WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 Results: Winners, Live Grades, Reaction, Highlights

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of WWE Elimination Chamber 2025.

In addition to the four announced matches, the show featured a segment with The Rock attempting to turn Cody Rhodes into his corporate champion.

Here's a look at the card from Saturday's show:

—Trish Stratus and Tiffany Stratton vs. Nia Jax and Candice LeRae

—Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn (Unsanctioned match)

—Naomi vs. Bayley vs. Bianca Belair vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Liv Morgan vs. Roxanne Perez (Women's Elimination Chamber)

—Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre vs. John Cena vs. Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk vs. Logan Paul (Men's Elimination Chamber)

Let's take a look at everything that happened at this year's Elimination Chamber premium live event.

The PLE began with the women's Chamber match. Bliss was the first competitor to make her entrance and enter a pod, and the two women chosen to open the match were Naomi and Morgan.

Before the contest could begin, though, Jade Cargill came to the ring and attacked Naomi instead of Morgan, which is what everyone was expecting.

Belair pleaded from inside the pod as The Storm decimated The Glow. Cargill left, and Naomi was declared unfit to fight and taken away on a stretcher.

Morgan waited for the next competitor to be release, which was The EST of WWE. She tried to get to Naomi outside the cage until Morgan attacked her and started throwing her into the chamber.

Here is the order of entry for the competitors:

• Morgan and Naomi began
• Belair
• Perez
• Bayley
• Bliss

Naomi was the only person who had been eliminated by the time all of the competitors were in the match. Surprisingly, Bayley was the next elimination. She was soon followed by Perez.

Morgan eliminated Bliss to narrow the field down to her and Belair. Both women came close to winning several times before it finally ended with The EST hitting a KOD for the pin and the win.

This was a fun Chamber match from start to finish, although some fans may be upset that one of the competitors was taken out before it began. Other than that, the crowd was hyped for everything.

Belair winning was a good choice, but how the story unfolds with her, Naomi and Cargill is going to be interesting to watch.

Result: Belair won the Elimination Chamber.

Grade: B

Notable Moments and Observations

• The Toronto crowd heavily booed the U.S. national anthem.
• Belair did a great job looking emotional after her best friend was taken out.
• Morgan is so used to being the smaller competitor that it must have been a nice change for her to outsize Perez.
• Morgan got the worst of The EST's dive off the pod, but the hair whip did more damage to her stomach.
• The way Morgan used Belair's braid to send her into the cage several times was brilliant.

The next match featured Stratus and Stratton taking on Jax and LeRae. The Poison Pixie and the seven-time champion began for their teams.

Trish hit a Thesz press to get things going.

It didn't take long for the fight to spill out of the ring so all four women could get involved.

There were times when it looked like Stratus was hesitant to do something, but then other times when she threw herself into the moves she was doing. It took her a little time to get comfortable in the ring again, but she got there eventually.

After a hot start, there was a bit of a lull in the middle of the bout, but they eventually started picking up the pace again. While the match was bookended by some entertaining action, it felt like they slowed down too much in the middle.

Stratton was able to pick up the win for her team by hitting her signature moonsault on Jax.

Result: Stratus and Stratton defeated Jax and LeRae

Grade: B-

Notable Moments and Observations

• A lot of babyfaces went with white gear during this show.
• Jax screwing with the announcers during Stratton's entrance was funny. It was nice to see both teams coordinated their gear.
• The way Jax lifted up Stratus and swung her head into the middle turnbuckle was nasty.
• The Stratusfaction Trish tried to hit from the top rope didn't go as planned.

The announcer began by reiterating that there are no rules and WWE takes no responsibility for what happens during this Unsanctioned match.

The lights were turned down in the arena as Owens and Zayn circled each other in the ring. KO threw the first punch and then it was off to the races. Zayn was selling his injured neck a lot in the early moments.

It didn't take long for them to start digging around under the ring for weapons. After a few chairs were used, Zayn grabbed a hockey stick to get a big pop from the Canadian crowd.

This was a brutal fight that took both men into the crowd and use everything they could find to inflict damage. The crowd was eating it up as the friends-turned-rivals punished each other.

This wasn't a typical contest, so it's tougher to judge it against the rest of the card. Technical ability wasn't as important as how brutal every spot looked. Even without lots of blood, this felt appropriately violent.

Everything they did looked convincing and the raucous crowd added to the intense feel of the fight. Owens and Zayn continue to find ways to make their matches feel more and more intense over time. They elevate each other in ways others should study. They are the perfect rivals.

Zayn used a chair wrapped in barbed wire several times, but Owens still found a way to kick out. KO eventually hit a powerbomb on the apron just like he did the first night he was in NXT. After one more, he finally rolled Zayn into the ring for the pin.

This is one of those matches you just need to see for yourself because no recap will do it justice. As it looked like Owens was going to try to attack Zayn following the match, Randy Orton's music hit.

He took out The Prizefighter with an RKO after he got to the ring. Orton lined up for the Punt Kick, but Owens rolled out of the ring before he could hit it.

Result: Owens defeated Zayn

Grade: A

Notable Moments and Observations

• Owens was shown putting potential weapons into his travel bag earlier in the day, but he didn't bring any with him.
• The way KO dropped Zayn across the top rope looked painful.
• Owens biting Zayn's face was unexpected but kind of funny.
• The bump Zayn took through the two tables was wild.

Paul was the first man to enter a pod for the men's Chamber match. McIntyre and Rollins began as the first two men in the ring.

Here is the order of entry for the competitors:

• Rollins and McIntyre began
• Priest
• Paul
• Cena
• Punk

The Toronto crowd was more anti-Paul than anything else, so the cheers and boos depended on whether he was being beaten up or doing the beating for some time.

McIntyre was surprisingly eliminated first, and that was followed by Paul eliminating Priest with a frog splash from on top of the pod. A few minutes later, Punk eliminated The Maverick with a GTS that got a massive pop.

Punk turned down a handshake from Cena and hugged him instead, but then they started throwing punches. Rollins, Punk and Cena have a lot of history between them, so the final three spent a long time in the ring together.

Cena spent several minutes recovering after being put through one of the pod windows. Once he recovered, he and Punk both hit Rollins with their finisher to eliminate him from the match.

Rollins stayed at ringside and hit Punk with a Stomp before watching as Cena made The Best in the World pass out with an STF to score the win and earn a title shot against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41.

The way this match was structured was surprising, but with so many big names, one or two eliminations were bound to feel early. Putting that aside, most of what we got here was entertaining.

The various feuds that were addressed felt natural, and the way some eliminations happened set up some potential matches down the line.

Result: Cena won the men's Elimination Chamber

Grade: B

Notable Moments and Observations

• The announcers were too happy to see Paul.
• Rollins had a hilarious outfit picked out.
• The Visionary being cheered by Punk as he beat up McIntyre was hilarious.
• Priest got a big pop when he boxed Paul's ears.
• Punk and Cena hitting a Hart Attack on Rollins was a fun moment.

The segment with The Rock asking for Rhodes' soul ended the PPV, but they weren't alone. Cena was still in the ring following his Chamber win, and rapper Travis Scott was with The Rock for some reason.

Rock asked Rhodes to embrace him and accept his offer while Scott began smoking in the corner next to Cena. The American Nightmare said he had already given his soul to the ring and the fans, and then he told Rocky to go f--k himself, which got a massive pop.

Cena applauded Rhodes' decision as The Rock stared at him motionless for a long time.

Cena hugged The American Nightmare and then got a signal from The Final Boss. He delivered a low blow to Rhodes to turn heel for the first time.

Rock watched as Cena took Rhodes apart while the crowd gave a mixed reaction. Some were happy to see Cena turn heel after so many years, and others were unhappy to see it happen this way.

As soon as it was clear Cena was not going to leave the ring, the heel turn was telegraphed, but it still had a big impact because the veteran has been a babyface for so long.

It may not make a lot of sense right now, but seeing a villainous Cena is going to be a fun change in his final year in WWE.

Grade: B

The most talked-about moment coming out of this event is going to be Cena's not-so-shocking heel turn, but it was also a great show as a whole.

Both Chamber matches were enjoyable and had winners that felt right given the stories being told, but one thing stood out above everything else.

Zayn and Owens put on an instant classic that adds another chapter to their 20-year story. It was as fun as it was violent, which is exactly what it needed to be.

Cargill attacking Naomi was another memorable moment, but that won't be important until she elaborates on why she did it.

This was a solid show from top to bottom, and it's going to keep fans talking this week, so it accomplished its goal of making WrestleMania 41 more intriguing.

Grade: B
