Ahead of the upcoming edition of the blue brand, the wrestling promotion’s official Twitter (formerly X) account posted a video of Nick Aldis advertising the show. The SmackDown General Manager revealed multiple matches for the night, one of which features Aleister Black. On his return to in-ring action, he will compete against Randy Orton and Solo Sikoa in a Triple Threat Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match.

In the video posted on X, Nick Aldis announced that Giulia and Kiana James will challenge Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY for the Women’s Tag Team Championship. It will be the duo’s first title defense on the blue brand and second overall after winning the gold from The Kabuki Warriors on the January 5 edition of Monday Night RAW.

Elsewhere on the card, Tiffany Stratton, Chelsea Green, and Lash Legend will clash for a spot in the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match. 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble winner Liv Morgan will also be at the show.

As she revealed on RAW, Liv Morgan will make a rare appearance to scout WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill. Wrestling fans are still waiting eagerly for The Judgment Day member to choose her WrestleMania 42 opponent.
