• Ticket Costs Skyrocket For WWE Elimination Chamber 2026
WWE’s Elimination Chamber 2026 presale has officially begun, and early ticket availability is already drawing attention for its extremely high pricing at the top levels. The event is set to take place on February 28, 2026, at the United Center in Chicago, and fans looking for premium seating are finding some staggering numbers attached to the front rows.
As part of the presale, off-center Row 1 seats are available for roughly $5,180 each, making them some of the most expensive non-package front-row seats WWE has ever offered for a U.S. premium live event. These seats place fans right at ringside but not directly in the center camera view.
The highest-priced options, however, come from WWE’s On Location hospitality packages. The Ringside Row 1 Center packages are listed at around $32,500 per seat, and availability is already extremely limited. These premium packages typically include perks such as priority entry, exclusive merchandise, meet-and-greets, and other VIP experiences, with the front-row center location being the main attraction.
While standard tickets for the event start much lower, the presale prices for the very best seats illustrate WWE’s current trend of marketing its major premium live events as luxury experiences. The company has increasingly leaned into VIP hospitality offerings at major shows, and Chicago’s Elimination Chamber premium live event appears to be no exception.
With presale now underway and general tickets expected to sell quickly, wrestling fans in Chicago are preparing for one of WWE’s most expensive premium live event seat selections to date.
• Dolph Ziggler Reveals Original Plan For His RAW Return
Dolph Ziggler (Nic Nemeth in TNA) returned to WWE main roster programming on this week’s RAW and lost to Solo Sikoa in John Cena’s “The Last Time Is Now” tournament.
On Busted Open Radio, Ziggler revealed when WWE informed him about his return:
“Two, three weeks, perhaps. There is a handful of surprises and big moments that everybody remembers. I didn’t tell my parents. I told my brother. ‘If anybody finds out, I’ll know you told them because I told nobody else.’
I’m in a group chat with Bobby Roode, Zack Ryder, and Brian Myers. I didn’t say anything. Me and Zack didn’t say anything. He said nothing.”
Later during an interview with Jonathan Coachman, Ziggler revealed that WWE originally planned to announce his return in advance by revealing the tournament bracket. Ziggler thought that was a very bad idea. In the end, WWE decided to keep Ziggler’s return a surprise.
• “This is inappropriate and it is harassment” – AJ Lee Calls Out Fan
A fan who met AJ Lee at a signing decided to use AI to make AJ kiss him. He posted this video on YouTube and AJ saw it. This led to AJ replying the following: “This is inappropriate and it is harassment. Please delete.”
Below is the original photo of this fan with AJ, which he later edited:
As of this writing, the fan hasn’t deleted the video and the video has gained over 10,000 views. A lot of fans in the comments section advised this fan to delete the video or he’d get sued.
Speaking of AJ Lee, she returned to WWE programming on this week’s RAW, which was her first appearance on TV since Wrestlepalooza. Her return distracted Becky Lynch, which resulted in Maxxine Dupri defeating The Man to win the Women’s Intercontinental Championship at Madison Square Garden.
Later on in a backstage segment, Rhea Ripley approached AJ to talk about something. According to reports, AJ will join Rhea’s WarGames Team at Survivor Series 2025.
