It’s time for the chamber — down under.
The 2024 Elimination Chamber premium live event has arrived and will be held in Australia. It’s the country’s first WWE pay-per-view event in more than five years. Four matches will take place Saturday night − or early Saturday morning if you’re in the U.S. − highlighted by the men’s and women’s Elimination Chamber matches, with the winner of each match getting a championship opportunity at WrestleMania 40 in six weeks.
In other action, the tag team titles will be on the line and Rhea Ripley defends her WWE Women’s World Championship in her home country. WWE fans will also hear from Cody Rhodes and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins as their feud with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and The Rock rages on.
Follow along for all the action from Australia:

WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match: The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) (c) vs. Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell
It was a great decision to have Hartwell compete in front of her home country, and her getting some early shots in got the crowd hyped before the event officially began. The chants for Hartwell were also great spots.
Eventually, the champions took control of the match, showing off their chemistry with fast yet hard hitting moves on LeRae. It took some time, but when LeRae tagged in Hartwell, the crowd got loud to see their native star put in some work as she displayed power on Sane and Asuka.
There were some near pins for the challengers, but Sane interrupted the momentum from the challengers and LeRae was left on her own. Asuka then set Sane up for the Insane Elbow, flying high to drop one of the best finishers in the women’s division to get the pin and retain the titles.
It was hard to imagine the tag team champions losing their titles in kickoff event, but it was a solid opening to the day, and the standing ovation for Hartwell − even after defeat − was heartwarming.

How does the Elimination Chamber match work?
Introduced to WWE in 2002, the Elimination Chamber match puts six stars in an enclosed steel structure that surrounds the ring and the area right outside of it.
The match starts with two competitors, while the other four participants are locked in pods that are just outside of the ring. Every five minutes, a new competitor is randomly selected to be released from the pod and into the match.
Since it’s an elimination match, competitors are eliminated if they are pinned or submitted, as there are no disqualifications. Whoever is the last person remaining after everyone else has been eliminated at the end of the match is the winner.
Saturday will be the 33rd and 34th Elimination Chamber match in history. Since its inception, the match has served as championship match or winner gets a championship match at WrestleMania.
