The 2017 Elimination Chamber match was a masterful work of storytelling, elevating a star to the main event picture.

Part of the crux of the Elimination Chamber match was the rivalry between WWE World Champion John Cena and AJ Styles. The two men fought rabidly inside of the confines of the Elimination Chamber until Dean Ambrose joined the fray.

Then the match turned into a temporary three-way dance. Ambrose showed off his amazing ability to counter wrestle while AJ and Cena were overcome by the fresher challenger.

Corbin joined the fray, laying waste to the competition, but he was then eliminated by a sneaky pin from Ambrose. Corbin, though out of the match, beat down Ambrose so badly that all Miz had to do was lay across him for the pin.

Bray Wyatt joined the fray, and Miz took a fall. The master of vultures was then able to shrug off heavy offense from both AJ and Cena to hit twin Sister Abigails on both men and claim his first-ever world championship.

Wyatt is one of those superstars whose transformation is the stuff of legend. He was finally able to claim his position as the top competitor owing to his spectacular show at the elimination chamber match.
