On Saturday night, WWE will hold the Elimination Chamber, the final Premium Live Event before WrestleMania. The card features two title matches—CM Punk defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor, and AJ Lee challenges Becky Lynch for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship, in her first singles match in over a decade. But the two Elimination Chamber matches carry even higher stakes.
In one, Rhea Ripley, Asuka, Tiffany Stratton, Kiana James, Raquel Rodriguez, and Alexa Bliss will battle for a chance to challenge WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill at WrestleMania. And a shot at Drew McIntyre’s WWE Undisputed Championship is at stake in the men’s match between Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Trick Williams, LA Knight, Jey Uso, and Je’Von Evans.
The rules for the Elimination Chamber match are simple: A giant steel structure covers the ring and ringside area. Two participants start the match. Every five minutes, a wrestler is released from one of the pods (or chambers). Wrestlers are eliminated only via pinfall or submission. The winner of the match is the last remaining participant.
