2024 WWE Elimination Chamber results, recap, grades: Drew McIntyre, Becky Lynch earn WrestleMania title shots

McIntyre will challenge Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40 while Lynch will face Rhea Ripley

All four WrestleMania world title matches are set after the conclusion of Saturday's Elimination Chamber event in Perth, Australia. There were no major surprises at the event as Drew McIntyre and Becky Lynch emerged from their respective Elimination Chamber matches as winners who will go on to challenge for titles at the biggest show of the year.

McIntyre was given a big hand by Logan Paul, who had already been eliminated from the match, when Paul ran back in to knock Randy Orton out using brass knuckles. Lynch's win was far less controversial as "The Man" simply outlasted the five other entrants in the match to claim her shot at the women's world championship.

That title was on the line in the night's main event when champion Rhea Ripley thrilled her home country crowd with a dramatic win over Nia Jax. Ripley's win sets up a title defense against Lynch at WrestleMania.

Plus, both the men's and women's tag team champions were in action on Saturday with each titleholders getting big victories. The Kabuki Warriors proved to be too much for Indi Hartwell and Candice LaRae. Meanwhile, Judgement Day members Damian Priest and Finn Balor handled Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate.

CBS Sports was with you the whole way through the event, providing updates and highlights as the action went down in the live blog below.

2024 WWE Elimination Chamber results, grades

WWE Women's Tag Team Championship -- The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) (c) vs. Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell (Kickoff Match): The challengers got off to a good start with both Hartwell and LeRae taking the fight to Asuka and Sane. That didn't last long before LeRae found herself isolated from her partner. After a long build to the hot tag, LeRae finally tagged in Hartwell, who quickly ran through offense on the champs. The challengers picked up a few near falls before Sane intervened as Hartwell was helping LeRae walking the top rope, putting both challengers down. Sane then delivered the elbow drop to LeRae to score the pinfall victory. Hartwell was obviously the hometown favorite in this one but did not have the big moment. Like so many matches on kickoff shows, there wasn't much meat to the match but it was perfectly serviceable for what it was. Result: The Kabuki Warriors (c) def. Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell to retain the titles. Grade: B-

Women's Elimination Chamber Match -- Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair vs. Liv Morgan vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Naomi vs. Raquel Rodriguez: Lynch and Naomi were the two women who started off in the ring. They did a bit of working counters and trading pin attempts before taking the action onto the platform surrounding the ring. Naomi had one of the early highlights of the match, dropping her split legdrop onto Lynch after climbing partway up the wall of the Chamber. The next woman to enter the match was Stratton. After the customary run of hot offense from the latest entrant, things settled back down into a rhythm of Stratton, Lynch and Naomi trading moves and looking to score the first elimination of the match.

Morgan was next to enter the match and immediately began throwing Stratton into the plexiglass walls of the pods. Lynch put Stratton's arm through the chain link wall of the chamber before locking in an armbar. Moments later, Stratton scored the first elimination when she pinned Naomi after Naomi hit Morgan with a sunset flip bomb. Rodriguez entered the match after Naomi's elimination. Lynch, Morgan and Stratton began to work together to try and take out the big threat of Rodriguez.

Once Belair entered the match, the big moves ramped up with much more action on top of the pods. Stratton hit a diving swanton from the top of the pod onto Lynch, Rodriguez and Belair. Stratton was the next woman eliminated when Morgan hit a flatliner from the second rope. Rodriguez was out shortly after following a Belair K.O.D. Belair then took over the match for a stretch, tossing Morgan and Lynch around. Morgan stole a pin on Belair after Lynch countered a K.O.D. but Morgan turned around into a Manhandle Slam by Lynch to end the match. 

Beyond Lynch punching her ticket to a title match at WrestleMania, the story of the match may be Stratton, who had a fantastic showing and won over the crowd to the point that Morgan was booed for eliminating her. Result: Becky Lynch wins, last pinning Liv Morgan. Grade: B+

Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship -- Judgment Day (Damian Priest & Finn Balor) (c) vs. Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate: Bate and Dunne came out fast, taking the fight right to the champions with blistering offense. Balor had to survive that blitz before Priest finally got a blind tag to enter the match and immediately started to punish Bate. Priest and Balor -- with some cheap shots from Dominik Mysterio at ringside -- then worked Bate over while cutting him off from his own corner. After receiving the hot tag, Dunne hit Balor and Priest with a moonsault from the top rope to the outside. The momentum flipped back and forth with both teams nearly snatching the victory. Dunne hit Balor with The Bitter End but Mysterio slid Balor's foot under the bottom rope to break the pin, leading to Mysterio being tossed from ringside by the referee. The challengers again nearly had the match won after a Double Tyler Driver on Balor only for Priest to break the pin. The action continued to swing back and forth until Balor finally landed a Coup de Grace to score the win. 

This was a fantastic tag match. There wasn't really any drama coming in over who would win but the action was kept at a fast pace and all four men delivered. Result: Judgment Day def. Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate via pinfall to retain the title. Grade: A-

Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins appeared on The Grayson Waller Effect. The biggest news coming out of the segment was Rollins saying he was just days away from being medically cleared to compete and Rhodes saying he wanted to go one-on-one with The Rock anytime, any place. Rollins told Rhodes that he would have his back whenever that match takes place because nothing involving The Bloodline is ever one-on-one. The segment ended with Rollins and Rhodes taking out Austin Theory.

Men's Elimination Chamber Match -- Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton vs. Bobby Lashley vs. LA Knight vs. Kevin Owens vs. Logan Paul: Knight and McIntyre got the match going. Surprisingly, Knight delivered the majority of the offense during the opening run, including smashing McIntyre's head into Owens' pod while Owens punched the other side of the plexiglass. Owens was the next man into the match. He went on the expected run and scored some near eliminations on both Knight and McIntyre but all three men remained in the match until Bobby Lashley's pod opened.

Lashley and McIntyre had a bit of a powerhouse battle before Knight and Owens got back involved but again no one was eliminated before the next entrant, in this case, Randy Orton. Orton delivered the hanging DDT onto the platform outside the ring and began to clutch his back, which continued every time Orton delivered or took a move. When Paul entered as the final participant, Orton was waiting outside his pod to immediately attack.

Lashley eventually delivered a spear to Paul, putting him through the plexiglass of one of the pods. Moments later, McIntyre hit Lashley with a Claymore to score the first elimination of the match. Knight delivered Blunt Force Trauma to Orton and then to McIntyre, but as he attempted to score the pin AJ Styles ran into the chamber and hit Knight with a chair before delivering a Styles Clash onto the same chair. This allowed McIntyre to reach over and pin Knight. After delivering a few stunners, Owens was caught by an Orton RKO for the elimination.

Paul pulled out the brass knuckles but couldn't use them before Orton flew in with an RKO for yet another elimination, leaving it down to just Orton and McIntyre for the shot at Seth Rollins' title at WrestleMania. A spinebuster from McIntyre left Orton down, clutching his back. McIntyre set up for the Claymore but Orton remained down. As McIntyre stood over Orton, Orton exploded with an RKO but before he could make the pin Paul ran back in and blindsided him with his brass knuckles. McIntyre capitalized and pinned Orton to punch his ticket to WrestleMania. 

A half step down from the women's Chamber match, but still mostly good stuff as everything continues to build to WrestleMania. Result: Drew McIntyre wins, last pinning Randy Orton. Grade: B

Women's World Championship -- Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Nia Jax: Unsurprisingly, the crowd was entirely behind Ripley. Jax got off to a fast start, grounding Ripley with strikes, including a headbutt. Jax also dropped onto the champion with a senton and leg drop. Ripley eventually tried to fight back by grabbing a guillotine choke but Jax continued to dominate as she delivered a series of powerbombs. Every time Ripley would build a bit of momentum, a big move from Jax -- such as a second-rope Samoan drop -- would cut her off.

After the action spilled outside, Jax dropped Ripley on the commentary desk with another Samoan drop before delivering a splash through the table. Back in the ring, Jax delivered an Annihilator but Ripley managed to kick out. Ripley managed to escape being hit with a second Annihilator and hit a superplex. That was enough to set up Riptide and the championship-retaining pinfall. 

It's fun to see a dominant and physical champion have to work from underneath in a match, which is what Ripley had to do in this match. It wasn't anything particularly special but it was a fine match in front of an invested crowd and now Ripley goes on to WrestleMania where she'll defend her title against Becky Lynch. Result: Rhea Ripley def. Nia Jax via pinfall to retain the title. Grade: B
