A WWE star has sent a message ahead of her participation in this year’s Women’s Elimination Chamber Match.
With only two spots available in the Women’s Chamber match, the February 20 episode of SmackDown saw Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax and Kiana James battle it out in a three-way to book their ticket to WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 on February 28.
With Flair challenging for the WWE Women’s Championship last year at WrestleMania 41 and Nia Jax previously holding the title for 153 days just over a year ago, Kiana James was the clear underdog in the match.
Ultimately however, it was the youngest star in the match who showed off her resourcefulness and opportunistic instinct – pinning Flair’s shoulders to the mat whilst “The Queen” had the Figure Eight Leg Lock applied to Jax.
Immediately after the win WWE cameras caught James’ reaction, with the 28-year-old taking the time to call out those who had previously underestimated her in her time on SmackDown thus far:
“All I’ve heard is where’s Kiana? Why is she on the ringside? All of you guys, all you do is underestimate me.
“Wanna know what I was doing ringside all these months? I was studying. I was calculating my next move and now I’m in the Elimination Chamber and I’m coming for it all.”

James joins Asuka, Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss and Tiffany Stratton in the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match, with IYO SKY, Kairi Sane and Raquel Rodriguez set to face off in the final qualifying match on the February 23 episode of WWE Raw.
