In the lead-up to Elimination Chamber 2024 in Perth, Australia, WWE orchestrated a press event featuring top-tier talents like Chief Content Officer Triple H, Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, Rhea Ripley, Grayson Waller, and more.
Post the press gathering, the internet buzzed with a circulating photo of WWE legend Batista, leaving fans to speculate about his potential appearance at Elimination Chamber 2024 in Australia.
However, dampening the excitement, it has been revealed through Getty Images that the viral picture is not recent; it dates back to April 21, 2023, during the filming of My Spy 2 in Rome, Italy. Contrary to fans’ hopes, Batista is not presently in Australia, quashing the anticipation of a surprise appearance.
Despite this revelation, anticipation remains high for Elimination Chamber 2024, which promises a stacked card and potential surprises. Recent reports from BWE hint at the Women’s World Championship match between Nia Jax and Rhea Ripley being the show’s main event.
WWE seems keen on projecting Ripley as a major star, leveraging her popularity in her home country to elevate the event’s appeal.

While some fans were rooting for the Men’s Chamber Match, featuring Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, Bobby Lashley, and Logan Paul, to headline the show, Ripley’s overwhelming popularity at the pre-event press conference could sway the decision.
Official confirmation is yet to come from WWE’s Stamford headquarters, but signs point towards Ripley taking the center stage.
The speculation adds an element of intrigue to the upcoming premium live event, leaving fans curious about the unfolding developments.
As The Eradicator and The Irresistible Force wrapped up the press event, the reports about Ripley’s main event status gain credibility, leaving us eager to witness how the event unfolds.
The stage is set, and all eyes are on Elimination Chamber 2024, with fans anticipating memorable moments and potential surprises.
