WWE No Escape
 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into WWE Elimination Chamber. (Discuss) Proposed since January 2021. |
WWE No Escape is an alternate title used in Germany for various professional wrestling pay-per-views marketed by World Wrestling Entertainment, primarily to avoid a potential brand blunder over concerns of reminding people of the gas chambers used in The Holocaust. The primary culprit is WWE Elimination Chamber,[1][2] forcing the WWE to rename the event in Germany.
The following is a list of Elimination Chamber pay-per-views renamed in Germany, with their German title:
No Way Out
No Escape
Since another event scheduled for June 2012 was scheduled as No Way Out elsewhere around the world, and the name had been used in Germany for Elimination Chamber, the name No Escape was used for the pay-per-view in Germany. Starting in 2013, the Elimination Chamber is known as No Escape in Germany.
