Seth Rollins has punched his ticket to the final spot in the upcoming Elimination Chamber match after a grueling victory over long-time rival Finn Bálor. The high-stakes qualifying match carries massive implications for the "Road to WrestleMania 42," as the winner of the Chamber will move on to challenge for the Undisputed WWE Championship at the grandest stage of them all. The match began with a startling display of aggression from Bálor, who sought to catch Rollins off guard. In a move that shocked the crowd, Bálor successfully executed Rollins' own signature "Pedigree" in the opening minutes, nearly securing a lightning-fast pinfall. Despite the early onslaught, "The Visionary" showcased the resilience that has defined his career, mounting a fierce comeback with a stiff forearm to Bálor’s face before shifting his strategy to focus on Bálor's knee.

As the physical toll mounted, the match became a battle of attrition. Rollins appeared to suffer a rib injury mid-contest, providing Bálor with a clear target to exploit. The two superstars traded momentum in a series of punishing sequences, leading to several heart-pounding near falls. Tensions reached a boiling point during a controversial moment when the referee’s count for a Rollins pin attempt was heavily disputed by the vocal audience, adding another layer of drama to an already electric atmosphere. In the final moments, Rollins’ tactical precision proved to be the difference-maker. After scaling the ropes to deliver a high-impact superplex, Rollins followed up with his devastating "Stomp" to finally keep Bálor’s shoulders on the mat for the three-count. With this victory, Rollins secures the sixth and final pod in the Elimination Chamber, joining a star-studded field that includes Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, LA Knight, and Je'Von Evans as they vie for a date with destiny at WrestleMania.
