WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 is set to take over the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on Saturday, March 1, 2025. The action kicks off at 5:00 PM ET with the Kickoff show, leading into the main event at 7:00 PM ET, available on Peacock in the U.S., WWE Network internationally, and local cable pay-per-view providers. With WrestleMania on the horizon, the stakes couldn't be higher. Let's dive into the key matches and predictions for the night. Men's Elimination Chamber Match John Cena vs. CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Jake Paul vs. Damian Priest This match is overflowing with star power, egos, and chaos—just the way we like it. Cena’s "retirement tour" has been more of a slow farewell wave than a full-blown spectacle, and unless he’s ready to commit weekly, strapping him with a WrestleMania main event seems like a waste. On the other hand, Punk has been on fire, and his war of words with Cody Rhodes has all the makings of a must-see feud. If WWE is smart, they’ll pull the trigger on Punk. But let’s not forget the wildcard: Jake Paul. If WWE wants mainstream attention, don’t be shocked if the YouTuber-turned-boxer sneaks in an upset. Prediction:  CM Punk wins, but expect chaos. Women's Elimination Chamber Match Bianca Belair vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Naomi vs. Liv Morgan vs. Bayley vs. Roxanne Perez Bianca Belair’s loss of the Women’s Tag Titles screams “bigger plans ahead.” She’s a proven main-eventer, and WWE knows fans are dying to see her clash with Rhea Ripley one-on-one at WrestleMania. But hold up—Alexa Bliss is back, and WWE loves a good redemption arc. Still, WrestleMania is all about big-money matchups, and Belair vs. Ripley has the most heat behind it. Expect Belair to run through the field and set up a blockbuster showdown. Prediction:  Bianca Belair wins—because she’s that girl. Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens (Unsanctioned Match) Whenever these two go to war, expect blood, broken bodies, and emotional turmoil. These two have made a career out of fighting each other, and this won’t be any different. Zayn is the ultimate underdog, but Owens thrives in a lawless environment. In a match with no rules, KO is the odds-on favorite to unleash carnage and walk out victorious. Prediction:  Kevin Owens wins, but this feud is far from over. Tiffany Stratton & Trish Stratus vs. Nia Jax & Candice LeRae Tiffany Stratton is WWE’s next golden girl, and she needs every ounce of momentum heading into WrestleMania, where she faces Charlotte Flair. Trish Stratus is back to show she’s still got it, and let’s be real—no one wants to see Nia Jax bulldoze her way to a win here. This one’s all about boosting Stratton’s stock before the biggest match of her career. Prediction:  Tiffany Stratton & Trish Stratus take the W. Final Thoughts Elimination Chamber 2025 is shaping up to be a night of shocking moments and high-stakes drama. With WrestleMania on the horizon, every match could change the landscape of WWE. Whether it’s CM Punk proving he’s still the Best in the World, Bianca Belair punching her ticket to the biggest stage, or Owens and Zayn beating the hell out of each other, expect nothing short of fireworks. Buckle up—it’s going to be a wild ride.

The winds of change are blowing through Ring of Honor, and at the eye of the storm is none other than La Catalina. The former WWE star and current CMLL Amazon made her explosive debut in ROH this week, and she wasted no time making an impact. Facing off against the icy and ever-athletic Lady Frost, La Catalina proved she was not just another fresh face—she was a force to be reckoned with. From the moment La Catalina strutted to the ring, dripping in confidence and exuding the presence of a true Diva Del Ring, the energy shifted. Lady Frost, always game for a challenge, flashed a grin, knowing she was in for a battle. And battle they did! The two women traded momentum early on, showcasing a mix of Lucha expertise, technical finesse, and sheer athleticism. Frost nearly stole the win with a slick victory roll, but La Catalina, ever the competitor, turned the tide with a vicious running knee. Just when it seemed Catalina had it in the bag, Frost fired back with a crisp German Suplex, proving exactly why she’s a name to watch in ROH. But La Catalina wasn’t about to let her debut be spoiled. With a dazzling display of skill, she caught Frost with an electric chair, then soared with a diving plancha to seal the victory. Post-match, the two warriors shared a moment of mutual respect, embracing in the ring, but the real storm was brewing backstage. Enter Athena—the ROH Women’s Champion and resident ass-kicker. Watching from the shadows, she wasn’t about to let a newcomer waltz into her domain unchecked. In a fiery backstage segment, Athena issued a blunt message to La Catalina, oozing with disdain: “I’m tired of bitches walking into my house without showing respect.”  And just like that, the challenge was set. Next week, it’s La Catalina vs. Athena for the ROH Women’s Championship. Can La Catalina turn her dream debut into championship glory, or will Athena remind her why she runs this division? One thing’s for sure—next week’s title match is set to be an all-out war. Buckle up, because ROH just got a whole lot hotter!

Sports Illustrated just dropped a bombshell of a ranking, declaring Becky Lynch as the greatest WWE women’s wrestler of all time. As expected, the internet is already on fire with hot takes, passionate debates, and some serious side-eye at this controversial list. SI claims the rankings were based on career accomplishments, match quality, character work, impact, influence, and legacy. But did they truly get it right? Here’s their Top 10: 10. Alundra Blayze 9. Bianca Belair 8. Asuka 7. Chyna 6. Bayley 5. Sasha Banks 4. Lita 3. Trish Stratus 2. Charlotte Flair 1. Becky Lynch No doubt, The Man has earned her place among the greats. Becky Lynch broke barriers, became the first woman to win a WrestleMania main event, and carried WWE through some of its toughest times. But is she truly above Charlotte Flair, Trish Stratus, and Lita? Some glaring omissions have fans shaking their heads. Where’s Mickie James, a five-time WWE Women’s Champion with reigns in multiple promotions? No Beth Phoenix, the powerhouse who dominated her era? And what about AJ Lee, whose impact on the Women’s Evolution can’t be ignored? Then, there’s the argument over Charlotte Flair. With 14 (and counting) WWE women’s championship reigns, she’s statistically the most dominant female superstar in history. Can Becky’s legacy really surpass The Queen? Meanwhile, fans of Sasha Banks (aka Mercedes Moné) might feel slighted seeing her behind Bayley despite being one of the most decorated and influential wrestlers of the modern era. And let’s talk about Bianca Belair at No. 9. While she’s an undeniable star, some might argue her legacy is still being written. Does she outrank veterans like Beth Phoenix and Mickie James already? This list will be debated for years to come, but one thing is for sure: the women of WWE have built a legacy too strong to ignore. Whether you agree or disagree, Becky Lynch being named the GOAT proves that women’s wrestling is at an all-time high. What do you think? Did Sports Illustrated get it right, or did they fumble the bag? Let us know in the comments!

The WWE ID program continues to expand, and now, it’s set to feature its own championship titles. WWE’s Head of Creative, Triple H, recently revealed the WWE ID Championship belts on social media, signaling a major step forward in the development of independent wrestling talent within the WWE system. WWE ID: A New Path for Indie Wrestlers The WWE ID initiative, modeled similarly to WWE’s NIL program but designed for already established independent wrestling stars, is focused on identifying, training, and showcasing top talent from the indie circuit. Unlike developmental brands such as NXT, WWE ID allows independent wrestlers to compete within their home promotions while gaining exposure under the WWE umbrella. Tournament to Crown First WWE ID Champions The inaugural WWE ID Champions will be determined through a tournament held across various top independent wrestling promotions. This format ensures that the best indie wrestlers will compete for the prestigious titles, bringing high-stakes action to the indie scene while aligning with WWE’s vision for talent development. Defending the WWE ID Championships Once crowned, the WWE ID Champions will defend their titles on the independent circuit, adding prestige to the belts and integrating them into ongoing indie promotions. This approach will not only elevate the credibility of independent wrestling but also create potential pathways for wrestlers to advance to higher levels, including WWE EVOLVE and NXT. What Defines a WWE ID Official Match? Earlier this month, WWE ID’s social media channels outlined the criteria for what constitutes an official WWE ID match: The match must feature WWE ID Prospects and be officially promoted by WWE ID’s social media accounts. These matches will take place within independent wrestling promotions. The results of these matches will contribute to the WWE ID universe, influencing rankings and future opportunities. Victories in WWE ID matches can advance a wrestler’s career, leading to potential WWE EVOLVE opportunities. Storylines developed through WWE ID matches will continue within the WWE ID universe, allowing rivalries and feuds to grow organically. The stakes of these matches are expected to increase over time, making each bout a significant moment for those involved. The Future of WWE ID As WWE ID continues to evolve, the introduction of championship belts and structured matches presents an exciting opportunity for independent wrestlers to gain visibility and progress toward potential WWE contracts. With the program’s integration into indie promotions and the backing of WWE, the landscape of professional wrestling is poised for a new era where independent wrestlers can showcase their skills on a larger stage. Stay tuned for more updates as the WWE ID Championships take shape and the first champions are crowned!

Last weekend, the unstoppable Athena stormed into Australia for AEW/ROH Global Wars, putting her Ring of Honor Women’s World Championship on the line against the formidable Alex Windsor in a high-stakes, high-impact main event. Pre-Match Fireworks Before the bell even rang, tensions were high. In a backstage interview, the Forever Champion, Fallen Goddess, and American Joshi didn’t hold back, reintroducing herself to her Australian Minions with a sharp warning: she is not to be messed with, not to be overlooked, and absolutely not to be disrespected. ( Are you listening, Tony Khan? ) Alex Windsor, however, didn’t back down. While she acknowledged Athena’s dominance, she made it clear that counting her out could be the biggest mistake of Athena’s career. With the International Women’s Cup winner, Momo Watanabe, lurking in the audience, the stakes felt even higher. A Brutal War in the Ring Once inside the ring, Athena put on a clinic in destruction, manhandling Windsor with a mix of sheer power and undeniable ring IQ. Windsor, to her credit, refused to be steamrolled, landing some serious near falls and unleashing an absolutely jaw-dropping twisting Fisherman Superplex that nearly stole the show. But nearly doesn’t count when you’re facing Athena. The champ snapped Windsor’s momentum in half, cranking up the aggression before sealing the deal with her soul-crushing O-Face, leaving Windsor staring at the lights as the referee counted three. What’s Next? With yet another victim in her wake, Athena continues her reign of dominance. But with Momo Watanabe watching closely, could a new challenger be on the horizon? If so, they better be ready—because Athena isn’t just holding the ROH Women’s Championship, she’s owning it.

Hold onto your seats, wrestling fans, because Michelle McCool is officially heading to the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame , and it's about time! The former multi-time WWE Women's Champion and inaugural Divas Champion is about to be immortalized most fittingly, and her journey from Diva Search contestant to ring legend is nothing short of iconic. McCool made her debut in WWE back in 2004, where she joined the Diva Search competition won by Christy Hemme. Spoiler alert: she didn't win, but WWE wasn't about to let her slip through their fingers . Instead, McCool was handed a multi-year contract and quickly made waves in the company. After some time in developmental, she debuted on the main roster in 2006 with a “sexy teacher” gimmick. But don’t let the title fool you—this was just the beginning of a dominant  career that would shape the landscape of women's wrestling. Early on, McCool found herself in a feud alongside Kristal Marshall, going head-to-head with the likes of Ashley Massaro and Jillian Hall. But it wasn’t long before she went full-on "All-American Diva" , ready to show WWE fans what she was really capable of. Enter LayCool , the power couple that set the WWE women’s division on fire. Paired with her partner in crime, Layla, McCool was no longer just a competitor—she was a force of nature , and their combined diva antics made them the ultimate power couple in the locker room. And let’s not forget her championship credentials. McCool captured the WWE Women’s Championship  twice—once defeating Melina and later taking it from Mickie James. But the most defining moment of her career came in 2008 when she became the inaugural Divas Champion  after a thrilling win over Natalya. McCool didn’t stop there; she took the title a second time from Melina in 2010, solidifying herself as one of the most decorated women in WWE history. Then there was the "Piggy James" storyline—a feud so controversial that it sparked heated debates across the wrestling world. McCool, alongside Layla, relentlessly targeted Mickie James, and the storyline left many fans questioning WWE’s treatment of body image. While it was certainly a tough pill to swallow, it’s undeniably a defining chapter in McCool's career and her legacy as a wrestling villainess. After a nearly seven-year run, McCool retired from full-time competition in 2011, but that didn’t mean she was done with WWE. The Queen of LayCool made surprise returns to the ring, notably in the Women’s Royal Rumble matches starting in 2018, reminding everyone that the spotlight would always shine on her. Now, as she enters the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame, Michelle McCool’s impact on the industry is crystal clear: she didn’t just change the game—she set the standard. From her unforgettable matches to her iconic alliances, McCool is the definition of girl power and an unforgettable chapter in WWE history. Whether you loved her or loved to hate her, her Hall of Fame induction is well-deserved. Get ready to bow down, because the Diva era is forever her legacy!

At AEW’s Grand Slam event in Australia, history was made as Toni Storm captured the AEW Women’s World Championship for a record-breaking fourth time. In front of a roaring home-country crowd, Storm defeated her longtime rival, Mariah May, bringing an end to May’s impressive 174-day reign. The highly anticipated main event saw Storm and May put everything on the line. Storm unleashed four devastating hip attacks in the corner, followed by a Storm Zero, yet May displayed incredible resilience and refused to stay down for the three-count. The defending champion fought back with a series of May Days, but Storm continued to persevere, even surviving a Storm Zero from May herself. In a dramatic conclusion, as May attempted another May Day, Storm countered with a small package, securing the victory and etching her name further into AEW history. Storm’s victory marks a significant milestone in her career, as she becomes the first woman to win the AEW Women’s World Championship four times. Prior to this, she was tied with Hikaru Shida at three reigns apiece. Now, with her fourth championship, Storm is on the verge of breaking another record—most combined days as AEW Women’s Champion. Shida currently holds that distinction with 436 days, while Storm now sits just behind at 424 days. Given Storm’s momentum, she is well-positioned to surpass this milestone. Harley Cameron Faces Mercedes Moné in Career-Defining Match Elsewhere at Grand Slam, Australian rising star Harley Cameron competed in the biggest match of her career against Mercedes Moné for the TBS Championship. Cameron had spent weeks attempting to persuade Moné to grant her the opportunity, even going as far as using her infamous puppet Mercedes to make her case. However, once the bell rang, Moné proved why she is one of the best in the business. The match saw Cameron pull out all the stops, but in the final moments, she went for a high-risk Senton. Moné capitalized on the misstep, rolling out of the way before delivering the Moné Maker for the decisive victory. While Cameron came up short, her performance against a world-class competitor like Moné solidified her as a legitimate contender in AEW’s women’s division. With Toni Storm once again reigning atop AEW’s women’s division, the landscape has shifted. The question now is: who will step up to challenge the history-making champion, and how long will Storm continue to add to her legendary legacy?
