Cody Rhodes has revealed who he’s most looking forward to eliminating from this weekend’s 2026 WWE Elimination Chamber.
Rhodes joins Je’Von Evans, Randy Orton, Trick Williams and LA Knight in the men’s Chamber this year, with the winner going on to challenge Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42.
Cody Rhodes Targeting Trick Williams
Appearing on ESPN First Take today, Cody Rhodes named Trick Williams as the man he’s most looking to eliminate, so he can go two-for-two having eliminated Williams from the Royal Rumble as well.
Rhodes explained:
“I already eliminated him from the Royal Rumble so I want to go two-for-two and that would be Trick Williams.
“Just because he is clearly a massive breakout star for us and he’s incredibly entertaining with his Lemon Pepper Steppers, but not yet.”

Cody Rhodes Wants WWE Championship Rematch With Drew McIntyre
Elsewhere in the interview, Cody Rhodes also spoke about wanting to “close the loop” on his feud with WWE Champion Drew McIntyre with a match at WrestleMania.
He said:
“You wanna close the loop, and I think this year, more for me I’m seeing the WrestleMania sign everywhere and not being able to point at it when years before I had won the Royal Rumble or even last year when I was the incumbent champion.
“This year it’s really up in the air for me and it’s tumultuous and you’re on that chase. Just to be able to point to that WrestleMania sign and know I’m gonna do another WrestleMania main event means a lot to me.
“Drew McIntyre, great. It doesn’t matter who it’s against but I’d love to close the loop on Drew because we’ve been fighting each other for quite some time.”
