Elimination Chamber (2015) (also known as No Escape (2015) in Germany) is an ongoing professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by WWE.

Background
Elimination Chamber will feature professional wrestling matches that involve wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that play out on WWE's primary television programs, Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. Wrestlers will portray heroes or villains as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4][5]
On May 17, it was announced that an Elimination Chamber match for the vacant Intercontinental Championship would be held at the event.[6] On the May 18 episode of Raw, R-Truth, Sheamus, King Barrett, Ryback, Dolph Ziggler, and Rusev were added to the match.[7] On May 31, it was announced on WWE.com that Rusev would be unable to compete at the event due to an injury.[8][9] During the pay-per-view, it was announced that Mark Henry will replace Rusev's spot in the match.
At Payback, The New Day defeated Tyson Kidd and Cesaro to retain the Tag Team Championship in a 2-out-of-3 falls Tag team match.
