Rhea Ripley and Randy Orton win their Women’s Elimination Chamber match, earning a ticket to a world title match at WrestleMania 42.

Ripley was a fan favorite to win the women’s match and did so to earn the right to challenge Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship. But it was Orton who pulled off the shocking event of the night, defeating Cody Rhodes for the Men’s Elimination Chamber title with a little help from Drew McIntyre.

After the show, SmackDown GM Nick Aldis also announced that McIntyre will face Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed Championship this Friday to determine who Orton will face at WrestleMania. Also, Seth Rollins was revealed as the masked man, attacking Logan Paul and sacrificing him in the room.

The card featured CM Punk defeating Finn Balor to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and AJ Lee defeating Becky Lynch to win the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Finally, Danhausen was revealed from the box, which was met with confusion from fans.
