On Saturday, February 28, WWE will present their final major stop before WrestleMania 42 with the Elimination Chamber 2026 premium live event.
The company has already announced two big title matches to go along with the Men’s and Women’s Elimination Chamber matches for the show.
However, there could be even more bouts added to the lineup, which may result in a few surprising winners for this PLE.
Here are our predictions for every winner at WWE Elimination Chamber 2026.
7. CM Punk

On the January 19 edition of WWE Raw, CM Punk defeated Finn Balor to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.
After a show of respect between the two men, Balor attacked Punk during his bout against AJ Styles the following week. This led to Finn challenging the champion to a rematch.
Following their first match taking place in Finn’s home island of Ireland, Balor wanted to face “The Best In The World” in his hometown of Chicago at WWE Elimination Chamber 2026.
Despite Balor coming in more determined than ever, it feels like a no-brainer that Punk will be victorious at the Chamber and go on to defend the World Heavyweight Title against Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42 this April.

6. Becky Lynch

Speaking of CM Punk, his wife AJ Lee recently returned to WWE and once again got under the skin of Becky Lynch.
After making “The Man” tap out twice in 2025, Lynch became so irate at the mere presence of Lee that she challenged the legend to a singles bout at WWE Elimination Chamber 2026.
This led to Lee goading Lynch into making the contest for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
While Lee will have home field advantage in Chicago, Becky should find a way to retain her title to set up a more heated rematch for the gold at WrestleMania 42.

5. Uncle Howdy

Over the past few months, fans have watched a war going on between The MFTs and The Wyatt Sicks.
This has seen The MFTs take not only the WWE Tag Team Championships, but also the signature lantern from Uncle Howdy and The Wyatt Sicks in 2026 so far.
While there could be more tag team and multi-man tag matches in their future, WWE could announce a singles bout between the two stables’ leaders on a major stage.
Uncle Howdy challenging Solo Sikoa for the WWE Elimination Chamber premium live event could add even further heat and interest into this faction warfare that has dominated SmackDown’s programming as of late.

4. GUNTHER

At WWE Royal Rumble 2026, GUNTHER defeated AJ Styles to retire “The Phenomenal One” from WWE.
Then on the February 2 episode of Monday Night Raw, Dragon Lee came out to defend the honor of Styles and bring the fight to GUNTHER, who responded by choking out AJ’s former tag team partner with ease.
However, Lee got a measure of revenge by interfering and costing GUNTHER his Elimination Chamber qualifying match against Je’Von Evans and Dominik Mysterio on the February 16 Raw.
This should lead to GUNTHER going one-on-one with Dragon Lee in a grudge match at WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 that “The Career Killer” should get the win in.

3. Charlotte Flair

Over the past few weeks, fans have been watching various Elimination Chamber qualifying matches to see who will compete in the titular event on February 28.
Tiffany Stratton, Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss and Asuka have qualified so far and make for a star studded field.
With Bliss becoming one of the participants, it would just make sense for Charlotte Flair to also qualify for the Elimination Chamber.
If she is one of the competitors inside the steel structure, Flair has everything it takes to get the win and punch her ticket for a WWE Women’s Championship Match against Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42.

2. Cody Rhodes

On the February 13 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Cody Rhodes defeated Sami Zayn and Jacob Fatu to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match.
Ever since losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre on the January 9 SmackDown, “The American Nightmare” has been hellbent on getting himself back into contention.
After McIntyre put in a clause that denied his rematch, Rhodes knows he has to win at WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 to ever have a chance at the gold.
While he will compete against Randy Orton, LA Knight and Je’Von Evans, Rhodes feels like he has a ton of momentum and should find a way to advance to WrestleMania 42.

1. Jacob Fatu

After failing to win his qualifying match, Jacob Fatu will now be even more unhinged as he tries to get revenge on Drew McIntyre.
During his Elimination Chamber qualifying bout, Fatu was attacked and put through an announce table at the hands of McIntyre.
Following his opportunity to get a shot at the top prize on SmackDown, Fatu could challenge McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber 2026.
Considering all the animosity these two men have towards one another, Fatu vs. McIntyre could deliver one of the most intense battles over the WWE Title that has been seen in quite some time at Elimination Chamber 2026
