With the WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 fast approaching, there could be some big changes ahead for the card.

While there are already several bouts confirmed for the Elimination Chamber event in Chicago on February 28, with still a WWE Raw and SmackDown TV taping left to occur before the event, there may be swerves ahead.

Here are five changes that could happen ahead of WWE Elimination Chamber 2026. (it is six if cody loses)

Special Guest Referee added to Becky Lynch vs. AJ Lee

While it was confirmed that Becky Lynch will put her WWE Intercontinental Championship on the line against AJ Lee at WWE Elimination Chamber, there could still be a swerve yet to come.

If there were to be a special guest referee added to the bout set for Chicago, it may be fun for fans to speculate all week as to who could pop-up.

With wide ranging theories possible from the likes of Bianca Belair to the returning Paige, in the end it could end up being either one of two current stars that make the most sense.

Potentially pitting either Maxxine Dupri or Nattie in the pivotal role, their action (or inaction) could end up continuing the feud along the Road to WrestleMania between Lynch and Lee.

The Vision vs. The Usos added

WWE's The Usos with Austin Theory & Bronson Reed

With the Usos without a bout currently set for WWE Elimination Chamber, they could find themselves facing some interesting challengers.

With the recent injury of Bron Breakker, perhaps it will end up being Bronson Reed and Logan Paul or Austin Theory that could unite to topple the multi-time champs.

While Jimmy Uso recently made it clear in an interview segment that he supported Jey’s continued quest for singles gold, there could be a twist incoming.

Jimmy Uso is known to flip on a dime and could become the perfect new addition to The Vision faction in order to replace Bron Breakker and thereby spinning Jey Uso back out into his own main event missions in the process.

Women’s United States Championship match added

With current Women’s United States Champion Giulia being ruled out of contention for the upcoming Elimination Chamber match on the February 13 edition of WWE SmackDown, perhaps there is something else set for her.

Since there are several potential challengers to Giulia’s title, perhaps the bout will end up happening at Elimination Chamber.

With Zelina Vega still in the hunt for an opportunity as well as any number of potential call-ups from NXT, there could end up being a multi-woman battle for the midcard title.

Able to create a focus for the title at an event on the Road to WrestleMania 42, it could end up that there are still more twists and turns yet to come.

WWE Tag Team Championship match added

A new match that could certainly be added to the Elimination Chamber card may be for the WWE Tag Team Championship.

Having a ten man match on SmackDown on February 13, there may have been a tease about potential bouts yet to be added.

With Solo Sikoa and the MFTs waging war against Carmelo Hayes and Ilja Dragunov as well as Matt Cardona & Apollo Crews with Shinsuke Nakamura, it would seem that there could be two more teams gunning for the titles.

Certainly with numerous configurations of SmackDown teams including the still absent Street Profits and the Motor City Machine Guns, we’ll have to wait to see what comes next for the tag belts.

Brock Lesnar returns

One change that is certain ahead of the Elimination Chamber event is the return of Brock Lesnar.

Already announced to appear on the February 23 edition of WWE Raw on Netflix, it would seem that The Beast is likely to make the cut for the big event.

Potentially joining the titular match, it could end up being the catalyst for a fascinating feud heading into WrestleMania 42.

If recent speculation is to be believed, it maybe LA Knight poised to tangle with Brock Lesnar in Las Vegas, a showdown that could start in Chicago at the Elimination Chamber.
