WWE's Elimination Chamber

The Pay-Per View opens with a Road to Wrestlemania promo hyping tonight's Chamber matches. Following that is to open the show is the Raw Elimination Chamber for the WWE Championship. CM Punk and Kofi Kingston start the match, as Jericho, Miz, Ziggler, and R-Truth wait in the holding pods. In the opening minutes Punk and Kingston use several chain grapples, making it a great showing. Ziggler thou eventually is released from a pod and goes straight for Punk, until Punk and Kingston double team him. R-Truth was the next to enter as Punk and Kingston knocked each other out for a brief time. Just over the next 5 minutes, Punk manages to eliminate R-Truth via the Savage Elbow Drop and pinfall before he himself was almost eliminated.

Miz entered in at number 5, where he then begins to work on everyone in the match it is around this time Punk manages to counter Miz into the Anaconda Vice and tries to make him submit. The hold is broke when Jericho is released from his pod and Punk goes straight for him. As the two battled one another Ziggler tried sneak attacking Jericho who in return eliminated him via pinfall after hitting the Codebreaker. The remaining for then begin to battle amongst themselves as Kofi went for a crossbody from atop a pod, where Jericho moved in to lock on the Walls forcing him to sumbit. It was at this time Jericho began attacking the eliminated Kofi that Punk scored a KO'ing Roundhouse Kick that sent Jericho from the Chamber and the match itself. It was now down to Punk and Miz, where Miz did everything he could to win but was unsuccessful as Punk landed a powerful GTS and pinfall to retain the Championship.

Following the Raw Chamber the commentary team go into how Santino Marella replaced Randy Orton in the Smackdown Elimination Chamber match. It was then they cut to a promo of Santino parodying Rocky. Then to close out the intermission we get a Wrestlemania 28 promo...RDM there goes another shot!

The second match on the card was for the Divas Championship, Beth Phoenix defending her belt against Tamina Snuka. They brawled about throughout the entire match, with Beth mostly destroying Tamina. It was until Tamina turned the tide that Beth went to end the match with Glam Slam, as she retained her championship.

Next Josh Matthews tries to get an interview with the injured/recovering Chris Jericho but is unsuccessful. While in the ring Johny Ace is up to no good again assembling a roster of Teddy Long haters, like David Otunga, Alberto Del Rio, Mark Henry and Christian to protest Teddy Long as a General Manager. Before finally cutting to Big Show talking on how he hopes to win tonight's Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship and headline Wrestlemania! Cutting right to the match itself as the participants enter their pods.

The Great Khali, Cody Rhodes, Santino Marella and Daniel Bryan were locked in the pods, while Wade Barrett and Big Show started the match. They brawled about the entire Chamber, as Barrett worked on Show's knees until Rhodes entered the match. Show manages to fight them both off before the actually team up on him, then against each other. While Rhodes and Barrett fought one another Santino was the next to entire and he tried to hold his own for awhile before everyone turned their sights on different targets. As the Great Khali entered the Chamber he destroyed almost everyone in mere minutes before Show landed a powerful Spear followed by a pinfall to eliminate him.

As Khali exitted the Chamber and with everyone else down Big Show went to Bryan who was still locked in his pod. Big Show broke through the roof of the pod and entered, to attack Bryan. For almost a minute Bryan was locked in with Show before he was released. As they exitted the pod Barrett and Rhodes attacked Show allowing Rhodes to eliminate him from the match before Santion eliminated Rhodes. Barrett beatdown Santino before going for Bryan, they battled about until Santino and Bryan managed to work together to eliminate Barrett. As in came down to the two of them Bryan was over confindent in his looming victory as Santino took him to his limits. Just sadly enough Bryan pulled through and locked in the Lebell Lcok to make Santino submit. Bryan retained his champion but discovered he now had the Great White to contend with as Sheamus appeared ushering which Championship he'd choose to compete for at Wrestlemania by leaving Bryan laid out in the ring!

Backstage thou Jack Swagger and Justin Gabriel begin to argue about, as Swagger picked on Hornswoggle. Teddy Long came in and then made an United States Championship between the two, which was following an intermission for Mania promos. The US Championship was quick and short as Gabriel lit up the with his moves until Swagger locked in the Ankle Lock forcing Gabriel to tap out.

The main event was sadly the Ambulance match between Kane and John Cena. The matched open with Cena and Kane brawling about the entrance area, before it spilled into the ring. Kane managed to beatdown Cena for awhile, as he use a wheelchair to roll Cena up to the Ambulance to try and end the match. Cena fought back and the two entered the crowd as the fight continued. Cena and Kane manage to bring the fight back to ringside as Cena tried sending Kane through an announce table but got reversed into the Chokeslam. Kane then goes for the stretcher to cart Cena to the Ambulance, Cena fights out and the match goes into its final minutes. The two climb to the top of the truck where Cena manages to get Kane for the AA and sends him off the top of the truck before throwing into the Ambulance to win the match. As Cena heads to the ring in victory the commentary team, practically setup the hype for the looming match between John Cena and The Rock at Wrestlemania 28!
