The Elimination Chamber pay-per-view (PPV) in February 2024 lived up to its name, delivering brutal in-ring action and setting the stage for two massive championship clashes at WrestleMania XL. Held in Perth, Western Australia, the event featured not one, but two Elimination Chamber matches, each filled with drama, surprising eliminations, and a healthy dose of controversy. Let’s delve into the results of Elimination Chamber 2024 and the journeys that led Becky Lynch and Drew McIntyre to victory.
The Women’s Road to WrestleMania: Redemption for The Man
The night kicked off with the first-ever Women’s Elimination Chamber match. The stakes were high, as the winner would secure a coveted spot against the reigning Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley, at WrestleMania. The participants represented a diverse mix of experience and rising stars: Becky Lynch, the returning “Man,” Bianca Belair, the powerhouse “EST,” Raquel Rodriguez, known for her raw strength, Shotzi Blackheart, the charismatic daredevil, Tegan Nox, the tenacious competitor, and Tiffany Stratton, the self-proclaimed “Tiffy Time” leader.
The match began with Lynch entering first, a strategic move that allowed her to pick her battles throughout. She displayed her veteran savvy, forming temporary alliances and utilizing the chaos within the Chamber to her advantage. Early eliminations saw Shotzi Blackheart fall victim to Bianca Belair’s signature K.O.D. (Knees Of Doom), while Tegan Nox was surprisingly taken out by Tiffany Stratton with a well-placed kick.
The tide began to turn when Raquel Rodriguez entered the fray. Her immense power overwhelmed both Lynch and Belair, momentarily silencing the arena. However, the alliance between Lynch and Belair proved short-lived. Capitalizing on Rodriguez’s momentary distraction, Morgan took flight, delivering a devastating Oblivion from the top of a pod to eliminate Stratton, ending the “Tiffy Time” reign.
The action intensified as the final three – Lynch, Belair, and Rodriguez – battled for supremacy. Rodriguez’s strength continued to be a dominant force, but Lynch’s experience and ring IQ shone through. She outsmarted Belair with a well-timed roll-up, sending the “EST” crashing out of the match.
With only Lynch and Rodriguez remaining, the crowd erupted in anticipation. In a display of incredible athleticism, Belair scaled the Chamber structure and delivered a breathtaking moonsault onto both Lynch and Rodriguez outside the ring. However, the move left her vulnerable, allowing Lynch to seize the opportunity. With a powerful Manhandle Slam, Lynch secured the pinfall victory, earning a shot at reclaiming the Women’s Championship at WrestleMania.
The Men’s Elimination Chamber: Controversy and The Scottish Warrior Emerges
The second Elimination Chamber match of the night featured a star-studded cast vying for a chance to challenge Seth Rollins for the prestigious World Heavyweight Championship. Drew McIntyre, the returning “Scottish Warrior,” looked to reignite his championship dreams. His challengers included the cunning Randy Orton, the unpredictable Sami Zayn, the returning Kevin Owens, the social media sensation Logan Paul, and the powerhouse Sheamus.
The match was a brutal war of attrition. Sheamus, known for his brawling style, took an early advantage, eliminating Sami Zayn with a thunderous Brogue Kick. However, the tide shifted with the entry of Kevin Owens. He and his long-time rival, Sami Zayn, momentarily put aside their differences to target Sheamus, eventually neutralizing him with a Stunner-Helluva Kick combo.
The unpredictable Logan Paul proved to be a wild card. He displayed surprising athleticism and in-ring acumen, managing to eliminate Kevin Owens with a cleverly executed Skull-Crushing Finale. However, his cockiness backfired when he attempted to eliminate Randy Orton. The Viper, with his signature RKO, swiftly dispatched the social media star.
The final four – McIntyre, Orton, Owens, and Paul – battled with a sense of desperation. Orton seemed poised for victory after delivering an RKO on Owens. However, Logan Paul, seeking revenge for his earlier elimination, interfered by striking Orton with a hidden brass knuckles. This act of treachery allowed McIntyre to capitalize, pinning a dazed Orton to secure the win.
The controversial ending sparked outrage from both fans and competitors alike. However, the result remained unchanged. Drew McIntyre, fueled by a desire to reclaim his championship glory, punched his ticket to WrestleMania for a showdown against Seth Rollins.
Beyond the Chamber: Other Showcasing Matches
While the Elimination Chamber matches stole the show, the event also featured other noteworthy bouts. Rhea Ripley, the reigning Women’s World Champion, successfully defended her title against Nia Jax in a hard-fought match. The returning Edge, in a display of veteran dominance, defeated Dominik Mysterio in a personal rivalry that had been simmering for months.
