NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE – FEBRUARY 10: Logan Paul in action against Rey Mysterio during Monday Night … [+]
Love him or hate him, Logan Paul has been nothing but impressive in his time with WWE. Paul’s latest appearance, an Elimination Chamber qualifying match against Rey Mysterio, was no exception.
Paul won clean with a right hand and a new finisher called the Paul-Verizer. The win punched Paul’s ticket to the men’s Elimination Chamber on March 1 in Toronto. Before working the strong match with Mysterio, Paul held his own in a mic session with CM Punk in the face of a raucous Nashville, Tennessee, crowd that tried to play him like Dominik Mysterio.
Despite the crowd’s attempts to drown Paul out with boos, the Maverick stared Punk down, didn’t flinch, and put in some solid work.
Paul now joins Punk, John Cena, and Drew McIntyre in the Elimination Chamber field.

On the women’s side, Bayley pinned women’s Intercontinental champion Lyra Valkyria to secure her spot in the women’s Elimination Chamber. I get Bayley being in the match, but I was a little bewildered that she went over clean.
Valkyria is the IC champion and in the midst of a strong push from WWE. Perhaps it’s not that strong, as they allowed her to lose clean to a non-champion. Obviously, it wasn’t a title match, but it felt weird to see her lose that way.
Perhaps Bayley, who isn’t likely to win at the Elimination Chamber, will double back to challenge Valkyria for the IC title. In any case, Bayley joins Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair, and Alexa Bliss in the women’s Elimination Chamber match.

It’s unclear if there will be more matches added to the card. We learned on Raw on February 10 that Rhea Ripley will be defending her WWE Women’s World Championship against Iyo Sky in the episode of Raw after the Elimination Chamber.
Gunther attacked Jey Uso, and the latter chose the former to be his opponent at WrestleMania 41. So it is clear the winner of the men’s Elimination Chamber match will choose Cody Rhodes as their WrestleMania 41 opponent.
Right now, my picks to fill the rest of the men’s Elimination Chamber are Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. That field would make up arguably one of the most star-studded fields the event has ever seen.
On the women’s side, we know Charlotte Flair is coming for Tiffany Stratton, so the winner of the women’s Elimination Chamber is likely going to target Ripley—who I expect to defeat Sky in an entertaining match on March 2.
I’d expect to see Naomi and Nia Jax added to the women’s field. We’ll find out over the next two weeks what the entire Elimination Chamber premium live event will look like.
Don’t rule out a couple of surprises, as it seems WWE aims to make the Road to WrestleMania an even bigger deal in 2025 and moving forward than it has been in the past.
I’m here for it.
