Update on WrestleMania 41 plans

After the second and final PLE ahead of WrestleMania 41, the Elimination Chamber 2025, fans started piecing together the card for the grandest stage in April. However, reports suggest that the lineup is still not as clear as fans think

Bryan Alvarez, speaking on Wrestling Observer Live, issued a strong warning to those who think they have the WrestleMania lineup all figured out. “I was told that when the Chamber show was over, there were a bunch of matches that seemed like – ok we know what we got for Mania…” he said, recognizing the sense of certainty that followed the event.

“I was told that there are more twists and turns coming, If you think you know the Mania card based on what happened at Elimination Chamber, there are going to be some changes. There’s 7 weeks left til Mania so there’s a lot of things they can do,” Alvarez emphasized.

Unsanctioned match & update on Naomi

According to a Fightful WWE source, “At least one talent” requested that the barbed wire in Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn’s Elimination Chamber match not be “gimmicked or shaved down.” Owens defeated Zayn in a brutal unsanctioned match that saw both stars bring out their ruthless side.

Naomi was removed from scheduled appearances at media junkets to promote “Queen of the Ring,” with PW Insider reporting that it was a WWE decision to sell the Jade Cargill beatdown at Elimination Chamber.

Jade Cargill made her highly anticipated return during the start of the women’s Elimination Chamber match and to everyone’s surprise went after Noami instead of Liv Morgan. The beatdown rendered Naomi unable to compete and was eliminated as a result.
