No Way Out 2009 sought to outdo the magnificence of last year's Elimination Chamber match, and by all accounts, they succeeded.

Since the brand split was in full swing, both Smackdown and Raw presented their own versions of the Elimination Chamber match. In a total shocker, reigning champion Edge lost within three minutes to Jeff Hardy during the SmackDown event, thus eliminating the champion first.

Later, Raw presented its own Chamber match, but the sneaky and devious Edge struck. He attacked Kofi Kingston from behind and beat him so badly the future New Day member could not compete. Edge then locked himself in a pod and demanded to be added to the match. Thanks to his involvement with Vicki Guerrero, who had an on-screen managerial role at the time, his tactics worked and he was added to the mix of challengers.

Jericho and Rey Misterio started things off, putting on a clinic for the first five minutes before big men Kane and Mike Knox join the fray. The two plucky undersized wrestlers teamed up to eliminate the monster heels. Then Edge joined the match and the bout turned into a brutal three-way dance.

But when John Cena joins the match, the defending champion proves why he is the Face that Runs the Place. Super Cena demolished all three men with ease, proving his dominance as the top guy in the company.

However, his three opponents realized that as powerful as Cena is, he's just one man. The trio of Misterio, Jericho, and Edge triple-teamed Cena with finishers until they put him away.

The final two wind up being Misterio and Edge, and while Rey put on a hell of a fight, Edge emerged victorious in his second Elimination Chamber match of the night.
