Kevin Owens entered the Men’s Elimination Chamber match with the desire to earn a title shot at WrestleMania 40, but that wasn’t his only goal for the match.
Owens was one of the six entrants in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, alongside Bobby Lashley, LA Knight, U.S. Champion Logan Paul, Randy Orton, and Drew McIntyre. This marked the Prizefighter’s second time competing inside the Elimination Chamber match, after previously competing in the bout in 2021 which was won by Daniel Bryan.
Kevin Owens’ Make-a-Wish Promise
Early into his part of the match, Kevin Owens hit a chokeslam, a move that isn’t typically used by the former Universal Champion.

As explained on commentary, Owens had granted wishes with the Make-A-Wish foundation earlier in the day. One young fan had asked Owens to hit a chokeslam during the Elimination Chamber match, a request the Prizefighter was happy to oblige.

While Owens was able to fulfill this request, he did not emerge victorious in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match. The former WWE Universal Champion was the third man to enter the match and was the third Superstar to be eliminated. Owens was eliminated by Randy Orton, who would make it to the final two before being beaten by Drew McIntyre. The Scottish Warrior will now face Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40.
