WWE Elimination Chamber Odds & Picks (2026)
CM Punk is a major favorite in the latest 2026 Elimination Chamber odds. Punk is returning to his hometown of Chicago to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor.
AJ Lee, Punk’s wife, will also challenge Becky Lynch for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. There will, of course, be the titular Elimination Chamber matches at the PLE as well. Keep reading to see the current odds and my pick for the 2026 Elimination Chamber this Saturday, February 28th, in Chicago.
Odds for the 2026 Elimination Chamber
BetUS provided the following odds for the 2026 Elimination Chamber PLE.
| Match | Favorite | Prediction |
|---|---|---|
| Men’s Elimination Chamber | Cody Rhodes (-200) | Randy Orton (+200) |
| Women’s Elimination Chamber | Rhea Ripley (-300) | Tiffany Stratton (+200) |
| WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship | AJ Lee (-300) | Becky Lynch (+200) |
| World Heavyweight Championship | CM Punk (-5000) | CM Punk (-5000) |
Cody Rhodes (-200) and Rhea Ripley (-300) are the favorites in the Men’s and Women’s Elimination Chamber matches, respectively, at top wrestling sportsbooks. Both have been champions before and are no strangers to title matches at WrestleMania.
In one of the two singles matches on the card, AJ Lee is a -300 favorite to dethrone Becky Lynch for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. CM Punk is a -5000 favorite to successfully defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor.

2026 WWE Elimination Chambers Predictions
Continue reading for a closer look at the updated WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 betting lines.
Men’s Elimination Chamber
Cody Rhodes’ run with the Undisputed WWE Championship ended on January 9th when the American Nightmare dropped the belt to Drew McIntyre.
Rhodes is now a -200 favorite to earn a rematch with McIntyre at WrestleMania 42 by winning the Elimination Chamber. He is closely followed by fellow SmackDown superstars Randy Orton (+200) and LA Knight (+400).
Men’s 2026 Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns has already chosen to face CM Punk, the RAW champion, at ‘Mania, so the winner of this match will face McIntyre.
With a win, this would be Rhodes’ fourth straight WrestleMania with a match for the Undisputed title. He lost to Reigns at 39 before beating him at 40. Last year, Rhodes dropped the belt to John Cena on the big stage.
McIntyre has plenty of bad blood with the SmackDown superstars in this match, including Rhodes. However, I think that Randy Orton (+200) is the better pick.
Orton, who turns 46 in April, has little time left as a full-timer and has been a mentor to Rhodes over the years. Taking Rhodes’ title match from him could build heat for the inevitable match between Rhodes and Orton. McIntyre and Orton also have a long history, so it would not be hard to build up their match for WrestleMania.
Women’s Elimination Chamber
On the Women’s side, Rhea Ripley is a -300 favorite to win the Elimination Chamber. Ripley’s longtime rival, Liv Morgan, won the Women’s Royal Rumble and challenged Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship.
With Vaquer already booked for ‘Mania, the winner of this match will instead challenge SmackDown champion Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship.
Cargill won the belt by taking down Tiffany Stratton at Saturday Night’s Main Event in November. Stratton, who held the belt for 302 days, is listed at +200 odds to earn a rematch with Cargill at WrestleMania.
It took Cargill multiple attempts to beat Stratton for the belt, so a rematch seems inevitable. It would also prevent Ripley from having to switch brands and leave her schedule open to defend the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship alongside partner Iyo Sky.
WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship
Lynch has been a dominant WWE Women’s Intercontinental champion, but she is a +200 underdog heading into Saturday’s Elimination Chamber PLE. AJ Lee, who returned to the WWE last September after a decade away from the company, is the -300 favorite in this match.
Lee beat Lynch in the former’s return to in-ring action, a mixed tag that also involved their husbands, CM Punk and Seth Rollins, at Wrestlepalooza. Lynch tapped to Lee’s finisher, the Black Widow submission. She also forced Lynch to tap out at Survivor Series: WarGames to secure the win for her team in the titular match.
It is easy to see why Lee, a fan favorite who will be beloved by the Chicago crowd, is favored. However, this is also just her third match back, and first singles action, since she returned. Also, having Lynch win, especially by cheating, will set up another match between the two at WrestleMania 42.
World Heavyweight Championship
As mentioned above, Punk is set to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42. So, it is no surprise that Punk is a -5000 favorite to retain his title this weekend against Finn Balor (+1000).
Balor is a great worker, and this should be one of the best matches on the card. However, as the odds suggest, there is little to no chance of Balor winning on Saturday.
At -5000, Punk has an implied probability of 98.04%.
The pop from the crowd for “Cult of Personality” will be crazy, and they will be even louder when Punk retains his title.
Who is in the Mystery Crate at the 2026 Elimination Chamber?
During the February 16th episode of Raw, a mysterious crate was delivered to GM Adam Pearce. A note on the crate says it will be opened on February 28th, the date of the Elimination Chamber PLE.
BetUS has AEW star Danhausen as the -200 favorite to be in the crate. Chris Jericho, who has been with AEW since 2019, also has favorable odds at -150.
Bianca Belair has the best odds among current WWE superstars at +250. Pat McAfee and Saraya, formerly known as Paige, round out the top five at 4-1 and 6-1, respectively.
Rumors have swirled for months about Jericho’s return to the WWE. He had one of the most memorable debuts in the company, and his returns have also been must-see events. Considering that, I think Jericho is the best bet in this Elimination Chamber prop.
Top Elimination Chamber Sleeper Picks
As evidenced by his 2025 Royal Rumble win, the WWE is doing its best to push Jey Uso. He has a long history with McIntyre from his time in the Bloodline and would be a good babyface opponent for the heel champion.
In the Women’s Chamber match, my top sleeper is Asuka (+1400). No one can question Asuka’s credentials, and she would help build Cargill’s resume as a legitimate champion. Asuka also has plenty of experience and is a great worker who could carry a match with Cargill at ‘Mania.
Raw Gm Adam Pearce was hesitant to approve Balor’s match with Punk in fear of jeopardizing the latter’s match with Roman Reigns at ‘Mania. Maybe that was just story building, but it could have been foreshadowing. No one is expecting Balor to win, so this could be the perfect chance for the WWE writers to zig when everyone is expecting them to zag.
Tips for Betting on WWE Elimination Chamber
Wagering on the 2026 Elimination Chamber odds is a great way to increase your enjoyment of the event. Before you bet, consider these WWE betting tips.
