Randy Orton has punched his ticket to WrestleMania 42, as he last-eliminated Cody Rhodes to win the 2026 Men’s Elimination Chamber Match at the namesake premium live event in Chicago, Illinois.

Cody Rhodes and Je’Von Evans started off the proceedings, but it wasn’t until all the participants entered the match that eliminations started to take place. Logan Paul, who entered at No. 3, was initially attacked by the trio of Cody, Je’Von, and Trick Williams.

However, Paul had the last laugh, as he eliminated both Evans and Williams. Evans was the first participant to be eliminated. After taking out Williams with a Five-Star Frog Splash, The Young OG fell victim to Logan’s PAULVERIZER. Paul’s next target was LA Knight. He low-blowed the Megastar and rolled him up to secure a pinfall.

He then eliminated Trick Williams after capitalizing on the Cross Rhodes that Cody had delivered to the former NXT Champion. Following this, a masked man emerged from nowhere and started climbing the steel structure. However, he was taken down by security officials. As Trick Williams exited the Chamber, another masked man emerged and entered the structure. He kicked and Stomped Paul, allowing Cody to pin the Vision member. The hooded figure revealed himself to be Seth Rollins.

As Cody and Randy Orton got ready to battle, Drew McIntyre entered the fray and tried to take out The American Nightmare with the WWE Title belt. Cody and Drew exchanged blows before Randy took out McIntyre with the RKO. Cody then planted the Scottish Warrior with the Cross Rhodes, only to go down to an RKO from The Viper.

This is Orton’s second Elimination Chamber victory. He previously won the stipulation match in 2014. The 14-time World Champion will now challenge Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Title at WrestleMania 42.

Order of Eliminations

1) Je’Von Evans (by Logan Paul via pinfall)
2) LA Knight (by Logan Paul via pinfall)
3) Trick Williams (by Logan Paul via pinfall)
4) Logan Paul (by Cody Rhodes via pinfall)
