Fans were well aware of the major moments that were taking place throughout the show, but some smaller details took place at times.

Indi Hartwell Competes At Her First Non-Royal Rumble PLE

The Australian Wrestler Received A Huge Response From The Fans

  • Indi Hartwell & Candice LeRae competed in the pre-show
  • The match was added late on Friday
  • They were unable to win the Women's Tag Team Championships

Indi Hartwell has been with WWE for several years now, and first moved to the main roster in 2023. However, the Elimination Chamber marked her first-ever premium live event performance outside of a Royal Rumble. Hartwell has turned up in two Rumble matches, but hasn't made a significant impact in either, which made this a much bigger moment.

She was part of the pre-show alongside Candice LeRae as they took on The Kabuki Warriors for the Women's Tag Team Championships. It was an emotional moment for Hartwell due to the fact she's Australian, which led to a big reaction for her. This is ultimately why she got booked onto the show, and it was a smart decision on WWE's behalf.

The First Ever Non-Chamber Women's Match Headlines This PLE

  • It was also the first time that either woman has headlined a premium live event
  • This was Rhea Ripley's first time wrestling in Australia for WWE
  • It was Jax's first singles title match since she returned to the company

WWE went all in on the Australian aspect of this show by having Rhea Ripley headline the entire premium live event, which was a huge moment for her personally. However, it was also a historic spot for the Elimination Chamber as an event because there has never been a women's match that isn't an Elimination Chamber encounter headline the show.
