Cody Rhodes qualifies for the Men’s Elimination Chamber match.
On this week’s WWE SmackDown, Cody Rhodes, Jacob Fatu, and Sami Zayn were scheduled to participate in the Men’s Elimination Chamber qualifying match.
Before this bout, Drew McIntyre commented on these three wrestlers and insulted them during the promo. McIntyre also said that he wants Sami Zayn to win.
At one point during the match, it seemed Jacob Fatu would pin Sami Zayn after the latter got hit by a Cody Cutter. But then, McIntyre showed up and he Claymore’d Fatu. He hit his finisher on Rhodes as well in an attempt to help Zayn qualify. But the American Nightmare kicked out.

McIntyre continued his attack on Rhodes, but then got hit with the Helluva Kick. This provided Rhodes with an opportunity to hit the Cody Cutter on Zayn for the pinfall.
Cody Rhodes has now become the third wrestler to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber 2026 match after Randy Orton and LA Knight.
