Who Should Round Out The 2025 Elimination Chamber Matches? | Question Of The Day

Welcome to another eWrestlingNews Question of the Day!

Two spots are filled for the Men’s Elimination Chamber match (John Cena and CM Punk, who defeated Sami Zayn), and only one for the women’s, but we do know a few other players who are in the running. As it stands, Bayley or Lyra Valkyria will be one of the other women’s spots to join Liv Morgan (who defeated Iyo Sky), and two of the men’s spots will be filled by Finn Balor or Seth Rollins and Logan Paul or Rey Mysterio.

Even still, that leaves several other participants left in the unknown without having any idea what those qualifying matches could be.

My question for you today is “Who do you think should fill in all the remaining spots in those two matches?”

Remember to answer with your response in the comments below.

As far as my answer…

I feel like Iyo Sky should find her way back into the women’s match through some kind of “last chance” match that features all the women who lost their qualifiers, or a battle royal of a bunch of women. There are enough women that they don’t need Iyo to be in it, but giving her a spotlight like they did and having her be one of the best performers available and a former world champion makes perfect sense for her to be competing.

I’d pick Bayley over Lyra Valkyria, for sure, which makes 3 out of 6. Those remaining 3 would come out of a group of Alexa Bliss, Roxanne Perez, Bianca Belair, and Nia Jax. I’m assuming nobody like Asuka is returning to action and I just don’t know what they’re doing with Jade Cargill and I don’t think she should be in that match if she’s losing it.

Depending on if Nia Jax is going to have a match at Elimination Chamber against Tiffany Stratton, I would put her in the match. If Stratton is going to face Jax before that point, then Jax is free to compete in the chamber, but otherwise, we can still pick the other three, or Becky Lynch or Nikki Bella if they’re available. If they are, I’d go with them and Alexa Bliss and just do Stratton/Jax on the card or elsewhere. Putting Lynch, Bella, and Bliss on there opens up room for question marks, as none of them would be inherently tied to obviously be going up against either Stratton or Rhea Ripley.

The men’s qualifiers already point (in my mind, at least) to Seth Rollins and Logan Paul, meaning we’re only looking for two more there.

If there’s a last chance thing, as mentioned with Iyo, I’m ruling out Finn Balor and Rey Mysterio. Whether Sami Zayn has been written off television with the package piledriver remains to be seen, but he’d be a top candidate to get in for the last chance spot if he’s not just skipping out on this show. The same goes for how Roman Reigns has been treated like he’s going to sit out a while, so they might specifically be avoiding having him in the match, which is lame. I’m going to work under that assumption and not book him in here, even though he’d obviously be a pick of mine.

That means I’m looking at Drew McIntyre filling in a spot, as well as a number of other options like Kevin Owens, LA Knight, Damian Priest, Penta, AJ Styles, Braun Strowman, Jacob Fatu, and Solo Sikoa.

Of that bunch, assuming Zayn doesn’t get in with the last chance option and that Roman Reigns is 86’d from the list to begin with, I’d be leaning toward AJ Styles. As much as I like the other guys and would gladly see them in there, Penta is still around the midcard range at the moment, Sikoa is MIA, Strowman and Fatu can have some sort of Street Fight or something soon instead, Owens was just in the title hunt, and overall, I’d like to see Styles mesh with the others more so than Knight and Priest.

Recapping, my ideal scenario would be the women’s match consisting of Liv Morgan, Iyo Sky, Bayley, Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch and Nikki Bella, while my men’s match would be John Cena, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre and either Sami Zayn or AJ Styles.
