Men's Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match
Randy Orton vs. Solo Sikoa vs. Aleister Black
SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis has announced a blockbuster triple threat match to determine one spot in the Men's Elimination Chamber Match. The Viper Randy Orton returns to action looking to punch his ticket to Chicago on February 28, where the winner will challenge Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42.
Solo Sikoa represents The Bloodline's interests in the high-stakes qualifier, while former NXT Champion Aleister Black looks to continue his momentum after his acclaimed feud with Damian Priest.
Women's Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match
Lash Legend vs. Chelsea Green vs. Tiffany Stratton
The women's division heats up with a triple threat qualifier for the Women's Elimination Chamber Match. Tiffany Stratton makes her first competitive appearance since returning at Royal Rumble, looking to earn a shot at reclaiming championship gold. Chelsea Green brings her veteran savvy to the match, while Lash Legend seeks her breakthrough opportunity on the Road to WrestleMania.
WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY (c) vs. Giulia & Kiana James
The Women's Tag Team Champions defend their titles against the makeshift team of Giulia and Kiana James. Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY have formed a dominant partnership since capturing the gold, but the combination of Giulia's striking prowess and Kiana James' technical ability presents a unique challenge for the champions.
Singles Match
Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Tama Tonga
Two former NJPW rivals collide for the first time in WWE as Shinsuke Nakamura takes on Tama Tonga in singles action. The match was set up on last week's show when Nakamura confronted Tonga backstage, dismissing the MFTs member as "still a young punk" despite his recent confidence. The two previously faced each other in Japan as members of rival factions CHAOS and Bullet Club.
United States Championship Open Challenge
Carmelo Hayes (c) vs. TBA
United States Champion Carmelo Hayes continues his fighting champion tradition with another open challenge. Hayes has been on a roll since capturing the title from Ilja Dragunov in late December, successfully defending against all comers on SmackDown.

Liv Morgan will make her SmackDown appearance following her Royal Rumble victory. After confronting Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer on Raw, Morgan remains uncommitted on her WrestleMania 42 opponent. With WWE Women's Champion Jade Cargill also on the show tonight, Morgan could pivot toward the blue brand's title instead.
Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre Appears
