Two New Names Qualify For Elimination Chamber Matches

The 2025 Elimination Chamber premium live event is fast approaching, and both fields for the men’s and women’s Elimination Chamber matches are nearly complete. On last night’s February 14 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, two more competitors secured their spots in the Chamber matches with the hope of finding a route to WrestleMania 41 to challenge for Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship and Rhea Ripley’s Women’s World Championship.

Firstly, one half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Naomi qualified for the Elimination Chamber, picking up a victory over United States Champion Chelsea Green. This means that neither midcard champion in the women’s division found a way to qualify for the Chamber. A victory for Naomi sees her join fellow Tag Team Champion Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Alexa Bliss and Bayley, with one spot available. 

The main event of SmackDown saw a gigantic triple threat take place as Braun Strowman, Jacob Fatu, and Damian Priest battled it out for a spot in the men’s Elimination Chamber. Ringside shenanigans involving The Bloodline led to Damian Priest pinning Braun Strowman, securing a spot in the match. This adds him to a field that includes John Cena, Drew McIntyre, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins thus far. 

Also on SmackDown, a tag team match between Tiffany Stratton & Trish Stratus and Nia Jax & Candice LeRae was proposed for the PLE.
