Summary
kicked off with Cody Rhodes and Je’Von Evans starting things inside the unforgiving steel structure. Early on, Trick Williams’ entrance added chaos as he immediately targeted both men with hard strikes and threw them around the ring, showcasing his speed and aggression. When Logan Paul entered next, he became the early focal point — his opponents ganged up and hurled him through a pod before scrambling back into the fray.
As the match accelerated with LA Knight’s arrival, the competition spilled to the top of the pods and the unforgiving walls of the Chamber. Knight delivered his signature BFT on Williams from the top of a pod, electrifying the crowd, while Orton — the final entrant — methodically cut through the field with cold-blooded precision once his pod opened.
Throughout the bout, bodies were smashed into the steel, with big moves and near-eliminations keeping the tempo high. Alliances of convenience formed briefly — only to break apart — and every competitor scored some momentum with impactful offense. Despite spirited offense from Rhodes and Knight, Orton used his veteran instincts to time his counters perfectly, delivering multiple RKOs “outta nowhere” at key moments inside the structure.
In the final stretch, Orton withstood a barrage of offense, fought off multiple opponents at once, and found openings to hit decisive strikes. When it was down to the wire, his calculated aggression paid off: he capitalized on a wear-down sequence to hit a crushing RKO on his final opponent, pinning him inside the steel and becoming the last Superstar standing in the match. With that win, Orton punched his ticket to face the Undisputed WWE Champion at WrestleMania 42, continuing his chase for a historic 15th world title.
