Following a highly successful start to their 2025 PLE schedule, the WWE universe will turn it's attention to the next stop on the Road to Wrestlemania 41, the Elimination Chamber. Over the next four weeks, superstars will jockey for inclusion to the unique structure of the PLE. Here's what you need to know.
Where and When?
Date: March 1, 2025
Location: Rogers Center, Toronto
What is it?
Elimination Chamber is a multi-competitor match featuring a steel chamber surrounding the ring. It 's pretty much a slimmed down version of the Royal Rumble, but dropped inside a cage match. Two of the six superstars begin the match in the ring, with the other four inside plexiglass pods. Every five minutes a pod randomly opens, allowing another wrestler to enter. The process continues until all six competitors are in the match.
Wrestlers can only be eliminated via pinfall or submission; there are no disqualifications and no count-outs. The match continues until only one wrestler remains, who is declared the winner.
There's both a men's and a women's chamber.
The winner of Elimination Chamber could take a title, if a champ is included in the field, or could earn a championship opportunity at Wrestlemania.
How do wrestler's qualify?
The WWE will likely run three weeks worth of qualifiers on both Monday Night Raw and Friday Night Smackdown. They will likely all be individual matches. In the past, various qualifiers (including being in the Royal Rumble final four) have been used.
