WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 delivered intense action inside the structure, but the Women’s Chamber match also saw an unexpected moment when Raquel Rodriguez and Kiana James experienced brief wardrobe issues during the live broadcast. Despite the situation, both superstars handled the moment professionally and the match continued without any major disruption.
The incident happened during the fast-paced action at the United Center in Chicago, where the six-woman match was being contested for a major opportunity on the road to WrestleMania 42.
What Happened Inside the Chamber
During a sequence in the match, part of Raquel Rodriguez’s gear shifted out of position while she was performing a high-impact move. The situation occurred quickly, and she immediately adjusted her attire before continuing the action. Because the moment happened so fast, the broadcast did not cut away in time.

A similar minor issue also occurred earlier in the match involving Kiana James after a heavy impact spot. Like Rodriguez, she quickly fixed her gear and continued competing without delay.
Both incidents were brief and did not affect the flow of the match.
