- John Cena will compete in his final Elimination Chamber match
- Two number one contenders will be decided for WrestleMania 41
- CM Punk, Logan Paul, Bianca Belair and Liv Morgan among superstars confirmed for show
WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 is right around the corner on the road to WrestleMania, as John Cena’s retirement tour rumbles towards one of its most major destinations.
The annual event will decide the final two number one contenders to both men’s and women’s World Titles. Royal Rumble winners Jey Uso and Charlotte Flair have already laid claim to the first two spots as challengers at WrestleMania 41.
Given the proximity of Elimination Chamber to WrestleMania on the WWE calendar, it’s a safe assumption to make that events in Toronto next month will err significantly towards the dramatic, with several matches being put in place for the biggest show of the year, in Las Vegas in April.
For John Cena, Elimination Chamber marks the last chance for the 16-time World Champion to punch his ticket to the main event of WrestleMania. Failure to win the men’s chamber match would mean Cena’s final WrestleMania appearance will be one with no World Title on the line.

Men’s Royal Rumble winner Jey Uso – the man who eliminated Cena from the Rumble earlier this month – has already confirmed he will be facing Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, which leaves Cody Rhodes’ WWE Title without a challenger. That will be decided inside the Elimination Chamber. Women’s Rumble winner Charlotte Flair is yet to decide on her opponent for ‘Mania, but all signs currently point towards WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton.
