Kiana James suffered an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction during WWE’s Elimination Chamber match.
James was one of the participants in the 2026 Women’s Elimination Chamber match at the United Center in Chicago. During the match, James was tied up with Tiffany Stratton as she hit the mat. During the exchange, Stratton’s legs hit James’ torso, causing her top to shift and her breast to be briefly exposed. Stratton immediately went for the pin attempt, but the incident was caught on camera and streamed live on the broadcast.
Kiana James has not commented on the in-ring incident. She was ultimately eliminated from the match by Raquel Rodriguez, who also suffered a similar wardrobe malfunction in the same match. Rhea Ripley went on to win the Chamber match, punching her ticket to WrestleMania 42.
Kiana James traded her corporate background for WWE
The incident caught the attention of mainstream outlets like People and US Weekly, who spoke with James ahead of the match.
“I fell in love with wrestling and quit my job to train,” James exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of Saturday’s match. “I have an education and a career to fall back on, but I never thought about falling back. That was never an option. I was going to become a WWE superstar. And I was going to put the work in until that happened.”
“I like to think that my journey, every piece of it, led me here. I think that being a WWE superstar blends all of my worlds,” she told Us. “I come from a corporate background, but I grew up a competitive gymnast. In college [at Morningside University in Sioux City, Iowa], I did competitive dance and cheer. I’ve performed in front of a crowd. I have love for the energy of a crowd. The acrobatics, the athleticism, the competition, it just blends it all. I have to do this. I was born for this.”
