Elimination Chamber is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which will take place on February 21, 2010 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri.[2][3] Currently two matches have been announced for the event.
The concept of the show will be that each main event match will be contested as Elimination Chamber matches. The name of the event was voted by fans via WWE's official website. Elimination Chamber was chosen over Heavy Metal, Battle Chamber, Chamber of Conflict and No Way Out.[4] Despite the poll, Elimination Chamber will be a brand new event and will not be considered a part of the No Way Out chronology.[5]
Background
Elimination Chamber will feature professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that will be played out on Raw, SmackDown, ECW and WWE Superstars—World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) television programs. Wrestlers will portray a villain or a hero as they follow a series of events that build tension, and culminate into a wrestling match or series of matches.[6] Currently, wrestlers confirmed for the event will be from WWE's Raw and SmackDown brands—a storyline division in which WWE employees are assigned to a television program of the same name.[7]
The main event matches for the Elimination Chamber event will consist of two Elimination Chamber matches, with Raw's WWE Championship defended in one and SmackDown's World Heavyweight Championship defended in the other.[5] Qualifying matches were held on the February 1 edition of Raw to determine the five challengers who will face the WWE Champion Sheamus in Raw's Elimination Chamber match. In qualifiers, John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes, Triple H defeated Jack Swagger, Randy Orton defeated Shawn Michaels, Ted DiBiase defeated Mark Henry, and Kofi Kingston defeated The Big Show by disqualification.[8]
