Drew McIntyre essentially unleashed a viper on himself as Randy Orton won the 2026 WWE Men’s Elimination Chamber.
Six superstars entered the men’s Elimination Chamber match tonight to earn a shot at Drew McIntyre’s Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42. Cody Rhodes and Je’Von Evans started things with Trick Williams, Logan Paul, LA Knight, and Randy Orton entering next in that order.
The Vision’s Logan Paul had an excellent showing in the contest, scoring three eliminations. He took out Je’Von Evans, LA Knight, and Trick Williams. However, a masked man tried to enter the chamber but was stopped by security. But another one, who turned out to be a returning Seth Rollins, entered the ring and took out Paul with a stomp, allowing Cody Rhodes to pin him.
Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes were the final two in the ring, but Drew McIntyre tried to take the American Nightmare out of the equation. However, Orton and Rhodes took him out with their finishers, and the Viper used the opportunity to hit a picture-perfect RKO on his old protégé to pick up the win.
Randy Orton walked into his 10th Elimination Chamber match tonight looking to get one step closer in his quest to get world title no.15. He now has a date with destiny at WrestleMania 42.
However, a recent report noted that Cody Rhodes is a “virtual lock” for the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania 42. It also indicated that while Jacob Fatu is also in the conversation, the promotion is not looking to involve more than three superstars in the contest. It will be interesting to see whether the title match at the Show of Shows will turn into a multi-man contest.
