LA Knight

Summary

iShowSpeed ran into The Vision backstage and reluctantly escorted them to the ring, becoming an important sub-plot of this one. Logan Paul shoved Speed into LA Knight at one point, which drew the ire of Knight. This led to Knight getting distracted by Speed and Logan later and Theory was able to win via the surprise roll up (and some tight holding). The real story was the aftermath. Knight went to battle with The Vision and the Usos came to his aide. We ended with a promo where Knight asked Pearce for a 6-man tag match at Mania. And that match was confirmed!

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.

Summary

The Men’s Royal Rumble match also featured 30 participants, mixing established stars, surprise returns, and breakthrough performances. Oba Femi made a huge early impact by entering at #1 and eliminating several competitors, including Rusev and Solo Sikoa.

The final stretch came down to Roman Reigns (#26), Gunther (#30), Randy Orton, and Logan Paul as the last four. Reigns ultimately survived the fray by spearing Gunther, eliminating him over the top rope to win his second career Royal Rumble and punch his WrestleMania main event ticket.
