Rhea Ripley goes to WrestleMania to challenge WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill after winning the 2026 Women’s Elimination Chamber match. Ripley pinned Tiffany Stratton, and outlasted Raquel Rodriguez, Kiana James, Asuka, and Alexa Bliss.
James and Stratton began off the match, and the previous gymnasts went back-and-forth. Stratton went for a back handspring elbow, but James got out of the best way and Stratton crashed right into a pod. Asuka was out next, and James rushed into her pod and tried to beat her down, but Asuka was relentless, smashing Stratton off Bliss’ pod after beating James down. James sling shotted Stratton face-first into the cage, and it was Ripley out next. She hit a Razor’s Edge to Stratton and threw her into Asuka.
Ripley and Bliss tangled with one another in the course of the ring, countering one another’s finishes. Bliss climbed the cage while the opposite women brawled below, and took out everyone but James with a Twisted Bliss from the highest of a pod. James walked right into a Sister Abigail, but Asuka hit Bliss with the mist. James rolled up Bliss for the primary elimination of the match.
Rodriguez was out of the pod last and overpowered everyone, including James, who she ran through a pod. She slammed Asuka onto James, stacked the ladies, and eliminated them each. Ripley hit a cannonball to Rodriguez from the highest of a pod, then Stratton hit a Prettiest Moonsault Ever to eliminate Rodriguez.
Stratton hit Ripley with the Alabama Slam, but Ripley got out of the best way of a Swanton and ended up sending Stratton into the canvas face-first. Stratton hit her second Swanton attempt, but Ripley kicked out. Stratton searched for her moonsault again, but Ripley got as much as smash her into the pod in front of her from the highest turnbuckle and hit the Riptide for the win.
