WWE Elimination Chamber 2024 Results: Cody Rhodes Segment, Three Title Matches
The men's Elimination Chamber match was held inside Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia earlier today. Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Kevin Owens, WWE United States Champion Logan Paul, and LA Knight were locked inside the Chamber structure. The winner would be guaranteed a World Heavyweight Championship match against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40.
Drew McIntyre has punched his ticket to "The Showcase of the Immortals."
McIntyre outlasted his foes Down Under to emerge victorious in the men's Elimination Chamber match. He will challenge Seth Rollins for the top men's prize on WWE Raw. Drew had been a heavy favorite to win the match given the roll he's been on since turning heel.
Drew had an assist from Logan Paul, who had brass knuckles on and knocked Orton out with a punch in retaliation for being eliminated earlier.
He will now get a third chance at dethroning Rollins to hold the World Heavyweight Championship. Somewhere, CM Punk has to be seething at the fact that "DM Hunk" has taken his WrestleMania spot. Expect McIntyre to continue to take shots at Punk and gloat about his big title match in the weeks leading up to the biggest wrestling event of 2024.
