The headline match for the WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 premium live event will be the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match.
The winner of this bout will advance to face Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42.
With the field set for this match, there could be any number of winners for this year’s Men’s Chamber in Chicago.
Here are our rankings for the potential 2026 Men’s WWE Elimination Chamber winner.
6. Je’Von Evans
On the February 16 episode of Monday Night Raw, Je’Von Evans defeated Dominik Mysterio and GUNTHER to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match.
“The Young OG” will step into the steel structure in what will be the biggest match of his career so far.
Looking at the other stars in the Chamber, it feels like Evans has the most to prove being one of the newest talents on the WWE main roster.
While this is a huge opportunity for the 21 year old star, it does not seem likely that Evans will be able to win the Men’s Chamber on February 28.

5. Jey Uso
Following their latest World Tag Team Championships defense against Alpha Academy, Jimmy Uso told his twin brother Jey that he wants him to go after the World Heavyweight Championship and headline WrestleMania 42.
This led to Jey defeating The Original El Grande Americano and Bronson Reed to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber on the February 23 edition of WWE Raw.
Considering he won the Men’s Royal Rumble last year and went on to capture the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 41, “Main Event” Jey Uso should have a ton of momentum to go on to this year’s Mania in Las Vegas.
While Jey has some momentum being the last qualifier for the Chamber, Uso might not be able to head to WrestleMania 42 for a second year in a row.

4. LA Knight
On the February 9 edition of Monday Night Raw, LA Knight defeated Penta and Austin Theory to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match.
“The Megastar” has been on a quest over the past few years to finally win a world championship for the first time in WWE.
Since returning to WWE at Royal Rumble 2026, Knight has been embroiled in a feud with The Vision, but there are no members of the group involved in the Men’s Chamber.
Despite not having to deal with The Vision on Saturday, February 28, Knight is another star who doesn’t seem to have the momentum or position on the card to win this year’s Elimination Chamber Match.

3. Trick Williams
On the January 2 episode of WWE SmackDown, Trick Williams made his official main roster debut and became a member of the blue brand.
The former two-time NXT Champion has created a strong connection with the fans, usually garnering one of the biggest ovations from the crowd whenever he appears.
On the February 20 SmackDown, Williams defeated Damian Priest and Carmelo Hayes to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber.
While he has quickly become one of the most popular stars on the roster today, the company might not be ready to give Trick a spot in one of the main events of WrestleMania 42 just yet.

2. Randy Orton
Randy Orton has been in hot pursuit of capturing his 15th WWE World Championship over the past few years.
On the February 6 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Orton defeated Solo Sikoa and Aleister Black to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match.
Then on the February 20 SmackDown, “The Legend Killer” lost to Aleister Black thanks to outside interference from Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre.
With “The Scottish Warrior” costing him this bout, it seems likely that Orton has to be considered a favorite to win and advance to face McIntyre at WrestleMania 42 this April.

1. Cody Rhodes
On the February 13 edition of WWE SmackDown, Cody Rhodes defeated Sami Zayn and Jacob Fatu to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber.
“The American Nightmare” has been chasing McIntyre since losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to him in Germany on the January 9 edition of SmackDown.
Considering he has officially qualified, it feels like Rhodes could have the best chance of winning on February 28 in Chicago.
Surviving the five other competitors to move on to WrestleMania 42, Rhodes feels ready to regain the Undisputed WWE Championship by any means necessary at “The Show of Shows.”
