Live Coverage.
- Wade Barrett & Vic Joseph welcomed the audience to the broadcast. He addressed the possible participants for the 2025 Elimination Chamber and Solo Sikoa attacking him, but Drew McIntyre immediately interrupted him. McIntyre took offense with Rhodes making him less when mentioning him as one of the participants of the 2025 Men's Elimination Chamber, pointing out he had been a multiple-time world champion and former winner of the Elimination Chamber. Rhodes mentioned he remembered McIntyre was one of the men who had defeated him in the past and he had not forgotten, but they were interrupted by The Bloodline (Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga). Fatu said he would dog-walk Damian Priest & Braun Strowman's asses, winning the Elimination Chamber, and bringing the WWE Title back to his family. McIntyre was intrigued with a match with Fatu later but said Fatu was Rhodes's problem now. Rhodes told Fatu they could fight after he qualified. After Solo Sikoa was seen arriving to the arena, Fatu held Rhodes back and told him he would speak with Sikoa first regarding family. Rhodes responded by saying Fatu could get the first word with him, but he would get the last.
- Women's Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match: Naomi (w/ Bianca Belair) def. Chelsea Green (w/ Piper Niven).
- Sami Zayn cut a promo on Social Media specifying he did not know when he would be cleared but when he was cleared, he and Kevin Owens would go again and it would not be fun for Owens.

- Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga confronted Solo Sikoa backstage, where Sikoa explained he needed to take some time off after losing the Ula Fala and said he was now ready to come back and take over the company. Sikoa then said he "loved" Jacob, but Fatu then left.
- WWE Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura cut a promo, where he had been waiting for four weeks for someone to challenge him, but said that no warriors were here and no one was here to rise against him, just the same guy looking for the approval of mindless fans. Nakamura was immediately interrupted by LA Knight, who said Nakamura had been hiding in the shadows but Nakamura saying he waiting for someone to challenge him was a bunch of BS. The Miz interrupted and admitted he was wrong about LA Knight because he had the crowd a the palm of his hand, which made the crowd basic. Knight said he knew what Miz was about to say the same things he had been saying over the last 10 years, which was the last time he was relevant, before saying Miz should start a retirement tour because everyone was ready to see him go away. Miz said LA Knight was a one-trick pony, but Knight responded by saying The Miz sucked. The two engaged in a brawl, leading to Nick Aldis booking LA Knight to face The Miz now.
- LA Knight def. The Miz via Pinfall (Flying Elbow Drop).
- Nia Jax & Candice LeRae trained backstage before Alexa Bliss told Jax to have fun tonight. Jax said she was familiar with Bliss's antics, but Bliss hoped she won tonight so they could face each other in a WrestleMania rematch.
