For the second year in a row, Elimination Chamber is going overseas. As the company announced via a press release, the premium live event will emanate from the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada on March 1, 2025. Reacting to the groundbreaking announcement, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H took to X.
The Game affirmed that they’re bringing 10 tons of steel en route to WrestleMania 41. It’s worth noting that next year’s Elimination Chamber would be only the third WWE event to be held at Rogers Centre, the erstwhile SkyDome. Situated nearby the North Shore of Lake Ontario, the venue has previously hosted WrestleMania X8, which featured the Icon vs.
Icon match between Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Hulk Hogan. Before that, WWE toured the sporting haven in 1990 for WrestleMania 6. Hogan headlined the show with The Ultimate Warrior.
About 25 years removed from that night, the current crop of WWE Superstars will vie it out at the Elimination Chamber. As has been the norm since 2018, the event will circle around the high-stakes Chamber matches for both men and women. The Road to #WrestleMania 41 is rolling through Toronto… and we’re bringing 10 tons of steel with us.
#WWEChamber. Toronto. March 1.

In 2024, WWE was in Perth for the Elimination Chamber. The event clocked over 52,000 fans on an evening that saw Drew McIntyre and Becky Lynch win their respective chamber bouts.

Several local names, like Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Chelsea Green, etc. , are expected to make the cut for the event among other high-profile stars. WWE Elimination Chamber in 2025 will be John Cena’s last Earlier this year at Money in the Bank, John Cena announced his WWE retirement tour.
Keeping that in check, the Elimination Chamber 2025 is going to be his last ever as an active wrestler. John Cena announces number of dates for his retirement tour (via WWE)That being said, he’s an overwhelming favorite to partake in the men’s chamber showdown if he fails to seal his WrestleMania fate at the Royal Rumble. Cena, for sure, is going to leave no stone unturned to outlast 29 other men in the Rumble, assuming he’ll be in that match.
Elimination Chamber 2025 likely is the final chance for Toronto fans to see John Cena perform live. It’s the final PLE before Mania, so I imagine he’ll be here. Wouldn’t shock me to see a marketing campaign centred around that, similar to what #WWE is doing with #WrestleMania https://t.

A recent report suggested that WWE is planning for the Peacemaker star to challenge for either of the world titles at WrestleMania 41. That’d make a compelling story for John, who’d be chasing a record-breaking 17th reign.
