Rhea Ripley punched her ticket to WrestleMania 42, as she won the 2026 Women’s Elimination Chamber match at the namesake event at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.

Ripley last eliminated Tiffany Stratton via pinfall to set up the WWE Women’s Championship match against Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42. The match was kick-started by Stratton and Kiana James. Alexa Bliss, who entered at fourth, was the first person to be eliminated after Kiana James rolled her up for a pinfall after Asuka took out the former Women’s Champion by spitting mist in her face.

Raquel Rodriguez, who was the last entrant in the match, showcased immense dominance and secured two eliminations. She powerslammed Kiana James through one of the pods and subsequently executed the Tejana Bomb on Asuka and stacked them up to secure a double pinfall.

Raquel was eventually eliminated by Tiffany Stratton, who pinned her after executing The Prettiest Moonsault Ever, setting up a mouth-watering contest between the former WWE Women’s Champion and Rhea Ripley.

Ripley emerged triumphant after she disrupted Stratton’s attempt to nail her finisher and executed the Riptide for the decisive pinfall.

Order of Eliminations:

1) Alexa Bliss (by Kiana James via pinfall)
2) Asuka & Kiana James (by Raquel Rodriguez via pinfalls)
3) Raquel Rodriguez (by Tiffany Stratton via pinfall)
4) Tiffany Stratton (by Rhea Ripley via pinfall)
