WWE Elimination Chamber



Elimination Chamber is a professional wrestling pay-per-view event, produced every February by WWE, a professional wrestling promotion based in Connecticut. The event was created in 2010, replacing No Way Out. Despite the replacement, the event is still promoted as No Way Out in Germany.[1] Since its origin, each event has been held in an indoor arena, with all three taking place in the United States. Championship bouts are scheduled on every card, with the lower-tier titles featured on the undercard and the top-tier featured on the main card. Under the Brand Extension, WWE assigns its performers to either Raw or SmackDown which cause matches to be set up between wrestlers on the same show.

History
Elimination Chamber consists of at least two main events and an undercard which features championship matches and various other matches. The concept of the show is that the twomain event matches (usually one from Raw and one from SmackDown) are contested inside the Elimination Chamber structure.[3] The inaugural event took place on February 21, 2010 and aired live on PPV. The event's name was voted by fans via WWE's official website and was chosen over Heavy Metal, Battle Chamber, Chamber of Conflict and the original No Way Out name.[4]

In 2012, WWE scheduled both a Elimination Chamber and No Way Out events where the latter name took over the Money in the Bank event card in the July slot while Elimination Chamber retained its original slot.

Concept
In an Elimination Chamber, two superstars start in the ring. The other four are locked inside a pod-shaped chamber. Every five minutes, a new superstar is chosen randomly to enter the match. This will continue until every one has entered. Eliminations occur anywhere inside the Chamber.
