Elimination Chamber event has just concluded, setting the stage for WrestleMania 41, scheduled for April 19-20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. Based on the outcomes and developments from Elimination Chamber, here’s an updated match card for WWE’s biggest event of the year:
Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. John Cena
Background: At Elimination Chamber, John Cena won the men’s Elimination Chamber match, earning a shot at Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship. This came with a shocking twist as Cena turned heel, aligning with The Rock after Rhodes rejected The Rock’s offer to “sell his soul.” This match positions him in striking distance of a record-breaking 17th world title. The heel turn adds a fresh dynamic to Cena’s retirement tour and sets up a generational clash with the American Nightmare.
World Heavyweight Championship: Gunther (c) vs. Jey Uso
Background: Jey Uso won the 2025 men’s Royal Rumble and chose to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, a decision confirmed before Elimination Chamber.
With Cena’s Chamber win securing the Undisputed WWE title shot, this match remains locked in. Gunther, still champion as of March 1, 2025, faces Uso, whose popularity as “Main Event Jey” has soared. This could headline Night 1, pitting Gunther’s technical prowess against Uso’s high-energy style.
Women’s World Championship: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Bianca Belair
Bianca Belair emerged victorious in the women’s Elimination Chamber match, earning a title shot against the winner of the Rhea Ripley vs. Iyo Sky match scheduled for the March 3, 2025, episode of Raw. Assuming Ripley retains (as she’s favored to), Belair vs. Ripley becomes a marquee WrestleMania bout.
Belair, undefeated at WrestleMania, and Ripley, a dominant champion, have never faced off in a singles match on the main roster, making this a highly anticipated clash of titans.
WWE Women’s Championship: Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Charlotte Flair
Charlotte Flair won the 2025 women’s Royal Rumble and challenged Tiffany Stratton, who cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase to win the WWE Women’s Championship from Nia Jax. At Elimination Chamber, Stratton teamed with Trish Stratus to defeat Jax and Candice LeRae, solidifying her reign. Flair, a two-time Rumble winner, aims to reclaim her spot atop the division, setting up a “present vs. future” showdown with Stratton, who’s been compared to Flair stylistically.
