Elimination Chamber is a professional wrestling match held by WWE. It takes place in a large steel cage that surrounds the entire ring. The chamber contains four clear, plexiglass pods.
The match was created by Triple H, and introduced by Eric Bischoff at Survivor Series in November 2002.[1] It usually features six competitors with two starting the match. One or two matches have taken place each year (except in 2004 and 2016). A pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event series, also called Elimination Chamber (or No Escape in Germany), replaced No Way Out in 2010. A women's variation was introduced at the 2018 event.[2]
