The road to WrestleMania 42 reaches its most dangerous detour as the Elimination Chamber descends upon Chicago. With high-stakes title defenses and two career-altering Chamber matches, the Windy City is set for a night of chaos. Here is the ultimate breakdown for WWE betting on this weekend’s massive Premium Live Event.
World Heavyweight Championship
- CM Punk (c): -5000
- Finn Balor: +1000
CM Punk enters his hometown as the most lopsided favorite on the card. Oddsmakers see virtually no chance of “The Best in the World” losing the gold before his rumored WrestleMania collision with Roman Reigns. Balor remains a dangerous threat, but Chicago won’t let their hero fall this close to Vegas.
Women’s Intercontinental Championship
- AJ Lee: -300
- Becky Lynch (c): +200
In a dream match years in the making, AJ Lee returns to her hometown looking to dethrone “The Man.” While Lynch is a seasoned champion, the narrative momentum favors Lee’s historic comeback story. Expect a technical masterclass, but the odds suggest Chicago’s queen will walk out with the Intercontinental title.
Men’s Elimination Chamber Match – (Winner faces the Undisputed WWE Champion at WrestleMania 42)
- Cody Rhodes: -200
- Randy Orton: +200
- LA Knight: +300
- Je’Von Evans: +800
- Trick Williams: +800
- Jey Uso: +900
Cody Rhodes is the clear frontrunner to “finish the story” again by securing a date with Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania. His -200 moneyline places him 200 points ahead of the nearest Superstar.
While Randy Orton (+200) and LA Knight (+300) are strong contenders, the betting public is banking on the American Nightmare to survive the steel and reclaim his main-event spot.
Mystery Crate Reveal – Who will be inside the crate opened during the event?
- Danhausen: -200
- Chris Jericho: -150
- Bianca Belair: +250
- Pat McAfee: +400
- Saraya “Paige”: +600
- Bad Bunny: +700
- Seth Rollins: +800
- Brock Lesnar: +900
- Royce Keys: +900
- Omos: +1400
- David Finlay: +1400
- Kevin Owens: +1600
- Bron Breakker: +1600
- Jake Paul: +1800
- The Street Profits: +2500
- Jelly Roll: +2500
- The Rock: +2800
- Travis Scott: +3000
- The Dropouts (Tuckman & Scott Green): +3500
Chris Jericho – A return for “The Learning Tree” would be a monumental “homecoming.” Having reinvented himself globally, Jericho’s jumping back to WWE to finish his career where he became a megastar makes perfect sense. His history of theatrical, high-concept returns fits the mystery crate’s spectacle, offering a massive “WrestleMania season” boost.
Jericho was considered a lock by pro wrestling betting sites to debut at the 2026 Royal Rumble, and we’re not certain if that helps or hurts his chances in this scenario.
Danhausen – The cult icon’s arrival in WWE has been rumored since his contract status shifted. As a Chicago resident, the hometown pop would be deafening. His persona is a merchandising goldmine, and debuting by popping out of a crate is exactly the kind of eccentric chaos he thrives on.
One downside for Danhausen is his size and injury status. This is no longer Vince McMahon’s WWE, however, so the new regime may be more keen on an entity like Danhausen in 2026.
Women’s Elimination Chamber Match
- Rhea Ripley: -300
- Raquel Rodriguez: +125
- Tiffany Stratton: +150
- Alexa Bliss: +300
- Asuka: +400
- Kiana James: +1200
“Mami” dominates the odds as she looks to punch her ticket to a WrestleMania showdown with Jade Cargill. While Tiffany Stratton (+150) is a rapidly rising favorite with the “Center of the Universe” hype, Ripley’s pure dominance makes her the safest bet to survive the most brutal structure in WWE.
