During the latest episode of “WWE SmackDown,” the first participants for the Men’s and Women’s Elimination Chamber matches were confirmed, showcasing thrilling competition and surprising outcomes.
The action kicked off with a Women’s elimination qualifier featuring former WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton competing against Lash Legend and Chelsea Green, who had Nia Jax and Alba Fyre supporting them at ringside, respectively. Green nearly clinched victory with an impressive coast-to-coast maneuver that knocked both Stratton and Legend to the mat. However, Jax intervened, pulling Green from the ring just as she was about to secure a pinfall. Following a chaotic exchange outside the ring, Stratton managed to regain control and executed her trademark Prettiest Moonsault Ever, successfully pinning Legend for the win.
The main event brought fans a highly anticipated triple threat match between Aleister Black, Randy Orton, and Solo Sikoa. Earlier in the night, Sikoa had been seeking the rest of the MFT but came up empty, leading to speculation about their possible absence due to interference from the Wyatt Sicks. The excitement intensified as WWE Champion Drew McIntyre made an appearance only to be interrupted by Trick Williams, who vowed to stay at ringside for the upcoming clash.
Inside the ring, Orton showcased his signature moves, landing an RKO on Black, but as Black rolled out, Sikoa tried to capitalize. In a turn of events, Orton caught Sikoa with another RKO, securing a pinfall victory. The night’s matches set up a thrilling atmosphere leading into future events, looking to capitalize on the momentum built during this week’s SmackDown episodes.
With the anticipation building for the Elimination Chamber matches, fans can expect more intense rivalries and strategic gameplay as the WWE continues to deliver captivating storylines and matchups.
