Update: Results
Professional wrestling remains as exciting as ever, yet somehow, we—the FRO Horsemen—managed to forget our annual discussion about this year’s Royal Rumble (I mean, we did, just not on the site). So, the next best thing is to talk about WWE Elimination Chamber 2025, aka WWE Elimination Chamber: Toronto, which takes place this Saturday (3/1/2025).
Like all modern PPVs PLEs under Paul “Triple H” Levesque, the card is short as hell, featuring only a handful of matches. And that’s not even counting the segment where The Rock tries to take the soul of Cody Rhodes (yes, you read that right).
But let’s focus on the two biggest matches of the night—the Elimination Chamber matches where each winner get a shot at a world title and a “main event” of WrestleMania 41. Today, Saule Wright, GQ-Blu, and I are sharing our thoughts and predictions on the men’s and women’s Chamber matches. I’ll be back later to update this post with the results. ~ B-Easy
WHO DO YOU WANT TO WIN THE MEN’S ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH?
B-Easy – WHO I WANT TO WIN: DREW MCINTYRE
(A part of me wants to say Logan Paul just for the chaos of it all. But nah.)
Drew McIntyre’s whole story has been about how the (OG) Bloodline screwed him over, and now he’s bitter, petty, and highly entertaining because of it. While it would make more sense for him to win a world title from someone like CM Punk, why not have Drew sell his soul to The Rock and get a shot at Cody? (The Rock and Drew have been cool lately—gifting swords, cursing on social media together, real bonding moments.)
I’m not even saying let Drew beat Cody at WrestleMania 41, but if this whole Rock vs. Cody saga is gonna take a minute (looking at you, Triple H), and won’t “necessarily lead to a match” between them, go ahead and let Drew headline a Mania in front of people.
GQ-Blu – WHO I WANT TO WIN: DREW MCINTYRE
I actually think I want CM Punk to win but you could protect him since he’s still owed that favor from Paul E Dangerous. Drew has been doing some of his best character work of his career and it feels like he deserves to be rewarded for it. But there are too many conflicting things story subplots at the moment, that while good for giving the writers multiple avenues to pick, makes this really convoluted.
Saule Wright – WHO I WANT TO WIN: SETH “FREAKIN” ROLLINS
I don’t think we have a lot left for this version of Seth and I still think he’s one of the best in the company, period. He was a fighting champion and I think we have more story in this Cody versus Bloodline versus Seth thing.
WHO WILL WIN THE MEN’S ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH?
B-Easy – WHO WILL WIN: JOHN CENA
STOP BEING A PUSSY AND SELL YOUR SOUL TO THE ROCK, HEEL CENA!!! It’s best for business.
GQ-Blu – WHO WILL SHOULD WIN: ANYONE NOT NAMED JOHN CENA OR LOGAN PAUL
Paul because I know he has President Cheeto in his IG close friends and I can’t abide by that, even if he is a phenomenal wrestler and gimmick. Cena shouldn’t win because he needs to come up short again to FINALLY get him to take the deal the Final Boss offered to Cody. We’ve all been dying for the Cena heel turn. He’s shown a sign or two that he’s ready to make the jump.
He was a dick after coming in second at the Rumble and automatically inserting himself in the Chamber. Hes made it clear he’s obsessed with setting the title record. Let this be the reason he sells out.
Saule Wright – WHO WILL WIN: UNFORTUNATELY, JOHN CENA
I only say that because he didn’t do shit to even be in this match but it’s easy for him to win in a protected match like this. It’s more believable than him winning the Rumble or a ladder match to me.
WHO WILL BE THE RUNNER UP IN THE MEN’S ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH?
B-Easy – WHO WILL BE THE RUNNER-UP: CM PUNK. OR MAYBE JAKE PAUL—WHOEVER ELIMINATES THE OTHER.
GQ-Blu – WHO WILL BE THE RUNNER-UP: JOHN CENA
Saule Wright – WHO WILL BE THE RUNNER-UP: CM PUNK. SIGH.
WHO DO YOU WANT TO WIN THE WOMEN’S ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH?
B-Easy – WHO I WANT TO WIN: BIANCA BELAIR
I’ll be honest—Bianca Belair winning this year’s Elimination Chamber doesn’t make much sense. She and Naomi just dropped the tag titles, and it finally feels like we’re getting movement on the Who slammed Jade on top of a car? storyline.
But here’s the thing—Bianca is one of the best women’s wrestlers in the world. While her run with the tag title was fun (the ring gear alone made it worth it), she’s better on her own. Plus, Rhea vs. Bianca at Mania just feels right, doesn’t it? But like I said, this probably won’t happen—Bianca’s more likely to end up wrestling Jade or Naomi at Mania instead.
GQ-Blu – WHO I WANT TO WIN: BIANCA BELAIR
This isn’t entirely true because I actually would want Alexa Bliss to win IF she was pre-Bray Wyatt Bliss. That version of Alexa was one of the best talkers (man or woman) and most interesting characters in the game. But ever since she’s been on her passion project kick to merge her horror movie fandom with her wrestling persona she has been in a helluva holding pattern. The dirty screens say she’s linked to the Wyatt Sicks, which feels more like an anchor than a rocket to the top. But if she likes it I love it? Give it to Bianca so we can get her vs Rhea at Mania.
Saule Wright – WHO I WANT TO WIN: #BAEANCA BELAIR
Main roster women’s division needs help. #BAEanca is one of the best wrestlers in the world right now and really does an amazing job of carrying matches and calling the spots. For a division that is struggling and a Mania that is overpriced itself, she HAS to be in the main event. It’s best for business.
WHO WILL WIN THE WOMEN’S ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH?
B-Easy – WHO WILL WIN: ALEXA BLISS
Liv is a tag team champion and will probably defend those titles at Mania. Roxanne Perez hasn’t officially been called up from NXT. Bayley hasn’t really done much since she won the Rumble last year. And Bianca and Naomi still have to figure out the Jade situation.
Alexa Bliss (who just came back) feels like the most logical choice here. Plus…where the hell have the Wyatt Sicks been at?
GQ-Blu – WHO WILL WIN: BIANCA BELAIR
It’s the best matchup possible for Mania. You can also advance the Jade hit and run (why do so many wrestlers get hit by cars?) and have Naomi turn on her after being pinned and be revealed as the mastermind behind taking Jade out. There’s a PLE between this and Mania right? (Editor’s Note: No) Have Belair knock her off there.
Saule Wright – WHO WILL WIN: #BAEANCA BELAIR
I think Bliss will sit back and get more of a build with the Sicks so they won’t call this shot yet. Also, #BAEanca has to win this.
WHO WILL BE THE RUNNER UP IN THE WOMEN’S ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH?
B-Easy – WHO WILL BE THE RUNNER-UP: ROXANNE PEREZ, CONTINUING HER IRON WOMAN STREAK FROM ROYAL RUMBLE 2025.
GQ-Blu – WHO WILL BE THE RUNNER-UP: NAOMI
Saule Wright – WHO WILL BE THE RUNNER-UP: NAOMI OR ROXANNE
This is where Naomi goes heel during this match. She may not have had anything to do with Jade getting laid out, but her character could use this turn.
Roxanne Perez is building a really good story and a runner up puts her in a great space for spin off feuds.
Women’s Elimination Chamber Match: Bianca Belair defeated Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Liv Morgan, Naomi, and Roxanne Perez
Jade Cargill (Finally) retuned and beat the shit out of Naomi.
Tiffany Stratton & Trish Stratus defeated Nia Jax & Candice LeRae
Unsanctioned Match: Kevin Owens defeated Sami Zayn
Randy Orton (Finally) retuned, hit the RKO on Kevin Owens, almost punted him in the head and the proceeded to hit the RKO on everybody.
Elimination Chamber Match: John Cena defeated CM Punk, Damian Priest, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, and Seth “Freakin” Rollins
John Cena (Finally) turned heel, sided with The Rock and betrayed Cody Rhodes. Travis Scott was there too for some reason.
