WWE Elimination Chamber 2024: Surprises Await Fans in Australia
WWE Elimination Chamber 2024 is set to captivate audiences worldwide, taking place in the early morning hours of Saturday, February 24th, at Perth’s Optus Stadium in Australia. This high-stakes event is sure to deliver incredible in-ring action and unforgettable moments.
For wrestling enthusiasts, the excitement begins at 4 am ET with the free Kickoff show, which can be streamed on YouTube, WWE.com, and various social media platforms. Shortly after, at 5 am ET, the highly anticipated Pay-Per-View event will begin, available for streaming on Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network everywhere else for those with a subscription.
Multiple Surprises Planned for Elimination Chamber
The WWE is notorious for keeping fans on the edges of their seats with unexpected twists and turns. Elimination Chamber 2024 is no exception. Fans can anticipate a series of surprises in store for this event, as confirmed by WWE executive, Triple H, during an interview on the popular Xav & Michelle for Breakfast podcast:
“You can expect surprises…and here, [to] fill the stadium, I need to say nothing more than Rhea Ripley is going to be there.”
While disappointment looms for fans hopeful to see The Rock, Rhea Ripley, a local hero, will be the show’s star attraction, undoubtedly ensuring a night to remember.
Rhea Ripley’s Unyielding Defense: Women’s World Championship
A particular highlight of the night features Rhea Ripley’s passionate defense of the coveted Women’s World Championship against the formidable Nia Jax. Elimination Chamber stands as a rare occasion, with a one-on-one women’s match taking center stage. Nia Jax, unbeaten in singles matches since her September return to WWE, presents a challenging opponent and formidable obstacle.
WWE has given undeniable effort in building up this title match to represent harmony between two exceptional talents with near invincibility. However, it is unlikely that a Jax victory is one of the planned surprises. Rhea Ripley is expected to shine on her home turf, securing her well-deserved spot in a top match at WrestleMania.
Anticipation swells as fans in Perth eagerly await the matches, prompting the question: will their adoration for Rhea extend to potential ally, Dominik Mysterio, who may arrive to provide assistance at some point during the night?
The Remaining Card
Aside from the headline matches, Elimination Chamber offers an array of captivating spectacles to keep fans enthralled:
Women’s Elimination Chamber: Determining the Challenger
Featuring six exceptional competitors – Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch, Naomi, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Tiffany Stratton – this Elimination Chamber match will determine the Women’s World Championship challenger at WrestleMania. The match commences with two wrestlers, while the remaining four await release from their separate chambers at the corners of the ring. The battle continues until a single wrestler remains as the victor.
Becky Lynch stands as the frontrunner due to the longstanding anticipation for a Ripley-Lynch showdown at WrestleMania. Bianca Belair, a consistent presence in title matches, should not be dismissed. Meanwhile, the other contenders face steeper odds, especially the recently arrived Tiffany Stratton.
Men’s Elimination Chamber: A Clash for the Chance
In a fierce clash of titans, Randy Orton, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Kevin Owens, and LA Knight will battle it out inside the Elimination Chamber for a coveted title shot at WrestleMania. Each participant brings a unique skillset and motive.
The longstanding feud between Logan Paul and Kevin Owens adds an intriguing layer to their involvement, potentially leading to their downfall. Meanwhile, Bobby Lashley faces enemies in The Final Testament stable, hinting at a potential betrayal. The ever-reliable Randy Orton, the ruthless Drew McIntyre, and the promising LA Knight all have their hopes set on victory, leading to an exciting showdown in this chamber match.
The Grayson Waller Effect: Special Guests Await
Grayson Waller, a local Australian star, will have the honor of interviewing wrestling icons Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins as they offer their insights leading up to WrestleMania. Although The Rock and Roman Reigns will not be present, this segment promises a potential surprise with appearances from Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Paul Heyman, and/or Solo Sikoa.
Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship: Relentless Battle
Finn Balor and Damian Priest, as the reigning champions, face the resilient challenger duo of Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate. Dunne’s recent shift and his partnership with Bate have sparked an electric momentum. The champions have held their ground against dominant teams but face an arduous test against Dunne and Bate. The outcome may pave the way for R-Truth’s involvement at WrestleMania.
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship: Underdogs Rise
With no clear story aside from Australian talent Indi Hartwell’s participation, she and her partner Candice LeRae appear as the underdogs with much to prove. While conventional wisdom may favor the reigning champions, The Kabuki Warriors, surprises can enliven any match, rendering the contrasting dynamics an enticing element for viewers.
Expect the Unexpected at Elimination Chamber
WWE Elimination Chamber 2024 promises to build the foundation for WrestleMania 40 while striving to cater to the Australian audience’s desires. As Rhea Ripley takes her place at the main event level as the defending champion, the night becomes a reflection of her achievements and aspirations. Though The Rock and Roman Reigns will be absent, WWE subtly hints at multiple surprises awaiting fans, ensuring an evening that won’t be easily forgotten.
