With WWE Elimination Chamber in Chicago set to host not only the titular bouts but other top matches as well, there could be some big changes up next.
Expecting returns as well as some possible reveals, the Elimination Chamber could prove pivotal in switching up a few things on WWE Raw on Netflix on the road to WrestleMania 42.
Here are seven changes that could be coming to the WWE Raw after Elimination Chamber 2026.
7. Brock Lesnar vs. LA Knight Takes Center Stage
It would seem that the Beast is back on WWE Raw with speculation that there could be a new rivalry ahead for Brock Lesnar.
Plans as of late January reportedly called for Lesnar to face LA Knight at WrestleMania 42.
An easy way to get there would be to bring up Knight’s recurring issues with The Vision – with Paul Heyman being the link.
With Lesnar acting as a physical foil to Knight’s masterful skills on the mic, there could be some WrestleMania headlines incoming.

6. Roman Reigns Appears
One expected return sometime in the near future is that of the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns.
As is typical for his schedule – the closer to WrestleMania, the more likely it may be that fans get to see Roman Reigns live and in-person.
Set to appear WWE Raw after Elimination Chamber, Reigns’ match with CM Punk in Las Vegas could end up getting even bigger.
Reigns is also set to appear four more times after that on the road to WrestleMania ahead of his main event World Title match with Punk.

5. Masked Man Revealed
With there being a rogue masked man on the loose in WWE, he is seemingly intent on targeting The Vision.
Taking out Bron Breakker before he was able to enter the Royal Rumble bout, he’s also taken out Austin Theory and Logan Paul in recent weeks.
While the mystery assailant remains unknown, it would make sense for the reveal to happen at the Elimination Chamber event.
With potential names ranging from Grayson Waller to Seth Rollins, the reveal with no doubt play a big part in The Vision’s lead-up to WrestleMania.

4. New Women’s Intercontinental Champion
While their feud has continued on WWE Raw, it could be that Becky Lynch’s conflict with AJ Lee is winding down.
With a Women’s Intercontinental Championship match set for Elimination Chamber, there could be a title change in store.
Potentially leading to an interesting series of events, the win for AJ Lee could come as a personal slight to others on the roster.
Inspiring another vicious attack by Nattie, it could be that the likes of Bayley or even Lyra Valkyria are inspired to turn heel in order to take on AJ Lee.

3. Seth Rollins Returns
There might be no sweeter way for Seth Rollins to return than to cost CM Punk the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the latter’s hometown at Elimination Chamber – but it does seem unlikely.
With Punk taking on Finn Balor, unless there has been a major swerve in creative direction for the marquee bouts at WrestleMania 42, it would seem that Punk will retain.
Rollins also has a major issue with The Vision after Bron Breakker kicked him out of the group when he sufferred an injury last October.
Whatever the direction, Rollins has said numerous times he’s targeting a WrestleMania return, and it seems like that is still on course to happen.

2. Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY Lose WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship
While the tag team of Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY has been a great deal of fun, it does seem as though their pairing could be ending soon.
With a renewed feud between Nia Jax and Charlotte Flair on SmackDown and Jax’s tag team with Lash Legend rising the ranks, it would make complete sense to see that be the title program at WrestleMania 42.
However, with RHIYO still holding the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship going into Elimination Chamber, their likely loss could come on the Raw after the Chamber event.
With either Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair or Nia Jax and Lash Legend able to capture the title to move forward into the road to WrestleMania 42, a big change could be in the works for Ripley and SKY.

1. Danhausen arrives on Netflix
With a mysterious crate being bounced between Adam Pearce on WWE Raw and Nick Aldis on SmackDown, it is anyone’s guess what is really being contained in it.
However, with the date on the crate being the same as Elimination Chamber in Chicago, it would be the perfect time for Danhausen to emerge in WWE.
Joining CM Punk on Raw, Danhausen would make the perfect backstage trouble maker that Netflix needs.
After being kept off of AEW TV for over two years, it would seem that Danhausen would be particularly well received in Chicago.
