WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 Superstars Ranked - Call the Spot on the Card #38

Posted by Anthony Mango Sunday, February 22, 2026

Welcome to another edition of CALL THE SPOT ON THE CARD, where we present a list of wrestlers and you must choose what place on the WWE Roster Hierarchy they should be put in: 1) Main Event, 2) Upper Midcard, 3) Midcard, 4) Jobber, or 5) Released (or any alternative extra categories that may be added for bigger lists).

The rules are that each spot must be filled and only one person can be in each spot, so no ties can happen, nor can anyone opt out. No matter how difficult it might be, you have to pick.

Call the Spot WWE Elimination Chamber ranked

This edition will focus on the Superstars competing in the WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 cage matches.

Since this is a 6-person setup, that means the ranking will consist of the following scale:

Released
Jobber
Midcard
Upper-Midcard
Main Event
Hall of Fame

Here is your lineup of the competitors in these matches that you need to place on the scale:

WOMEN'S NO. 1 CONTENDER'S ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH

Alexa Bliss vs. Asuka vs. Kiana James vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Tiffany Stratton

6) RELEASED = Tiffany Stratton

Given the lineup, Stratton going to AEW would be the biggest game changer. They could use someone like that in their division to really take charge and be a superstar with both athleticism and the looks and personality aspect that only comes with being more of a "WWE" person.

5) JOBBER = Raquel Rodriguez

Sorry Raquel.

4) MIDCARD = Kiana James

I've always seen a lot of potential in Kiana James. To see her getting some attention lately is awesome. Underrated performer. Overlooked.

3) UPPER MIDCARD = Asuka or Alexa Bliss

The Main Event and Hall of Fame spots go hand-in-hand with me a lot of the time, and ultimately, as much as someone like Asuka or Alexa Bliss will both obviously get inducted and could rightfully headline the show any given year, along with Rhea Ripley, I look at those three spots and give the Main Event spot to the person I think should be at the top, holding the belt, right now, compared to the other more supportive roles.

Honestly, between Asuka and Bliss, I can't decide who is better to be someone who can nearly win the title, but doesn't. They're both two of the best ever, and it's really a matter of whether you are prioritizing storytelling and promos or in-ring action.

2) MAIN EVENT = Rhea Ripley

As stated, Ripley would be the one I would put the belt on out of this list, at this particular moment.

1) HALL OF FAME = Alexa Bliss or Asuka

As stated, it's an even tie between if I think Bliss or Asuka would be better used as the legend role who puts people over, or the legend role who steps aside. I wouldn't want either to go, but I would probably say Bliss could also be a general manager type and still would be an effective character for years to come, so I would be down to put her in the HOF sooner and "retire" her, but keep her around as an authority figure.

MEN'S NO. 1 CONTENDER'S ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH

Cody Rhodes vs. Je'Von Evans vs. Jey Uso vs. LA Knight vs. Randy Orton vs. Trick Williams

6) RELEASED = Jey Uso

This is not a knock that I think Jey should get fired by any means, but I know if I was going to miss one of these guys at this particular moment, he would be the one that I would miss the least. I think the entrance went from being fun to something I could use a break from.

5) JOBBER = LA Knight

Yeah! I mean, no. No! I wouldn't want to make him a jobber, but he would be the best at the role and still garnering enough crowd interest to prevent him from being fully buried. He'd work his way out of it, essentially, which sucks because that feels like that's what WWE is always doing with him. It's that typical "I'll be mad at you, because you'll forgive me" type of mentality that I'd hate to perpetuate, but I just feel like I couldn't put anyone else in this role other than Jey, and I think Knight being released wouldn't be a great move to AEW. He'd probably end up in TNA again, and I don't want that for him, but I would be okay with that happening to Jey, you know?

4) MIDCARD = Je'Von Evans

Strap the rocket to him, though. If Evans doesn't win the Intercontinental Championship by the time 2026 is over, we should riot.

3) UPPER MIDCARD = Trick Williams

Likewise. Give him the United States title at any moment and I'm applauding it. Sorry, Melo, but you've got to lose it eventually, and there's nobody better to win it from Carmelo Hayes than his former tag team partner.

2) MAIN EVENT = Cody Rhodes

Woah.

1) HALL OF FAME = Randy Orton

Duh.

WHO WOULD YOU PUT IN WHICH SPOTS?
