Event

Early storms in Perth, which caused the Rottnest Channel Swim to be abandoned, created some concerns about its potential impact on the Elimination Chamber event going ahead. The weather cleared as day progressed with 52,590 fans attending the event in person.


Pre-show

There was one match that occurred on the Elimination Chamber: Perth Kickoff pre-show in which The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) defended the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship against Candice LeRae and Australia native Indi Hartwell. The Kabuki Warriors retained after Sane performed an Insane Elbow on LeRae for the pin.


Preliminary matches

The actual event opened with the Women's Elimination Chamber match for a Women's World Championship match at WrestleMania XL. Becky Lynch and Naomi started the match. Tiffany Stratton exited the pod first, followed by Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Bianca Belair. Naomi hit a Sunset Flip Powerbomb on Morgan, but Stratton rolled up Naomi in a pin for the elimination. Stratton hit a Swanton Bomb off the top of a pod onto everyone. Stratton was then eliminated by Morgan after Morgan performed the Oblivion and pinned Stratton. Lynch locked Rodriguez in the Dis-Arm-Her and then Armbar submission holds, but Belair eliminated Rodriguez after performing the KOD and pinning her. Morgan delivered a Superplex on Lynch, who got her knees up on Belair's 450 Splash. Belair attempted a KOD on Lynch, who landed on her feet. Morgan eliminated Belair with a rollup pin and then Lynch hit the Manhandle Slam on Morgan and pinned her to win and earn a match for the Women's World Championship at WrestleMania. Next, The Judgment Day (Finn Bálor and Damian Priest, accompanied by "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio) defended the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship against New Catch Republic (Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate). Bate hit a Tope Con Hilo through the ropes on Priest, but Mysterio pulled Priest's foot under the rope, which resulted in the referee ejecting Mysterio from ringside. Dunne and Bate hit a Double Tyler Driver '97 and a Double Birminghammer on Bálor for a nearfall. In the end, Priest hit a Double South of Heaven Chokeslam on both and then Bálor performed the Coup de Grâce on Dunne to retain. After that, in his home country, Grayson Waller (along with

Aftermath

Due to the success of Elimination Chamber: Perth, on February 28, 2025, WWE announced a return to Perth for a future PPV and livestreaming event, as well as tapings of ''Raw'' and ''SmackDown''. This would be confirmed as the 2025 Crown Jewel, scheduled for October 11, with ''SmackDown'' on October 10 and ''Raw'' on October 13.


Raw

The following episode of ''Raw'' opened with Women's World Champion, Rhea Ripley (accompanied by Judgment Day stablemate, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio), talking about her victory against Nia Jax and that no matter who she faced for the title, she will always come on top. Becky Lynch, who won the women's Elimination Chamber match, came out and congratulated her for her victory against Jax and warned her she would beat her for the title at WrestleMania XL. Ripley responded by saying she is the backbone of the women's division and suggest that Lynch should win something to get to her level. The two superstars briefly entered into a heated argument before Lynch was attacked by Jax. In retaliation, Lynch attacked Jax during her match with Liv Morgan, which resulted in a match between them on the following ''Raw'', but ended in a no-contest as Morgan interfered in their match. On the March 11 episode, following Lynch's win over Morgan, Jax slammed Lynch through a table backstage. The rivalry would end on the March 18 episode, which saw Lynch defeat Jax in a

Rollins responded by telling him there are bigger things to worry about than just the two of them. He further highlighted that some risks are worth taking and that taking out The Bloodline was important for they would secure the future of the industry before leaving the ring. During the final segment, following his victory against Grayson Waller, Cody Rhodes was approached by Paul Heyman (who was flanked with three security guards). Heyman pleaded with him to withdraw his challenge against The Rock for there would be dire consequences if he didn't co-operate. However, Rhodes wasn't fazed, forcing Heyman and his guards to enter the ring. Rhodes, however, fended off the guards and exclaimed that he's going after The Bloodline if that's what it takes to finish his story.
