We get a video opening highlighting the two Chamber matches that will
be taking place tonight for both the World Heavyweight, and WWE
Championships. The pyro hits and Michael Cole welcomes us to the PPV.
They immediately being hyping WrestleMania, and the ominous structure
that is the Elimination Chamber. The Chamber lowers and it looks like
we're going to start out with a Chamber match.
Sheamus vs. Triple H vs. John Cena vs. Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase vs.
Kofi Kingston
WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match
Justin Roberts runs down the rules of the match, John Cena's music
hits, and he is the first man to make his way down to the ring. Cena
makes his way into one of the ringside pods, and the referee locks him
up. Dibiase is the next man announced, and he makes his way to the
ring to a bit of heat. Randy Orton is the third man to make his way to
the ring, to a big pop from the crowd. Dibiase stares down Orton from
his pod. Triple H is the fourth man announced, and the final man who
will be entering a pod, so we know it will be Sheamus and Kofi
starting things off tonight. Just a quick personal comment here, Matt
Striker is an amazing commentator. We're not 15 minutes into the PPV
and he's already putting Cole and Lawler to shame. Kofi Kingston is
the final challenger to enter the fray. He comes out to a nice
reception, leaving only the Champion yet to enter. The WWE Champion
Sheamus is out finally, only about 13 minutes into the PPV. Sheamus
gets a little bit of heat, but honestly, it seems like even less than
Dibiase. Sheamus shows off his belt to everyone locked in the pods,
taunting his challengers. The door is closed and locked, and this one
is ready to begin.
Sheamus goes for the big kick right off the bat, but Kofi moves and
comes back with a flurry of offense of his own. Kofi hits a crossbody
for a near fall, and a beautiful dropkick for another near fall. Kofi
works over Sheamus with a series of fairly stiff kicks, but it's still
not enough to keep the Champion down. Sheamus comes back with a
clubbing blow across Kofi's back and a knee to the head. Sheamus hits
a European uppercut, but Kofi is quick to fight back. Kofi kicks
Sheamus square in the chest, but he immediately falls victim to a back
elbow and a big shoulder block. Sheamus tries to hip toss Kofi over
the ropes, but Kofi lands on his feet, delivers and enzugiri, and
executes a springboard crossbody that's good for a two count. Sheamus
reverses a whip into the corner, but he walks right into a big kick
from Kofi. Sheamus takes Kofi down to the mat and pounds away on him,
he tries for a quick pin, but he can't hold Kingston down for three.
Sheamus tries to choke Kingston and rub his face into the mat. Kofi
rolls to the outside and Sheamus follows. Kofi is able to put up a bit
of a fight, but Sheamus backs him up into one of the pods and put him
down. Sheamus hits a uranage backbreaker, but it's still not good
enough for three.
The timer counts down, and the first entrant into the match is Triple
H. Hunter has a big smile on his face. He walks out of the pod and
stares Sheamus down. Sheamus and Triple H come toe to toe staring each
other down. Sheamus goes for a punch, but Hunter blocks and unloads
with a couple of his own. Sheamus goes low with a knee, but it's not
good enough to keep down Hunter, who comes back with a high knee, and
a knee drop. Hunter hits a clothesline in the corner, and pounds on
Sheamus for a bit, before stomping for a little bit. Hunter hits a
short arm clothesline, but it's only good for a near fall. Hunter
throws Sheamus over the top rope out to the steel grate. Hunter tries
to throw Sheamus into the Chamber, but Sheamus blocks, Sheamus tries
but Hunter blocks and he clotheslines Sheamus over the top rope.
Back in the ring, Sheamus goes for a razor's edge out of nowhere, but
Hunter reverses into a DDT. Kofi is back in and he's going to work on
both men, chopping each before hitting a dropkick on Sheamus, and
whipping Hunter into Sheamus in the corner. Kofi launches himself up
to hit nine punches on Sheamus in the corner before connecting with a
leaping lariat. Kofi hits a slingshot boom drop over the top rope to
the outside on Hunter. Sheamus takes Kofi out, out of nowhere, and
it's good for a near fall. The clock ticks down again, and the next
entrant is Randy Orton. Orton goes right to work on everyone, then
focuses his attention on Sheamus, stomping away. Orton hits a knee
drop on Sheamus, and he tries for a cover but he only gets a two
count. Orton tosses Sheamus over the top rope and he hits a quick kick
to Hunter's ribs. Orton goes to the outside, where he slams Sheamus
against the Chamber wall three times in a row. Hunter comes out and he
too goes into the Chamber three times at the hands of Orton. Orton
chokes Sheamus with his boot for a bit, before going to work on Hunter
with a couple of right hands. Kingston comes out of nowhere with a
huge slingshot crossbody. Kingston tries for another springboard
crossbody back in the ring on Orton, but Orton counters with a
dropkick.
Hunter is now back in this with right hands, and a face buster to
Orton, but Orton comes back with a big powerslam. Orton looks to be
setting up for the RKO on Hunter. Orton goes for it, but Hunter pushes
him into Kofi. Kofi tries for TIP, but Orton ducks. Orton tries for
the RKO on Kofi, but Kofi pushes him into an almost pedigree. Orton
backdrops Hunter over the top rope to counter, the backdrops Kofi over
the top rope. On the outside, Orton goes after Sheamus, but he ends up
being backed up into the ring post. The clock counts down again and
the next entrant is Ted Dibiase. Dibiase goes right to work on
Sheamus, Kingston, then Triple H, hitting Hunter with a couple of fist
drops. Dibiase goes over to Orton in the corner and he offers his hand
after a bit of a staredown. It looks like Legacy may be working
together. Orton and Dibiase go right to work on Hunter, stomping away
on him in the corner. They the turn their attention to Sheamus,
pounding away, and hitting a series of knees, before Orton throws him
shoulder first into the ring post. Dibiase chokes Kingston against the
bottom rope. Orton picks up Kofi and he tries to shove Kingston's head
through the Chamber wall, eventually succeeding and wrenching at his
neck, before Dibiase locks in a Boston crab while Orton kicks away.
Orton and Hunter trade blows in the middle of the ring, but Dibiase
comes in from behind to turn the tide. Orton holds Hunter while
Dibiase stomps away at his midsection. Orton tosses Hunter to the
outside and he and Dibiase follow. Orgon and Dibiase throw Hunter,
back first, into the Chamber wall, before doing it again. Orton goes
for his rope assisted DDT, but Dibiase stops him and tells him he
should do it on the outside. He sets it up, and he connects, driving
Hunter's head into the steel grate. Legacy stare Cena down outside of
his pod, and decide to wait out the last 10 seconds outside of his
door. Cena fights his way out with no problem, taking down Dibiase and
tossing Orton in the ring before coming alive with a series of flying
shoulder blocks and a belly to back suplex. Cena connects with the
five knuckle shuffle on Orton, and a throwback and top rope rocker
dropper to Dibiase. Cena goes for the AA on Dibiase, using him as a
battering ram on Orton. Dibiase grabs the ropes, so Cena AA's him over
the ropes. Orton lightly tosses Cena to the outside, and he follows.

Orton and Dibiase share a staredown while Orton makes his way to the

it. Hunter hits the pedigree, covers Sheamus, and gets the three
count.

It's down to Cena and Hunter and both men are down on the mat. Cena is
the first to get up, and he goes right to work with the STF. Hunter
furiously tries to reach the ropes, having a lot of trouble. Hunter
looks to be fading. Hunter is forced to tap out, and we have a new
Champion.

He congratulates Cena and says he's going to WrestleMania, just as
long as he can defend the championship right now against...
Batista.

able to make it to his feet without a ton of effort.

able to make it to his feet without a ton of effort. Cena is able to
make it to his feet, and stun Batista with a right hand right at the
bell, but it doesn't look to really affect Batista, who comes back
with a big spear, and a Batista bomb. Batista goes for the pin, and
gets the three count.
Winner and NEW WWE Champion: Batista
Cena looks dejected, and like his back hurts as he makes his way to
the back. He stops on the way to look sadly at the WrestleMania
banner.
Cole and Lawler speculate for a bit, saying that it's possible that
McMahon set that up because of how Cena supported Bret Hart over the
past few weeks. This leads into a video re-cap of the last Bret Hart
appearance on Raw with his horrible 'accident'. Cole says that
information is hard to come by, but apparently Bret Hart suffered a
broken leg, and some ligament damage.
Drew McIntyre vs. Kane
Intercontinental Championship Match
Tony Chimel is in the ring, and Drew McIntyre is introduced first, to
a very apathetic reaction. Kane's pyro and music hits, and he gets a
much lively reaction from the crowd. Kane charges McIntyre right at
the bell, but Drew ducks and throws a couple of punches and kicks of
his own. Kane hits a chop to the throat, and he takes McIntyre to the
corner, working him over with a couple of strikes before hitting a low

avoids it and goes to work on Kane with lefts and rights. McIntyre's
offense is short lived though, as Kane puts him right back down.

Gail Kim runs into Maryse backstage, who of course talks in French.
She translates for herself, saying great things about Kim. Kim says
something in French, revealing that she knows Maryse is trashing her
in French. She says tonight she's going to beat Maryse, before walking
off.
Maryse vs. Gail Kim
Finals of the Divas Championship Tournament
Maryse is announced first, and she makes her way out to the ring to a
little bit of a reaction from the crowd, they seem just a bit dead
though. Gail Kim is announced next, and she also doesn't really get
much of a reaction at all. Excuse me, Vickie Guerrero is out to
interrupt. She says it has come to her attention that the Raw Divas
have had some disparaging comments about the Smackdown Divas, and
being a Diva herself, she can say the best Divas are on Smackdown.
Further, since she's the only Diva that has authority in the building,
she's postponing the match, and turning this into a tag-team match.
Maryse and Gail Kim will have to team up against Michelle McCool and
Layla.
Kim and Layla start things off with Kim hitting a couple of quick arm
drags and locking in an arm bar. Kim hits a couple of forearms, but
Layla blocks a hip toss and turns it into a pinning predicament. Layla
charges Kim in the corner, but Kim is able to avoid it and score a
near fall of her own. Maryse goes after Layla, and the referee is
distracted, allowing McCool to knock Kim off the apron with a big
boot. Layla makes the tag, and her and McCool connect with a double
baseball slide. Back in the ring, McCool goes for the pin, and when
she can't get it, she slams Kim's head against the mat and locks in a
rear chin lock. McCool hits a series of knees to Kim's back, but when
she tries for a back body drop, Kim kicks her in the chest and hits a
bulldog. Kim starts crawling to her corner, but she pie-faces Kim into
McCool who hits a clothesline. McCool hits the Faithbreaker, and rolls
it over into the pin.
Winners: Layla and Michelle McCool
After the match, McCool and Layla stare down Maryse, who backs off.
Maryse then makes her way back into the ring, and hits the hair flip
DDT on Kim.
Josh Matthews is backstage, hyping WWE NXT. He brings along one of the
pros, The Miz. He asks how he feels about mentoring Daniel Bryan. Miz
says if there's anyone that can teach Bryan to be a success, it's him.
He basically says the same things he said in his WWE blog, saying that
if he listens to him, Bryan will have the look, personality, and
charisma to make it in the WWE. MVP is there, he says personality is
important, it's done wonders for both of them, but what's more
important is winning. He says that he and Mark Henry won their tag
match, so he won the opportunity to challenge Miz for the US
Championship tonight. He says after tonight, he'll be able to tell his
NXT rookie about how he lost the US Title, with personality.
William Regal is announced and he makes his way to the ring, he's also
there to talk about WWE NXT. Along with all of the NXT commercials,
this is beginning to feel like one long, expensive commercials. Regal
talks about how he's been chosen as a mentor, and how he has the most
experience of anyone. He calls out the crowd for being jerks and
giving him the 'what' treatment. Regal says he demands respect, and
he's the model of professionalism. He says everyone, even the fans
could learn something from him. He's interrupted however, by Edge's
music.
Edge makes his way to the ring to a big pop from the crowd, who look
happy to see him. Regal asks what on Earth Edge wants. Edge says he
was listening to Regal droning on and on, and it's like watching paint
dry. He said he thought he'd come out and tell the WWE Universe
something they might want to hear. Edge says it was three weeks ago
that he won the Royal Rumble, and a chance to be in the main event at
WrestleMania, and he gets to choose who he wants to face. Edge says
he'll make that decision tomorrow night on Raw. Edge says tonight he's
here to do something else though. Edge spears Regal, gets a huge pop,
and his music hits.

of the evening. Rey Mysterio's music hit, and with the pyro, he's out
to a big pop from the crowd. John Morrison is the second man to make
his way to the ring, to a decent reaction from the crowd. It seems
like everyone has taken a lot of extra time stalling tonight, which
has really seemed to be a theme of the whole PPV. Chris Jericho is the
next entrant to the Elimination Chamber, and he comes out to a bit of
a mixed reaction. The World Champion, The Undertaker, is the fourth

the ring, he comes out with Luke Gallows and Sarita by his side, and
of course a mic. Punk says he hopes the symbolism isn't lost on the
superstars in the Chamber, because it's killing him. Four people
locked inside a prison, like the prison of addiction that everyone in
the arena is locked in every day. Punk says, be sure to remember that
he's not locked in with them, they're locked in there with him. Punk
says tomorrow morning, he wants everyone to remember when their pod
door opened, and Punk defeated them, don't think of it as failure,
think of it as Punk saving them and setting them free. Punk tries to
get out more about alcohol and medication, but he's interrupted by
