Match 1: Cody Rhodes vs. Sami Zayn vs. Jacob Fatu:
In a triple threat match, these three competitors battled it out for a spot in the Elimination Chamber.

Accompanied by Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss took on Giulia and Zelina Vega in a triple threat Elimination Chamber qualifier. The match showcased the talent and determination of these women, with Bliss ultimately pinning Vega to secure her spot. And this is the part most people miss: the absence of disqualifications made the lack of interference surprising, leaving fans wondering if WWE missed an opportunity for a more dramatic finish.
Women's Tag Team Championships: Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky vs. Lash Legend and Nia Jax:
Tiffany Stratton, fresh from her WWE title loss, started the show with a promo, only to be interrupted by Jax and Legend. This led to the highly anticipated tag team championship match.

The post-match chaos was more thrilling than the match itself, leaving fans wanting more.
