Every baseball fan knows that the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals have one of the most storied rivalries in the MLB. Both teams have been around since the 19th century and currently compete as part of the National League’s Central Division. Somewhat ironically, the Cubs and Cardinals have only ever had one MLB playoff matchup despite their intense and ongoing rivalry, a showdown that occurred at the 2015 National League Division Series — a four-game contest that the Cubs handily won 3-1.

Last season, the Cardinals played against the Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago. This four-game series was one of the most exciting of the year, with the Cardinals sweeping the Cubs 4-0 — the first time they had done so since 1921 — in what is now known as the “Wrigley Field Massacre.” With this, the Cardinals took the division title and knocked the Cubs out of the running for the playoffs. There’s little doubt that the Cubs will be entering this three-game series with the bitter taste of that defeat still in their mouths, and will be eager to settle the score — this time on the Cardinal’s home turf at Busch Stadium.

How to watch WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth 2024 live stream
The logo for WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth 2024.

Before heading to Philadelphia for WrestleMania 40, the WWE is heading to the Land Down Under for Elimination Chamber: Perth. Raw and SmackDown superstars will be in Perth for the 14th Elimination Chamber event. It's also the third consecutive Elimination Chamber outside of the U.S. -- the previous two were held in Saudi Arabia and Canada.

The main events will be the men's and women's Elimination Chamber matches. Think of an Elimination Chamber like a steel cage match combined with Hell in a Cell. Six superstars are locked inside the chain-linked steel structure. Two superstars start inside the ring, while four participants are locked in pods against the chamber's fence. One competitor is released from their pod every few minutes until all six are in the ring. There is no disqualification or count-outs. The only way to eliminate a competitor is by pinfall or elimination. The last person standing wins and receives a championship opportunity at WrestleMania.
