WWE Elimination Chamber is just one day away.
Six superstars will step inside the steel structure, but not all scenarios carry equal weight. The Men’s WWE Elimination Chamber match in Chicago is loaded with star power – Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, LA Knight, Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, and Jey Uso; yet the realistic paths to WrestleMania 42 narrow quickly when examining WWE’s current creative direction.
Rhodes has main-evented WrestleMania for the past three years. Orton is a 14-time world champion chasing No. 15. Evans is still early in his main-roster run, and Trick Williams is adjusting to life outside NXT. With that context, here are the three most plausible finishes inside the Chamber this Saturday.
3. LA Knight shocks the field
Since WWE is firmly on the Road to WrestleMania, Triple H has historically avoided swerves when it comes to the marquee main events. Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes have anchored the show repeatedly in recent years.
However, a compelling alternative would be LA Knight finally seizing the spotlight. The Megastar remains one of the most organically supported performers on the roster, and Chicago would likely rally behind him.
Knight has yet to capture major world gold. A Chamber victory would instantly elevate him into a premier WrestleMania slot and offer a fresh dynamic at the top of the card. It would be a calculated risk, but one that could energize the event with unpredictability.

2. Randy Orton survives the overhaul
Drew McIntyre recently cost Randy Orton in his match against Aleister Black on SmackDown, rekindling tensions between the longtime rivals.
The Viper still covets his 15th world championship and fell short against John Cena following WrestleMania 41. WrestleMania remains familiar territory for Orton, who rarely misses the spotlight.
A dramatic finish could see Orton enter late and eliminate Cody Rhodes last. That outcome would not only secure Orton a championship opportunity but also inject tension into his friendship with Rhodes. It is a classic WrestleMania setup: legacy versus redemption.
1. Cody Rhodes eliminates Randy Orton to win in Chicago
Despite criticism that he has dominated the title scene, with Sami Zayn noting as much last week. Cody Rhodes remains the betting favorite.
Rhodes is widely expected to headline night one of WrestleMania 42, championship or not. A Chamber win would likely set up another chapter in his ongoing feud with Drew McIntyre.
The most dramatic version of that outcome would involve Cody Rhodes eliminating Randy Orton last. Pinning a 14-time champion inside the Chamber would solidify his momentum heading into another marquee clash.
It may not be shocking, but it aligns cleanly with WWE’s recent storytelling patterns. Chicago’s steel structure leaves room for chaos, yet history suggests one of these three outcomes is most probable.
Who are the favorites to win the Men’s Elimination Chamber?
Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton are widely viewed as the leading contenders, with LA Knight positioned as a strong dark horse.
Could a newer star like Je’Von Evans or Trick Williams win?
While possible, both are relatively new to the main roster, making a Chamber victory less likely from a creative standpoint.
How does the winner impact WrestleMania 42?
The victor will earn a marquee championship opportunity, shaping one of the main-event matches at WrestleMania.
