WWE presented the premium live event Elimination Chamber from Perth, and the incredible performance down under lived up to the hype.
While home favourite Rhea Ripley battled Nia Jax for the women’s world championship, two Chamber fights took place to reveal who will challenge in the remaining world title matchups at WrestleMania.
In other matches, the Kabuki Warriors defended their tag belts against Indi Hartwell and Candice LeRae, while New Catch Republic faced The Judgement Day.
Additionally active were Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, who were guests on the Grayson Waller Effect.

Nia Jax lost to Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World title.
Rhea Ripley defeated Nia Jax with the riptide in a very violent match, securing a match against Lynch at ‘Mania.
In front of 52,500 spectators, Jax managed to send her opponent—whose family was present at the ringside—through the announce table, but a superplex from the top rope was sufficient to finish her off and guarantee Ripley’s victory.
Becky Lynch defeated Tiffany Stratton, Liv Morgan, Naomi, Bianca Belair, and Raquel Rodriguez in the women’s elimination chamber.
Following a wild conclusion to the match that might have seen three different women win their way to WrestleMania, Becky Lynch emerged victorious. The Irish superstar will take on Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 40.
Mostly by balancing each other out with a string of blows and pin attempts (none of which came near, mind you), Lynch and Naomi got things going in the Chamber.
The action picked up speed as soon as Tiffany Stratton entered the match. Like she did at the Royal Rumble in January, the SmackDown rookie made the most of her minutes tonight.
The next person into the fray was Liv Morgan, who had the standard equivalent of a hot tag. After Lynch used her Dis-Arm-Her on Stratton outside the cage, Stratton was able to get out before running into Naomi again.
Morgan succeeded in pulling Stratton back into the ring, but Naomi met her with a div from the top of the pod, setting up a spectacular neckbreaker.
Naomi was eliminated by Stratton, who made the most of the effect and quickly scored one, two, and three. Raquel Rodriguez joined the match a short while later.
They couldn’t get rid of the powerhouse even though the three ladies banded together to attack Rodriguez and attempted to pin her at the same moment. Bianca Belair, the last competitor and another formidable woman, joined them shortly after.
With every woman putting in her best effort to win, Stratton stole the show with a dive upon every opponent from the top of the pod. Unfortunately for the Perth live audience, she took a flatliner from the top rope and was eliminated by Morgan a few moments later.
Gonzalez left when Belair was awarded K.O.D. However, Lynch was the one who ambushed Morgan with a Man-Handle smash right after Morgan had dealt with Belair, right at the end when all three ladies believed they had it.
The Judgement Day (Damien Priest and Finn Balor) defeated New Catch Republic (Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne) for the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championships.
The first person to feel the power of the New Catch Republic was Dominik Mysterio, who wasn’t even involved in the match. As he attempted to introduce his Judgement Day comrades to a chorus of jeers, he was forcefully pushed out of the ring.
Thanks to Dunne’s coordinated attacks and Bate’s agility, the babyfaces had a great start.
Naturally, the heels quickly gained control of the match, and Dirty Dom even joined in from the side-lines.
It seemed like Tyler Bate’s helicopter spin on Damien Priest would never end, but it knocked down Senor Money in the Bank long enough for Dunne to attack Balot in the final moments, only for Mysterio to intervene and move Balor’s leg under the rope to save the day.
One of the biggest reactions of the evening came from Optus Stadium when the referee sent Dom to the back for that infraction.
Dunne and Bate really came to play, confirming what many of us in the UK have known for years: they are two of the greatest performers in the world. Priest managed to survive some terrific double teaming from the British.
Priest chokeslammed Dunne and Bate from the top rope during the match’s conclusion, and Balor then executed a Coupe de Grace to win. An extremely fun game.
Men’s Elimination Chamber: Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, Logan Paul, and LA Knight defeated by Drew McIntyre
Early on, Drew McIntyre didn’t waste any time making fun of his arch rival CM Punk’s effort to execute his finishing move, Go To Sleep.
Kevin Owens resembled a canine maniac. When challenged by Paul, he smashed his skull on his own pod. When he was eventually freed and faced with Owens, Paul attempted to remain imprisoned.
Paul and Owens were eliminated by Bobby Lashley when he was hit with a claymore thrown by McIntyre.
The bout was ruined for LA Knight by AJ Styles’s interference, and then Paul used his renowned brass knuckles. Nevertheless, he consumed an RKO to leave us with Orton and McIntyre before he could use them.
Paul again intervened and, understandably, the Scot prevailed, taking Orton out in a fit of rage. At WrestleMania, he will have the opportunity to triumph in front of an audience.
