WWE Elimination Chamber heads to Chicago a week from Saturday. The Men’s Chamber field is taking shape with four competitors already confirmed for the bout. Randy Orton, LA Knight, Cody Rhodes, and JeVon Evans have already qualified, but two spots remain open.
Damian Priest, Trick Williams, and Carmelo Hayes will battle on SmackDown this Friday, while Jey Uso, Bronson Reed, and the “Real” El Grande Americano will compete in a Triple Threat next week on RAW. Nonetheless, despite an incomplete field, we can reasonably predict some shenanigans that would occur in Chicago.
On that note, let’s look at 3 WWE stars who could interfere in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match.
Aleister Black had some intriguing words for Randy Orton this past week on SmackDown. The ominous man from Amsterdam has taken an interest in Orton’s relationship with former mentee Cody Rhodes. Rhodes has advanced into the Men’s Chamber match, but it’ll be riveting to see how the dynamics with the Apex Predator play out.
Nonetheless, the 14-time World Champion is unlikely to win the chamber and progress to WrestleMania. Having said that, Aleister Black seems like his most likely opponent at The Show of Shows. The seeds of their Mania feud could be planted in Chicago when Black invades the Men’s Chamber match and costs Orton his shot at the World Title.
Brock Lesnar has not been seen since the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble match. As one of WWE’s biggest attractions, Lesnar will certainly have a big match at WrestleMania, and he could begin his program in Chicago by invading the Men’s Elimination Chamber match.
The rumor mill suggests that LA Knight might end up battling the Beast at WrestleMania. From a storyline perspective, it makes sense because Knight has been a thorn in the Vision’s path for several months. The Vision is under the tutelage of the Oracle, Paul Heyman. With Bron Breakker out of the equation due to injury, the Father of ECW could turn to his greatest weapon.
Lesnar’s relationship with Heyman is well documented, and the Beast has done the Oracle’s dirty work several times. Thus, to deal with the “LA Knight” problem, Heyman could orchestrate Lesnar’s return at Elimination Chamber.
Jacob Fatu has been a significant curveball in Cody Rhodes’ Road to WrestleMania. The Samoan Werewolf was indirectly responsible for Rhodes losing his WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre. Furthermore, their encounter at Saturday Night’s Main Event in January ended before it even began.
Although Fatu was unable to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber, it doesn’t appear as if he is done with the American Nightmare or the Scottish Warrior. It’s entirely possible that WWE books a Triple Threat between McIntyre, Rhodes, and Fatu for The Show of Shows.
Hence, fans shouldn’t be surprised if the former US Champion invades the Elimination Chamber and lays waste to Rhodes. This interference could prove decisive in the outcome, but Rhodes, being the superhero, could still persevere and book his ticket to Mania.
