Randy Orton will participate in an Elimination Chamber match for a record 10th time this weekend in Chicago, Illinois.

This morning, The Viper appeared on ESPN’s Get Up to promote the upcoming premium live event. Randy reflected on his record of most appearances inside the unforgiving structure, adding that he’ll use all his experience this Saturday and win the match.

“Yeah, 10 Elimination Chambers is a lot of Elimination Chambers. I’ve definitely… my body’s been beaten. I’ve been all over that ring and that Chamber, man; it is unforgiving. But I take a lot of experience with myself into that Chamber, and I’m gonna use it this Saturday, and I’m gonna enjoy win the thing and go to WrestleMania, man. I’ve only got so many more years that I’m gonna be able to do this, and I’m enjoying every second of it. So at the Chamber, I gotta make it count,” Orton said.

Randy Orton made his Elimination Chamber debut at Survivor Series 2003, but he had to wait until 2014 to notch up his first victory. That victory came at the namesake event in Minneapolis, where he defended the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Cesaro, Christian, and Sheamus.

Reflecting on that victory, Orton said:

“I believe that was in St. Louis, and I was the bad guy, man. I came out last in the pod. Daniel Bryan was the fan favorite. I ended up winning and going on to the main event, WrestleMania. That was a huge win for me, and I plan on doing it all again this Saturday.”

The current field for the 2026 Men’s Elimination Chamber match, apart from Randy, consists of Cody Rhodes, Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, and LA Knight. The final participant will be determined through a Triple Threat match between Jey Uso, Bronson Reed, and El Grande Americano I on tonight’s RAW.
