The Elimination Chamber premium live event will be held on the 19th of February. After a successful Crown Jewel show in Saudi Arabia, WWE will revisit the country with the Chamber.
It is the first time the event will take place outside North America. There is only one episode of SmackDown between now and then. The announced match card seems pretty intriguing, with a mix of title and non-title bouts.
The WWE Championship is one of the two top titles and will be the center of attention at the premium live event, as it will be on the line in the Chamber.
Current WWE Champion Bobby Lashley will enter the devilish structure to defend his gold against Austin Theory, Riddle, AJ Styles, Seth 'Freakin' Rollins and Brock Lesnar. It is just a matter of time before we get to know who walks out of the event as champion.
Meanwhile, let us peek back and rank the last five matches where the WWE Championship was at stake at the event.
Which of the following matches do you think are worth a rewatch? Also, who are you rooting for at this year's Chamber? Feel free to voice your thoughts in the comments.
#5 in our list of ranking WWE Championship matches at Elimination Chamber - The Miz cashes in on Drew McIntyre, 2021
The Miz was the third superstar to become a two-time Mr. Money in the Bank, after Edge and CM Punk. The A-Lister achieved this feat in late-2020 when he filed a lawsuit against then-MITB winner Otis for a match and won the contest and the briefcase.
He attempted to cash-in numerous times before finally doing so at Elimination Chamber in 2021. Drew McIntyre successfully retained his WWE Championship at the event.
However, as soon as the devilish structure was lifted, Bobby Lashley viciously attacked The Scottish Psychopath. The Miz then made his way to the ring to pin an unconscious McIntyre in an impromptu WWE Championship match.
The duration of the match was just thirty seconds and involved nothing particularly memorable. The Miz's reign wasn't very memorable either as he lost the title to Lashley in eight days.
#4. Drew McIntyre retained his WWE Championship inside the Elimination Chamber, 2021
When COVID-19 struck the globe, and top superstars like Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar took a break, it was Drew McIntyre who carried the company. He gained two reigns with the WWE Championship during that time.
The last time he successfully retained the title was in the Elimination Chamber match. Randy Orton, Kofi Kingston, Jeff Hardy, Sheamus and AJ Styles were all eliminated and The Scottish Psychopath stood tall in the ring.
However, as earlier mentioned, his victory didn't help him much as The Miz ruined the celebration. It is the last title reign McIntyre had with the title thus far.
#3. Dean Ambrose defeated Seth Rollins via DQ, 2015
Dean Ambrose a.k.a. Jon Moxley was one of the biggest babyfaces during his tenure with WWE. Meanwhile, his former Shield partner Seth Rollins was the heel he fought against during 2014-15.
All this led to a match at Elimination Chamber for Rollins' WWE World Heavyweight Championship. What came next was perhaps one of the best matches the two superstars ever took part in.
The contest was exhilarating right from the beginning. Though the end could've been better as Ambrose was robbed of his legal victory, Seth Rollins' reaction covered it up.
#2. Daniel Bryan defeated Kofi Kingston, Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles and Randy Orton - 2019
Mustafa Ali was set to take part in one of the biggest matches of his career at Elimination Chamber in 2019. Unfortunately, an injury forced him away from the action and he was replaced by Kofi Kingston.
KofiMania began on the RAW before the event where he performed exceptionally well in the gauntlet match and then in the Elimination Chamber itself.
After a long battle, then-WWE Champion Daniel Bryan stood tall in the contest. The match was truly remarkable and is definitely worth a rewatch.
#1. Bray Wyatt won the Elimination Chamber - 2017
Although John Cena was a polarizing figure, his victory against AJ Styles at Royal Rumble in 2017 left the crowd mesmerized. His record paralleling that of Ric Flair's was a moment welcomed by the fans.
The Leader of Cenation then defended his gold against Baron Corbin, Dean Ambrose, The Miz, AJ Styles and Bray Wyatt in the devilish structure.
The contest was tremendous as each superstar got a chance to shine. More than anything, the winner was unexpected and a treat for the fans.
The Eater of the Worlds eliminated John Cena and finally AJ Styles to win the WWE Championship. This was the first and only time Wyatt claimed the title in his career.
