So, for those keeping an eye out for this week’s Elimination Chamber, here’s a rundown of all you can expect.
What is an Elimination Chamber match?
Described as one of the most cutthroat matches that WWE has to offer, the Elimination Chamber match usually features six Superstars, who are put under lock and key inside a steel structure. Two competitors initiate the match while the remaining four stay locked in pods. At regular intervals, a pod opens, and another Superstar enters the round. Elimination depends on pinfall or submission until just one remains in the ring.
Whoever wins the match gets a shot at WrestleMania.
