Event is also notable for John Cena's heel turn since 2003. Cena won men's Elimination Chamber match, earning a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41, only to immediately turn on Cody Rhodes, the reigning champion, in a shocking post-match assault ordered by The Rock.
Drake can be seen sitting in the front row behind the announcers (along with
Lil Yachty) Celebrities sitting in attendance are usually featured on camera. Although Drake is arguably the most famous person to come from Toronto, his attendance is not mentioned at all.
Elimination Chamber 2025 took place at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This marked the first WWE premium live event (PLE) at the venue since WrestleMania X8 in 2002, when it was still called the SkyDome.
It was the second Elimination Chamber event to be held in an outdoor venue, following the 2024 event in Perth, Australia. The Rogers Centre, while typically a domed stadium, adds a unique setting compared to the usual indoor arenas.
