The last two competitors for the WWE Elimination Chamber matches have been finalized ahead of the event scheduled for Saturday night, February 28, 2026. Jey Uso earned his place in the men’s match by defeating Bronson Reed and Original El Grande Americano in a triple threat contest on Monday Night Raw. Meanwhile, Raquel Rodriguez advanced in the women’s triple threat qualifier by pinning Kairi Sane, securing her spot against Iyo Sky and others.

These victories ensure both Uso and Rodriguez will compete for championship opportunities at the pay-per-view event, making the 2026 Elimination Chamber card complete.

Unexpected Match Outcome and Bronson Reed’s Injury

Although Jey Uso emerged with the win, reports indicate that Bronson Reed was originally slated to win the match but may have sustained an injury during the bout. According to Wrestling insider WrestleVotes, the injury forced WWE officials to adjust the planned result at the last moment.

Video footage shared by LuigiWrestling shows Bronson Reed suffering what appears to be a shoulder injury, causing him to leave the match prematurely.

The severity of Reed’s injury has not been fully disclosed, but it has been confirmed that he will be out indefinitely.

Raquel Rodriguez Advances in Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifier

In the women’s triple threat qualifier, Raquel Rodriguez secured a decisive pinfall over Kairi Sane after executing her signature Tejana Bomb. This victory places Rodriguez firmly within the six-woman Elimination Chamber match.

With Liv Morgan selecting Stephanie Vaquer as her WrestleMania 42 challenger, the women’s Elimination Chamber match now becomes a direct path to a title shot against WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill.
