The following list looks at just nine of the most obvious botches at WWE Elimination Chamber 2026.

#9. LA Knight slips delivering his elbow

LA Knight was part of the men’s WWE Elimination Chamber match before he was eliminated by Logan Paul, but even though he wasn’t in the match for very long, he was still part of a major botch.

Knight climbed up to the top rope to deliver his flying elbow, but slipped off. He landed on his feet and instead landed an elbow from the ground, as Randy Orton laughed at him from the mat.

#8. Alexa Bliss and Rhea Ripley

The WWE Women’s Elimination Chamber match was littered with botches, but many fans pointed out that one of the major ones came between the surprising duo of Alexa Bliss and Rhea Ripley.

Bliss tried to lock in Sister Abigail, but the two women were unable to maneuver into it and went back and forth, almost falling before they were hung up on the ropes.

#7. AJ Lee is called AJ Styles

AJ Lee was able to win the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship last night at Elimination Chamber, but it seems that Michael Cole has not adjusted to her return just yet. With all the attention on AJ Styles’ recent WWE exit, it seems that the veteran got them confused when he called AJ Lee, AJ Styles.

Wade Barrett didn’t even step in to correct him this time, since he had already had a number of mistakes, calling Kiana James, Zelina at one point.

#6. Je’Von Williams

Je’Von Evans stepped into his first Elimination Chamber match last night, and the night didn’t start out well for the Young OG, since announcer Mark Nash seemingly had no idea who he was.

As he made his way out to the ring, Nash called him Je’Von Williams, seemingly confused with Trick Williams, as the commentary team can be heard laughing in the background.

#5. Finn Balor slips in the corner

Finn Balor was stomping on CM Punk in the corner when he was also the victim of a rare botch when he slipped, and for a moment, it took him a while to recover. He was trying to lift himself up, but it didn’t work out for him, and he ended up slipping and almost falling on Punk.

Balor is rarely part of botches, and this one came as a shock for the former WWE World Champion.

#4. Alexa Bliss factual error

Alexa Bliss was part of the Elimination Chamber pre-show and was able to open up about wanting to win the chamber for a second time. Sadly for Bliss, it seems that her promo wasn’t fact-checked before she went live, since she isn’t the first person to win twice; that accolade belongs to Bianca Belair.

#3. LA Knight walks into his own pod

LA Knight made his way out to the ring for the Elimination Chamber match and it seems that he was unaware of his surroundings because he walked straight into the plastic door of his pod.

It was a forgettable night for the man who calls himself The Megastar and it seems that it started out the way it continued.

#2. Logan Paul drops Je’Von Evans on his head

Logan Paul was able to make quite the statement in the chamber after eliminating three men, but his last one, Je’Von Evans, seemingly caused him a major injury.

Evans took the Paulveriser on his head, which led to some concern from fans that he had a concussion. It looked like Paul actually botched his own finisher and almost injured the Young OG.

#1. Major botch in AJ Lee vs Becky Lynch WWE match

Becky Lynch could be calling for a rematch after she lost her title at Elimination Chamber, but interestingly, the former champion actually lost her title to a finisher that wasn’t even locked in correctly.

Lee is supposed to pull back on the arm as she locks in the Octopus stretch, but when she did it to Lynch, she still had her arms around her waist, so it’s unclear how she was able to lock in the move.
