All four WrestleMania world title matches will take place following the conclusion of Saturday's Elimination Chamber event in Perth, Australia. There were no major surprises at the event as Drew McIntyre and Becky Lynch emerged victorious from their respective Elimination Chamber matches, who will then go on to compete for titles at the biggest show of the year.
McIntyre got a big hand from Logan Paul, who had already been eliminated from the match, when Paul ran back and took out Randy Orton with brass knuckles. Lynch's victory was far less controversial, as “The Man” simply outlasted the five other participants in the match and secured her shot at the Women's World Championship.
That title was on the line in the evening's main event as champion Rhea Ripley thrilled her home crowd with a dramatic victory over Nia Jax. Ripley's victory sets up the title defense against Lynch at WrestleMania.
Additionally, both the men's and women's tag team champions were in action on Saturday, with both defending champions picking up big victories. The Kabuki Warriors proved to be too much for Indi Hartwell and Candice LaRae. Meanwhile, Judgment Day members Damian Priest and Finn Balor took care of Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate.
CBS Sports was with you throughout the event, providing you with updates and highlights as the action continued in the live blog below.
WWE Elimination Chamber 2024 results, grades
WWE Women's Tag Team Championship – The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) (c) vs. Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell (Kickoff Match): The challengers got off to a good start with both Hartwell and LeRae taking the fight against Asuka and Sane. It didn't take long for LeRae to feel isolated from her partner. After a long period of preparation for the hot day, LeRae finally switched to Hartwell, who quickly asserted himself through the offense against the champions. The challengers got a few near falls before Sane intervened as Hartwell helped LeRae climb to the top rope and took both challengers to the floor. Sane then delivered the elbow drop to LeRae for the pinfall victory. Hartwell was obviously the hometown favorite in this game, but didn't have the decisive moment. Like so many games on kickoff shows, there wasn't much meat to the game, but it was perfectly serviceable for what it was. Result: The Kabuki Warriors (c) def. Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell retain the titles. Grade B-
Women’s Elimination Chamber Match – Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair vs. Liv Morgan vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Naomi vs. Raquel Rodriguez: Lynch and Naomi were the two women who started in the ring. They made a few counterattacks and trades that worked before getting started on the platform around the ring. Naomi had one of the first highlights of the match when she dropped her split legdrop on Lynch after climbing halfway up the wall of the chamber. The next woman to come into play was Stratton. After the newcomer's usual hot offense, a rhythm settled in again with Stratton, Lynch and Naomi swapping plays and trying to score the game's first elimination goal.
Morgan came into play next and immediately began throwing Stratton against the plexiglass walls of the pods. Lynch stuck Stratton's arm through the chain-link wall of the chamber before locking in an armbar. Moments later, Stratton scored the first elimination when she pinned Naomi after Naomi hit Morgan with a sunset flip bomb. Rodriguez came into the game after Naomi was eliminated. Lynch, Morgan and Stratton began working together to eliminate the major threat of Rodriguez.
Once Belair entered the game, the big action increased, with a lot more action on the pods. Stratton hit a Diving Swanton from the top of the pod on Lynch, Rodriguez and Belair. Stratton was the next woman eliminated when Morgan hit a flatliner from the second rope. Rodriguez was eliminated shortly after a KOD from Belair. Belair then took over the game for a while, throwing Morgan and Lynch around. Morgan stole a pin from Belair after Lynch countered a KOD, but Morgan converted a manhandle slam from Lynch to end the match.
Aside from Lynch punching her ticket to a title shot at WrestleMania, the story of the match may be Stratton, who put on a fantastic performance and won over the crowd so much that Morgan was booed for eliminating her. Result: Becky Lynch wins, Liv Morgan is the last to be pinned. Grade: B+
Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship – Judgment Day (Damian Priest & Finn Balor) (c) vs. Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate: Bate and Dunne came out quickly and took the fight straight to the champions with relentless offense. Balor had to survive this blitz before Priest finally got a blind tag to get into the match and immediately began punishing Bate. Priest and Balor – with some cheap shots from Dominik Mysterio at ringside – then worked over Bate while fending him off from his own corner. After receiving the hot tag, Dunne hit Balor and Priest with a moonsault from the top rope to the outside. The momentum swung back and forth, with both teams almost snatching victory. Dunne hit Balor with “The Bitter End”, but Mysterio pushed Balor's foot under the bottom rope to break the pin, resulting in Mysterio being thrown from ringside by the referee. After a double Tyler driver against Balor, the challengers almost won the match again, but Priest broke the pin. The match continued to swing back and forth until Balor finally landed a coup de grace and scored the victory.
This was a fantastic tag match. There was no real drama about who would win, but the action was fast-paced and all four men delivered. Result: Judgment Day def. Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate retain the title via pinfall. Grade: A-
Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins appeared in The Grayson Waller Effect. The biggest news in this segment was Rollins saying he was just days away from being medically cleared to compete, and Rhodes saying he wanted to go one-on-one with The Rock, anytime, anywhere. Rollins told Rhodes that he would have his back whenever this match took place because The Bloodline is never about one-on-one fights. The segment ended with Rollins and Rhodes defeating Austin Theory.
Men's Elimination Chamber Match – Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton vs. Bobby Lashley vs. LA Knight vs. Kevin Owens vs. Logan Paul: Knight and McIntyre got the match going. Surprisingly, Knight delivered the bulk of the attack during the opening run, including ramming McIntyre's head into Owens' pod while Owens hit the other side of the plexiglass. Owens was next man in. He went on the expected run, scoring a few near-eliminations against both Knight and McIntyre, but all three men remained in the match until Bobby Lashley's bracket opened.
Lashley and McIntyre had a pretty intense fight before Knight and Owens got involved again, but again, no one was eliminated before the next entrant, in this case Randy Orton. Orton delivered the hanging DDT to the platform outside the ring and began clasping his back, which remained this way every time Orton delivered or made a move. As Paul entered as the final participant, Orton waited outside his pod to attack immediately.
Lashley finally handed Paul a spear, driving it through the plexiglass of one of the pods. Moments later, McIntyre hit Lashley with a claymore, scoring the first elimination hit of the game. Knight gave Orton and then McIntyre a Blunt Force Trauma, but as he tried to score the pin, AJ Styles ran into the chamber and hit Knight with a chair before performing a Styles Clash on the same chair. This allowed McIntyre to grab Knight and pin him. After delivering a few stunners, Owens was caught by an Orton RKO for the elimination.
Paul pulled out the brass knuckles but couldn't use them before Orton came in with an RKO for another elimination, leaving just Orton and McIntyre to capture the title from Seth Rollins at WrestleMania. A spinebuster from McIntyre left Orton on the floor clutching his back. McIntyre set up the Claymore, but Orton stayed down. With McIntyre standing over Orton, Orton exploded with an RKO, but before he could get the pin, Paul ran back and surprised him with his brass knuckles. McIntyre took advantage and pinned Orton to punch his ticket to WrestleMania.
Half a step back to the Women's Chamber match, but still mostly good stuff as everything continues to move towards WrestleMania. Result: Drew McIntyre wins, last Randy Orton is pinned. Grade B
Women's World Championship – Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Nia Jax: Unsurprisingly, the crowd was completely behind Ripley. Jax got off to a fast start, flooring Ripley with strikes including a headbutt. Jax also hit the champion with a senton and a leg drop. Ripley eventually tried to fight back by grabbing a guillotine choke, but Jax continued to dominate by firing off a series of powerbombs. Every time Ripley built some momentum, it was interrupted by a big move from Jax, like a Samoan drop on the second rope.
After the action spilled outside, Jax dropped Ripley onto the announce table with another Samoan drop before firing a splash through the table. Back in the ring, Jax delivered an Annihilator, but Ripley managed to kick him out. Ripley escaped the hit of a second Annihilator and hit a superplex. That was enough to set up Riptide and the pinfall to retain the championship.
It's fun to see a dominant and physical champion have to work from underneath in a match, which is what Ripley had to do in this match. It wasn't anything special, but it was a great match in front of a packed crowd and now Ripley heads to WrestleMania where she will defend her title against Becky Lynch. Result: Rhea Ripley defeated. Nia Jax wins the title via pinfall. Grade B
