Ranking every Men’s WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 wrestler by their chances of winning

WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 will emanate from the United Center in Chicago on Feb. 28, and following Roman Reigns's Royal Rumble victory, the match to determine the other world championship opponent at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas feels ripe for a potential surprise. Currently, the two main male champions in WWE are World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk on Monday Night Raw and Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre over on the SmackDown side. Punk and Roman have been on a collision course for 'Mania 42 after their feud in 2024 and 2025 culminated in a Triple Threat match that actually led to a victorious Seth Rollins - and Paul Heyman defecting to The Architect to create The Vision faction. So Roman and Punk is one match squared away, and now, the Elimination Chamber will tell us McI...

The dream feud for heel Cody Rhodes is obvious to everyone

Cody Rhodes has not turned heel on WWE television yet, and while there is no clear indication that WWE will actually go ahead and pull the trigger on a turn, this is a move that fans have been anxiously waiting them to make for about a year. In fact, WWE sort of teased a double turn at the Royal Rumble last year when Cody and Kevin Owens fought for the world title, brutalizing each other in a match in which KO got the worst of it and Cody seemed at his most menacing. And then they could have even tried a double turn later at SummerSlam in the feud with John Cena with the crowd fully moving behind a now babyface Cena and edging a bit against Cody. Cody Rhodes has taken John Cena's torch But the real change in the winds has occurred now in 2026. Cody Rhodes just dropped the WWE Title...

WWE snubbed Edge for Cody Rhodes when everyone knows the truth

It's Royal Rumble season, as the most exciting Pay Per View of the WWE calendar is officially less than two weeks away. And before every Rumble, the second most exciting thing - after speculating about who will win it or return this year - is looking back at past Rumble moments over the years. As many WWE fans speculate that AEW star Chris Jericho will make his return to Triple H World on January 31 in Saudi Arabia, the WWE itself ranked its 10 greatest ever Royal Rumble returns. Funnily enough, Jericho is already on the list in No. 10 for his 2013 return. And as is customary, John Cena pretty much wrapped up the No. 1 spot for his 2008 return from a torn triceps that was perfectly kept under wraps. John Cena's moment wasn't bigger either But as iconic as Cena's return was back the...

There’s only one acceptable Cody Rhodes outcome now (and it’s not winning the Royal Rumble)

Now that Cody Rhodes has dropped the WWE Title to Drew McIntyre, so much of the landscape of the company's booking going into WrestleMania 42 has drastically changed. The long rumored rematch between Cody and Roman Reigns has been all but fully scrapped by Triple H and the company, with McIntyre now leading the charge and Cody, despite being the babyface, starting to get "Cody sucks" chants and raucous boos, almost as if to officially seal the transition of taking the "top guy" mantle from the now retired John Cena. Cody did something else official in London on the Friday, January 16 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, announcing his intention to compete at Royal Rumble 2026 in Saudi Arabia - and potentially put himself in rarified air with three career Rumble victories. The thing ...

Cody Rhodes rejecting The Rock’s offer at Elimination Chamber was inevitable

We're in some interesting times in wrestling right now. We get a surprise announcement that The Rock was returning and making an appearance as "The Final Boss" on the February 21, 2025 episode of SmackDown. Rumors begin swirling all over social media that a match or two was being cut to make room for whatever big was going to happen. And then we get... this segment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWImFo9vHow I don't think I've seen a segment send so much of the internet wrestling community into... complete confusion as to what the f*ck is going on! I'm going to ignore the first part of that segment because it could've been an email. No shade. We'll focus on the second half for the sake of this article. The Rock wants Cody Rhodes to be his WWE Champion The Rock brings out ...

Ranking the 10 best wrestlers in WWE right now for 2023

Ranking the best professional wrestlers in WWE is even more difficult than ranking the best athletes in other sports - or even ranking wrestlers in another promotion. That's because in WWE, there is so much to consider. Not only do you have to think about the components of athleticism and in-ring story-telling (or the quality of the moves themselves at a technical level, accounting for varying styles), but you also have to think about everything that goes outside of the ring. That includes presence, promos, charisma, facial expressions, and even longevity/consistency. Comparing heels to faces, tag team wrestlers to singles wrestlers, and all sorts of other scenarios makes for an even greater challenge. But let's do our best to rank the 10 best wrestlers in WWE right now. 10. Jimmy U...
