A Look Over WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 Betting Odds

With Logan Paul replacing Jey Uso, as a participant in tonight's Elimination Chamber match, betting markets for the contest - to determine the number one contender for Drew McIntyre's Undisputed WWE Championship - have been taken off the board across a number of sports betting websites.

It isn't the only market that is a conspicuous absence from BetOnline's coverage of WWE Elimination Chamber 2026.

As of the time of writing, it's also no longer possible to gamble on the result of CM Punk's World Heavyweight Championship defence against Finn Balor.

Customers can still wager on the victor of the Women's Elimination Chamber match as well as on the outcome of the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship clash between Becky Lynch and her challenger - AJ Lee.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 Betting Odds

Last night's WWE Smackdown opened with Jey Uso being taken away in an ambulance following an apparent backstage attack. The show was partially built around setting up the sixth participant in the match. Logan Paul won the right by beating Jacob Fatu in the main event.

Paul now replaces Uso who replaced Bronson Reed, who was reportedly scheduled for the contest before suffering a legitimate injury in Monday's qualifier. 

As you'll see, before the market was taken down, Cody Rhodes was the odds-on favourite to win with his price descending from -125 into -400 between Tuesday and Thursday of this week. From Thursday, however, there appeared to have been interest in a Randy Orton win because the Viper's price was lowered into +200 from +275 by yesterday evening.

On the eve of  Royal Rumble Weekend, I acknowledged the reports of a potential triple threat match at WrestleMania which would see Drew McIntyre defend his strap against Cody Rhodes and Jacob Fatu. Going by post-Rumble TV, it feels like it's still a possibility because McIntyre interfered in last night's main event by costing Fatu the spot in the Elimination Chamber. That act alone leads me to believe Fatu is still - somehow! - in the mix for the Undisputed WWE Championship match at WrestleMania.

Using logic, with Fatu not in tonight's match and Cody Rhodes a runner, that obviously makes him correctly positioned as the odds-on favourite. 

Randy Orton in second-place also seems reasonable considering there have been reports about a possible four-way at Mania. By having Orton win, it adds more chapters to Rhodes' chase to regain the strap. 

I'm also open to there being some sort of qualifier on night one of WrestleMania to add either Orton, Rhodes or Fatu into a triple threat title match should that be on the night two card ahead of CM Punk .vs. Roman Reigns. Time will answer that one.

Had I written this post yesterday, rather than today, I would have likely pointed out that Rhea Ripley has been the punters' choice to win the Women's Elimination Chamber match because her price plummeted from +500 into -175 between Tuesday and yesterday afternoon.

I had a feeling Ripley would retain the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship with Iyo Sky against The Irresistible Forces, on last night's Smackdown, because I suspected she, and Sky's for that matter, Mania participation would have something to do with wrestling The Bella Twins on the April card. Alas, I would have turned out to be incorrect.

Being a Saturday morning booker, I would have likely sided with Tiffany Stratton ahead of last night's Smackdown. It was only because she had no apparent course - on the horizon - before Smackdown. After yesterday's TV, it seems likely Stratton has a feud with Chelsea Green lined up because Green was on commentary and took a bump during Stratton's win over Kairi Sane.

Ripley took the pin in the tag team loss. If she isn't winning tonight, that would mean one of the most protected wrestlers on the roster will have back-to-back losses in succession. 

Going by the prices, I think it's now acceptable to witness Ripley as the odds-on fave for tonight. Her price has slid into -400 , from last night's -160, since losing the tag titles.

I was baffled to see Raquel Rodriquez open as the betting favourite for the match. BetOnline had the Judgment Day member at odds of +140 when I was alerted to the market's existence on Tuesday. The wagering has seen Rodriquez drift out to +900 although her price was recently reduced into the +700 in which you'll currently find her.

In storyline, Rodriquez is tied to Liv Morgan's title shot quest against Stephanie Vaquer. I suppose the oddsmakers might have concluded the two Judgment Day members could be going for both of the major singles titles in WWE.  It still made no sense on paper considering Jade Cargill .vs. Raquel Rodriquez would be a heel .vs. heel matchup. 

I keep reaching one conclusion: the oddsmakers made a mistake by confusing Rhea Ripley with Raquel Rodriquez because both have double R initials.

The CM Punk .vs. Finn Balor market fairly opened with Punk heavily-favoured to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. He had been kept at -5,000 from Tuesday10th February through to whenever the market closed overnight. Balor was written up at +1,200 but the market was readjusted a week last Friday with the challenger's odds lowered to +1,000.

Punk is set to defend the strap against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. To be frank, tonight is a lame duck match because of that fact. The odds are correctly positioned with Punk so short.

And that's not even factoring in the match is in Punk's home city of Chicago.

Another Punk/Chicago tie-in is AJ Lee, who's set to challenge Becky Lynch for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Title tonight.

Punk's wife has been a favourite to get a decision over Lynch throughout the market's existence. However, most of the adjustments have sided with the champ to successfully retain because her odds, after initially moving up from +200 to +225, have lowered into +145 over the past seventeen days.

This will be AJ Lee's first singles match in almost eleven years. The show will emanate from her current residence of Chicago. I believe it's sound to consider AJ Lee to be the favourite for this one even though some of the bettors are evidently going the other way.

I'll return later on with any updates should they become available.
