WWE Elimination Chamber (2025) | Wrestling Special

WWE Elimination Chamber: Toronto (2025), held on March 1 at Rogers Centre, delivered a chaotic, star-studded spectacle that cemented its place as a pivotal stop on the Road to WrestleMania 41. The men’s Elimination Chamber match, featuring John Cena, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, Damian Priest, and Logan Paul, was the night’s crown jewel, with Cena emerging victorious in his final Chamber appearance before his 2025 retirement. His heel turn post-match—aligning with The Rock to ambush Cody Rhodes—shocked the 35,000-strong Toronto crowd, flipping decades of babyface legacy into a deliciously villainous twist.

Bianca Belair’s win in the women’s Chamber match (against Liv Morgan, Naomi, Alexa Bliss, Bayley, and Roxanne Perez) was a predictable but crowd-pleasing outcome, bolstered by Jade Cargill’s surprise return and attack on Naomi, hinting at a brewing feud. Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn in an unsanctioned match stole the show with its brutal storytelling, capped by Randy Orton’s unexpected RKO return, while Trish Stratus and Tiffany Stratton’s tag win over Nia Jax and Candice LeRae gave the hometown hero a feel-good moment. At 3.5 hours, the pacing occasionally dragged, and The Rock’s segment with Rhodes felt overbooked with Travis Scott’s odd cameo, but the event’s highs—Cena’s turn, the Chamber action, and Orton’s pop—made it a memorable, if messy, stepping stone to ‘Mania.
