SPOILER: Potential Winner Revealed For Men's Elimination Chamber 2025 (WWE News)
John Cena, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Damian Priest, Seth Rollins... who wins in Toronto?
WWE's planned winner for this year's men's Elimination Chamber may have leaked ahead of the 1 March premium live event.
Per Dr. Chris Featherstone via Sportskeeda's Backstage Pass Patreon, WWE currently has Drew McIntyre winning at Elimination Chamber 2025, besting CM Punk, John Cena, Logan Paul, Seth Rollins, and Damian Priest.
McIntyre is entering the match as an outsider. Paddy Power currently has John Cena as the favourite at 10/11, followed by CM Punk at 6/4, with Drew at 10/3. Rollins' odds are 16/1, Paul 20/1, with Priest the most distant at 25/1.
WWE had previously confirmed that whoever wins at Elimination Chamber 2025 will challenge for Cody Rhodes' Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41 (19 and 20 April). Royal Rumble winner Jey Uso is already set to face World Heavyweight Champion Gunther at 'Mania, leaving one world title slot free.
If McIntyre ends up facing Rhodes, it would represent a huge pivot from WWE's reported original 'Mania idea for Drew. The Daily Mail claimed after Royal Rumble 2025 that WWE had McIntyre vs. Damian Priest lined up for WM41, which was seen as a "nothing match" by sources. The outlet added that Drew felt worthy of a bigger WrestleMania match after "the most successful year of his career in 2024."
Will Drew McIntyre face Cody Rhodes at WWE WrestleMania 41?
Featherstone reported two weeks ago that the online "backlash" to McIntyre vs. Priest leaking had "opened up internal discussions to reevaluate current plans." If Drew is legitimately being considered to win the Elimination Chamber and face Cody at 'Mania, it'll be a huge change away from a potential midcard match with Priest and towards a possible headliner vs. Cody.
This is assuming WWE follows through with the Elimination Chamber winner facing Rhodes, though - and that the McIntyre plans hold firm under Saturday's event.
Cena has been heavily-rumoured as Rhodes' opponent for WM41, with the soon-to-retire star's chase for a 17th world title pivotal to his retirement storyline. Punk, meanwhile, has been teased on WWE television, though he has been linked to a Triple Threat against Rollins and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
Meanwhile, The Rock looms over Elimination Chamber 2025 like the Sword of Damocles. In typically chaotic fashion, Dwayne Johnson appeared on last Friday's SmackDown, telling Rhodes he wanted his soul and confirming he'll be at Elimination Chamber. Given Rock came within a hair of taking Rhodes' Undisputed WWE Title shot away from him after winning last year's Royal Rumble, he may again disrupt the order coming out of the Chamber.
