WWE Elimination Chamber 2026: Nobody in the Writers’ Room Noticed They Ran the Same Promo Twice
One week before WWE Elimination Chamber 2026, the company’s creative team proved nobody reads each other’s scripts — running an identical promo twice in the same broadcast. Je’Von Evans shocked Gunther to qualify for the chamber. Kiana James did something even harder, pinning both Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax in a triple threat. AEW, by contrast, delivered a 5-star Kenny Omega vs Swerve Strickland match and is heading into Revolution 2026 with genuine stakes on the line.
Cody Wins WWE Elimination Chamber Qualifier—But All Three Are Going Anyway
The WWE Elimination Chamber qualifier on SmackDown saw Cody Rhodes defeat Sami Zayn and Jacob Fatu after Kevin Owens interference, but nobody believes this is over—all three are probably ending up in the Chamber anyway.

It was a genuine moment that showed the human side of sports fandom.

The women’s tag division — anchored by Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY — might be the strongest it’s ever been, but can it headline? Meanwhile, Sami Zayn’s world title window is closing fast, Chelsea Green’s babyface turn is being engineered through WWE’s Unreal show, and AEW Dynamite delivered back-to-back shock finishes with Brody King squashing MJF while a Las Vegas crowd chanted political slogans.
Royal Rumble 2026 Results: Roman Reigns Wins, But WHERE Was Chris Jericho?
The Royal Rumble 2026 results are in, and if you watched the Wrestling Uncensored live reaction, you know the verdict is complicated. Roman Reigns won his second Royal Rumble—exactly as Dave Simon and Johnny North predicted 24 hours earlier. Liv Morgan claimed the women’s Rumble. AJ Styles’ WWE career ended against Gunther. On paper, this […]
