It\u2019s the obvious main event of night two in Las Vegas come April 19, as it should be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It just made it painfully obvious exactly how Punk\u2019s title defense against Finn Balor at tonight\u2019s (Sat., Feb. 28, 2026) Elimination Chamber premium live event at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois was going to go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The tension was in the tease, and they tried their best to give us a few doubts. Punk sold the midsection like hell, and even got his mouth busted open. Fans even counted along for the pinfall attempt after the Coup de Grace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">One of the better spots in the match was Punk managing to turn a second Coup de Grace into a Sharpshooter. He didn\u2019t win off it but it looked cool!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Anyway, it was a GTS that took Balor down, clean in the middle of the ring. The Judgment Day did indeed acquiesce to Balor\u2019s request that he handle things on his own. It did not go well for him. He did shake Punk\u2019s hand after the match, however.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Get complete Elimination Chamber results and coverage of every match on the card by clicking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagesideseats.com\/wwe\/420715\/wwe-elimination-chamber-results-live-match-coverage\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WWE is quite clearly banking on CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns for the world heavyweight championship to carry&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":497967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[88,165350,4366,212502,8316],"class_list":{"0":"post-497966","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-wrestlemania-42","10":"tag-wwe","11":"tag-wwe-elimination-chamber","12":"tag-wwe-raw"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=497966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/497967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=497966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=497966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=497966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
