Jey Uso Is Ready for Elimination Chamber TONIGHT: "Stop Hating" Message, WrestleMania 42 on the Line
Main Event Jey Uso is the most talked-about WWE Superstar heading into tonight's biggest event of the year. The WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 goes live TONIGHT, Saturday, February 28, 2026, at 7:00 PM ET from the United Center in Chicago — streaming live on Netflix internationally — with Jey Uso competing for a WrestleMania 42 championship shot against five elite opponents inside the unforgiving steel structure.
Jey Uso Qualifies for Elimination Chamber in Last-Minute Drama
Jey Uso secured the final spot in the 2026 Men's Elimination Chamber match during WWE RAW on February 23 in Atlanta at State Farm Arena. He defeated both Bronson Reed and El Grande Americano in a Triple Threat qualifying match, picking up the victory over Americano with his signature splash.
The match outcome was reportedly not the original plan. WrestleVotes reported that Bronson Reed was the scheduled winner before suffering a legitimate distal bicep injury during the bout, forcing WWE to call an audible and switch the result on the fly. Despite the chaotic circumstances, Jey Uso is in — and he is fired up.
"Stop Hating" — Jey Uso Fires Back at Critics on ESPN First Take
Appearing on ESPN First Take Thursday, Uso opened up and asked his doubters to "stop hating" and offered them a simple alternative: come watch one of the shows. "Man, just keep watching your TV screen. Open your laptop up, put your iPad up, iPhone out. I'll be on there somewhere, Uce. ESPN, Netflix, this Saturday, it's Elimination Chamber, man. Pick one, Uce. I'll be on there Monday, Friday too. Stay blessed, man, stop hating, man. Come to one of these shows, you might change your vibes. You feel me?"
Jey Uso will be entering the Elimination Chamber for the second time. The first was in 2021, when he had a chance to challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship but came out unsuccessful. This time, the stakes are identical — but the version of Jey Uso entering that structure tonight is dramatically different.
The Full Men's Elimination Chamber Match Card
Jey Uso faces Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, LA Knight, Trick Williams, and Je'Von Evans inside the Elimination Chamber structure at the United Center in Chicago tonight. The winner will advance to WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas to challenge Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Uso appeared on ESPN First Take and suggested he and Cody Rhodes team up inside the Chamber so they can be the last two standing — a crafty diplomatic play from a man whose alliance with Rhodes has been one of WWE's most compelling storylines of the past year.
Jey Uso's Iconic Mid-Match Entrance Is Coming Tonight
The moment every fan is waiting for was confirmed by Uso himself. Jey Uso vowed to "run it back" with a spectacular mid-match Yeet moment at the Elimination Chamber — referencing his viral 2025 Royal Rumble entrance where he paused mid-match to perform his full entrance theme and signature Yeet gesture to a thunderous crowd response.
Jey Uso, one-half of the World Tag Team Champions with his brother Jimmy Uso, heads into tonight's Elimination Chamber as a former WWE World Heavyweight Champion with enormous momentum — and a Chicago crowd that is expected to be absolutely electric for the man they call Main Event Jey.
