WWE Elimination Chamber Results

John Cena won the Raw Elimination Chamber Match
In a grueling Elimination Chamber Match, WWE’s 2010 Superstar of the Year was forced to overcome five other Superstars – Randy Orton, John Morrison, R-Truth, King Sheamus and CM Punk – to capture his third victory inside the structure and secure his place in the main event at WrestleMania XXVII.

John Morrison and King Sheamus kicked off the contest while the remaining four combatants waited within their corner pods, each of which would open randomly every five minutes.

One by one, the Superstars were unleashed within Satan’s Structure, but not without incident. When CM Punk’s time arrived, his pod refused to open properly. As a result, The Second City Savior endured a beatdown from Randy Orton, who quickly pinned him. Before he could leave the callous coliseum, however, Raw’s anonymous GM reinstated him in the interest of fairness.

The first combatant to officially crumble was R-Truth, who succumbed to the punishment of the Irishman. A surprising second elimination came when The Viper fell to a returning and rejuvenated Punk. After inflicting a plethora of pain, The Celtic Warrior finally gave up the ghost in third. With only three Superstars remaining, The Shaman of Sexy offered a valiant effort. However, a knee injury had hobbled him, allowing Punk to pin him after a GTS.

Finally, despite having logged a 3-0 record against Cena in their last three matches, The Second City Savior failed in his final conquest. Instead, the Cenation Commander-in-Chief rose above thanks in no small part to sheer determination and a reservoir of what he called “faith.”

World Heavyweight Champion Edge won the SmackDown Elimination Chamber Match
At WWE Elimination Chamber, World Heavyweight Champion Edge outlasted Big Show, Rey Mysterio, Kane, Wade Barrett and Drew McIntyre to emerge victorious from the mind-altering abyss that is the Elimination Chamber Match for the second time in his career. It was the first time in more than five years that the sitting champion had retained his title in such a match. Afterward, when Alberto Del Rio laid siege on the 11-time World Champion, it was Christian who carried out a surprise rescue.

Edge and Rey Mysterio began their barbaric match of mayhem, knowing that their four additional foes were waiting to be released into the insanity one-at-a-time from their respective pods, every five minutes in random order. The only way for any of the SmackDown elite to win the World Title was for all of his opponents to be eliminated by pinfall or submission.

As The Rated-R Superstar battled The Ultimate Underdog amidst the twisted steel, Wade Barrett entered No. 3. All three Superstars survived long enough to see the monstrous Kane entered No. 4. As the treacherous carnage continued, Drew McIntyre emerged No. 5. Big Show was the last to enter, sending Superstars flying in every direction.

Teddy Long made the earth-shattering announcement that Big Show would replace Dolph Ziggler just moments before Sunday’s match began.The World’s Largest Athlete eliminated Barrett first, blasting him with the knockout punch. Big Show then went down second after Mysterio hit him with the 619, Edge hit the Spear and Kane finished him off with the chokeslam. McIntyre was defeated moments later with a second chokeslam by The Devil’s Favorite Demon. Then, as Mysterio was upside-down – hanging from Kane with amazing athleticism – Edge Speared both of them, leading to The Ultimate Opportunist pinning The Big Red Monster.

After an extremely intense final showdown between the same two Superstars that started the match, Edge finally reigned supreme, hitting the Spear on Mysterio in mid-air.

Moments after Edge defended his title in epic fashion, his WrestleMania opponent, Alberto Del Rio, attacked the war-torn champion. But, his onslaught fell short when an irate Christian – making his return from an injury he suffered at the hands of Del Rio last September – charged to the ring to save his former tag team partner, bringing the ecstatic WWE Universe to its feet.

WWE Champion The Miz def. Jerry Lawler
Despite an incredible offense honed by decades of in-ring competition, WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler was unable to unseat reigning WWE Champion The Miz at WWE Elimination Chamber, much to the chagrin of a raucous crowd at Oakland’s Oracle Arena.

Emotionally reeling just one week following the passing of his mother, Lawler was intent on silencing The Awesome One in this anticipated WWE Title collision. But ultimately, The King’s dreams of decimating The Miz and taking the WWE Championship to WrestleMania XXVII were shattered with a Skull-Crushing Finale. Backing up his boasts, The Miz will indeed defend his title on The Grandest Stage of Them All when he strides into Atlanta’s Georgia Dome on April 3.

However, The Miz’s latest title defense against Lawler was hardly the cakewalk he expected it to be, with the veteran putting the cocky young champion through his paces in a hard-fought bout. The battle became all the more difficult for the WWE Champion after his intervening apprentice, Alex Riley, was ejected from the arena by the referee. With Riley out of the picture, The Miz was forced to hold his own against Lawler, who at one point sent The Awesome One careening into his Miz-supporting Raw broadcast partner Michael Cole at ringside.

Lawler seemed primed for a victory as he signaled for a piledriver on The Miz, but the WWE Champion managed to narrowly escape the maneuver. Seizing control of the match, The Awesome One administered a devastating Skull-Crushing Finale on The King before scoring a pinfall.

Alberto Del Rio def. Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston
From the opening bell, the underhanded competitor shamelessly avoided Kingston’s blistering offense, slipping out of the ring and running behind his personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez at every turn. Only when the official was distracted would Del Rio strike with his typical illegal maneuvers, including grabbing handfuls of hair and slamming Kofi into the ring post. But in the end, the confident competitor stopped the Intercontinental Champion with his dangerous cross armbreaker and showed the WWE Universe that he belongs in the main event at WrestleMania.

Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel def. Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov (New WWE Tag Team Champions)
Representing The Corre, Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater won the WWE Tag Team Championship for the second time at WWE Elimination Chamber by defeating Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov with an assist from fellow Corre member Ezekiel Jackson.

Inside Oracle Arena, both teams displayed excellent chemistry and proved why either could reign supreme at the top of WWE’s tag team division. The match displayed the competitiveness of each Superstar as individuals and as a team. However, the unity and collective attitude of The Corre is what ultimately led to Santino and Kozlov’s demise. Slater tagged himself into the match unbeknownst to Kozlov, while Jackson pulled Gabriel from the ring. Arguing with the official, Kozlov was hit from behind by Slater who set up The Moscow Mauler for a 450 splash from Gabriel, allowing The Corre to capture the coveted WWE Tag Team Championships.

Booker T revealed that seven-time Women’s Champion Trish Stratus will be a fellow trainer for WWE Tough Enough.

Vickie Guerrero came before the WWE Universe at WWE Elimination Chamber, hoping to help her boyfriend, Dolph Ziggler, get his job back. But Guerrero’s apology and explanation about why Ziggler attacked SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long fell on deaf ears, and even prompted the re-hire of Kelly Kelly!

After SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long rehired Kelly Kelly, Trish Stratus helped Kelly Kelly even the odds against an attack from Lay-Cool.
