Reasons to Watch WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 Chicago

CM Punk & Finn Balor Steal The Show

CM Punk has been on quite the side quest along the way to the main event, WrestleMania. With part-timer Roman Reigns staying away from WWE, Punk is making do with a mini program opposite Finn Balor. The two had previously put on a banger of a match for the World Heavyweight Championship.

It was one with a telegraphed finish, but one that had the crowd jumping out of their seats. We can expect the same at the Elimination Chamber, but with a hometown crowd fueling the action.

Roman Reigns and CM Punk have already been decided for WrestleMania, so the finish of this match will surprise no one. That doesn’t mean that it won’t be an entertaining ride from two of the best on the Raw roster. Punk and Balor have always met expectations in the ring, and they have plenty of motivation come Saturday.

Balor is looking to prove that he can still compete at a high level, while CM Punk is hoping to raise the bar as he heads to WrestleMania. There is so much going for this match that it’s impossible to expect anything less than greatness.
