar (WWE United States Championship #1 Contender’s Tournament First Round Match)

The two struggled early, being very evenly matched. Knight gained the upper hand with classic Knight moves. Escobar countered by sending Knight to the outside. Knight tried to recover, but Escobar hit him with a back body drop to the apron, causing Knight's neck to snap against the ropes. Knight later fought back, sending Escobar hard into the steel steps.

Escobar regained control in the ring but Knight quickly turned the tide with a jumping neckbreaker. After a series of near falls, including a reversal from Escobar that saw Knight face-first into the turnbuckle after a drop toehold, Knight came back with boots to Escobar in the corner. Escobar nearly hit an avalanche frankensteiner, but Knight blocked it, hitting a BFT out of midair for the win.

Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens Promo

Zayn took the mic and addressed Owens, calling him out for a final confrontation before their big match. Zayn, speaking emotionally, admitted that while he wasn’t nervous about what might happen to him in the ring, he was nervous about the toll the match might take on their friendship. He expressed that if Owens’ family couldn’t forgive him after what he was willing to do to KO, he’d live with that consequence, even if it meant ending Owens’ career. Owens responded on the jumbotron. Standing in the arena where their match would take place the following night. He expressed that he wasn’t the villain in this story and that everything happening to Sami was his fault. Owens made it clear that after the fight, when Zayn was unable to care for his family, he would not help him, instead, he would watch them suffer. The promo ended with both men making it clear that their match the next night would be the final chapter.

Braun Strowman vs. Carmelo Hayes (WWE United States Championship #1 Contender’s Tournament First Round Match)

Strowman immediately used his strength to take control, tossing Hayes around the ring and outside. Hayes attempted to mount a comeback but was cut off by Strowman’s dominance. However, the match quickly took a turn when Tama Tonga interfered, distracting Strowman. Solo Sikoa followed suit, smashing Strowman with a chair, though the monster shrugged it off and used the chair to lay out Sikoa. As Strowman went to toss Tonga back into the ring, Hayes took the opportunity to fake a chair shot, getting the referee’s attention. With the referee distracted, the chair was taken from Strowman’s hands, and Carmelo Hayes was declared the winner via disqualification. 

Post-match, Strowman wasn’t finished and proceeded to decimate Tonga, throwing him into the ring for a massive release powerbomb.

Bayley, Bianca Belair, & Naomi vs. Judgment Day (Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez) & Roxanne Perez

Bayley,  Belair, and Naomi worked as a cohesive team, while Judgment Day and Perez showed off their chemistry as a faction. There were several key spots, including Bayley hitting a Bayley-to-Belly suplex on Perez and Naomi tagging in with a series of high-impact moves.
