The WWE universe is in for a wild ride as plans for WrestleMania 40 unfold, particularly with regards to Seth Rollins and his World Heavyweight Championship reign.
Despite the electrifying drama surrounding The Rock, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes at the WrestleMania Kickoff event, Rollins is gearing up to defend his title at WrestleMania.
The bombshell announcement came during the latest episode of SmackDown on February 9, with Triple H, Adam Pearce, and Nick Aldis dropping a major bombshell.
They revealed that a men’s Elimination Chamber match will take center stage at the event of the same name on February 24. The winner of this epic showdown will earn the right to challenge Rollins at WrestleMania.

On SmackDown, Drew McIntyre secured his spot with a hard-fought victory over AJ Styles, while Randy Orton emerged victorious against Sami Zayn in the main event.
Monday’s episode of Raw promises more thrilling action, with LA Knight battling Ivar and Bronson Reed facing off against Bobby Lashley in qualifying matches.
The excitement continues on SmackDown next week, with two more qualifiers slated: Logan Paul vs The Miz and Dominik Mysterio vs Kevin Owens.
In the women’s division, things are heating up too. Bianca Belair’s triumph over Michin has earned her a coveted spot alongside Becky Lynch as confirmed participants in the women’s Elimination Chamber match. The winner will challenge Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania.
Next week’s SmackDown will feature Tiffany Stratton vs Shotzi and Naomi vs Zelina Vega, with spots in the women’s Elimination Chamber match on the line.
