WWE has officially unveiled the poster for Elimination Chamber 2026, spotlighting CM Punk and AJ Lee ahead of the February 28 event at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
Paul “Triple H” Levesque shared the artwork on social media (X), confirming the long-awaited return to the iconic venue.
The poster prominently features the real-life couple, fitting for a show set in Punk’s hometown.
While AJ Lee hails from Union City, New Jersey, Chicago has embraced her as one of its own since her marriage to Punk — making this a Windy City homecoming for both.
WWE Returns to United Center for First PLE Since SummerSlam 1994
Elimination Chamber marks the first televised WWE Premium Live Event at the United Center since SummerSlam 1994.
That event was the first sports show ever held at the arena, and WWE has primarily run major Chicago-area events at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont since then.
The card reflects the venue’s significance. Punk will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor in what is expected to be a heated title clash.
AJ Lee will challenge Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship — a matchup many assumed would wait until WrestleMania 42. Instead, it lands inside the Chamber event, adding another chapter to their rivalry.
Other announced matches include a men’s Elimination Chamber bout featuring Randy Orton and LA Knight, as well as a women’s Chamber match with Tiffany Stratton and Rhea Ripley confirmed among the participants.
The event begins at 7 p.m. Eastern and will stream live on the ESPN app in the United States and on Netflix internationally.
With hometown heroes front and center, WWE is clearly banking on Chicago to bring the noise — and perhaps a few “Second City” surprises — as the road to WrestleMania continues.
