Elimination Chamber (2015) (also known as No Escape (2015) in Germany) is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by WWE. It will take place on May 31, 2015, at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.[1] It will be the sixth annual Elimination Chamber event, and the first to take place in May. In addition to being shown on the WWE Network, the event will be aired in many countries via traditional pay-per-view outlets.[2] In some countries, like the United States, it will be shown live exclusively on the WWE Network.[3]

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]

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. Later in the event, it was announced that The New Day would defend the titles in the first-ever Tag team Elimination Chamber match at the event.[6] On the May 18 episode of Raw, it was announced that Kidd and Cesaro, Los Matadores, The Ascension, The Lucha Dragons, and The Prime Time Players were added to the match.[7]

At Payback, Naomi and Tamina defeated Nikki Bella and Brie Bella.[6] On the May 18 episode of Raw, in a Divas Championship match, after Nikki defeated Naomi by disqualification, Paige returned from injury and attacked both Nikki and Naomi.[7] On the May 21 episode of SmackDown, Naomi and Tamina attacked Paige before Nikki attacked Naomi, Tamina and Paige.
