WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 is scheduled for March 1 and much like every year the biggest attractions of this event will be the two Elimination Chamber matches; one for women and the other one for men. Winners of the two matches will get to challenge the other World Champions that the Royal Rumble winners are not challenging at WrestleMania.
As of now, it looks like the men's Royal Rumble winner Jey Uso will be challenging the World Heavyweight Champion Gunther at WrestleMania 41. Therefore, the winner of the men's elimination chamber match would get to challenge Cody Rhodes at the Grandest Stage of Them All. CM Punk has qualified for the match on RAW last Monday by defeating Sami Zayn in a qualifying match.

Cena was given a bye in the Chamber match since it was his last year in WWE and he was given this spot as a gesture of respect. But this is all a part of the storyline. The actual reason of Ceena getting a bye might be his busy schedule in Hollywood; the same reason he could not appear after Netflix RAW Premiere to promote Royal Rumble anymore.
CM Punk maybe entering the Elimination Chamber to see the opportunity to face the WWE champion at WrestleMania 41 but he is reported to have a triple threat match against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Since Jey Uso is almost certain to challenge the World Heavyweight Champion Gunther at WrestleMania, it is John Cena who is heavily rumored to win the Elimination Chamber match and challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
