Tiffany Stratton Sets the Stakes; The Tag Division Explodes

Tiffany Stratton opened the show with a microphone and a chip on her shoulder. Refocusing after losing the WWE Championship three months ago, Stratton made it clear that her qualification for the Elimination Chamber is just the first step in her “Center of the Universe” takeover.
Her moment was interrupted by Nia Jax and Lash Legend. Legend, calling herself the “upgrade” to the division, promised that they would secure tag team gold tonight while sparing Tiffany the embarrassment of a beatdown.
The champions, RHIYO (Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY), weren’t interested in the talk. Ripley reminded the challengers that she is already Chamber-bound—and IYO is soon to follow—but first, they intended to “beat the living hell” out of the pretenders.

In a physical bout that spiraled out of control, the referee called for the bell after “losing control” of the competitors, a decision that drew heavy “Ref you suck!” chants from the Dallas crowd. The carnage continued post-match: Ripley and Legend speared each other through the barricade, while IYO SKY wiped out herself and Nia Jax with a high-flying move through a table.
The “MFT” Takeover and a 10-Man War
Carmelo Hayes arrived to declare that “Melo don’t miss” and intended to defend his United States Title. However, his scheduled match against Ilja Dragunov never started. Solo Sikoa interrupted, claiming Dragunov was unworthy of a shot.
Sikoa’s MFTs (Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, JC Mateo, and Talla Tonga) swarmed the ring, leading to a massive save from Matt Cardona, Apollo Crews, and Shinsuke Nakamura. General Manager Nick Aldis immediately restored order by sanctioning a massive 10-man tag team match.

The Bloodline’s numbers game eventually overwhelmed the babyfaces. In a chilling post-match moment, the Wyatt Sicks appeared briefly on the screen, a silent reminder to the MFTs that they are being hunted.
Elimination Chamber Qualifiers & Backstage Antics
- The Goddess Returns to Form: Charlotte Flair attempted to reconcile with Alexa Bliss by offering flowers and a portrait of herself. The “Queen” promised to be in Alexa’s corner, which seemed to satisfy Bliss.
- Poetry and Power: Kit Wilson attempted to read “toxic poetry” to Nick Aldis, only to be ruthlessly mocked by Damian Priest and R-Truth. Truth’s “rebuttal” poem focused on Wilson losing his manhood to Oba Femi, leading to a match being set between Wilson and Femi for next week.

With Charlotte Flair at ringside, Bliss secured her spot in the Chamber, moving one step closer to championship gold.

4. Rey Fenix vs. Trick Williams Winner: Trick Williams
Trick Williams backed up his words, overcoming the high-flying Rey Fenix to qualify for the Elimination Chamber.

A “Valentine’s” Title Defense
Before the Women’s Championship match, Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, and Raquel Rodriguez set up a full Valentine’s Day dinner at ringside to “scout the talent.”
5. [WWE Women’s Championship]: Jade Cargill (c) vs. Jordynne Grace Winner: Jade Cargill (Retains)

In a battle of titans, Cargill proved why she is the most dominant force in the division, hitting Jaded on Grace for the victory. Post-match, Cargill got in Liv Morgan’s face, warning the Royal Rumble winner that if she chooses Jade for WrestleMania, the result will be the same.
The Main Event: Chaos in the Chamber Hunt
Drew McIntyre took to the mic to disparage his potential Chamber opponents, labeling LA Knight a “catchphrase merchant” and Randy Orton a spent force. He was interrupted by Sami Zayn, whom Drew patronizingly “supported,” claiming he wanted Sami to win because he’s a “good man.”
6. [Elimination Chamber Qualifier]: Jacob Fatu vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Sami Zayn Winner: Cody Rhodes

In a frantic Triple Threat, Drew McIntyre did everything in his power to ensure neither Rhodes nor Fatu would win. Despite the WWE Champion’s heavy interference, Cody Rhodes persevered to secure the victory and a spot in the Elimination Chamber.
