Alberto Del Rio's victory at the 2011 Royal Rumble granted him a match for the World Heavyweight Title at Wrestlemania XXVII, but he had to wait till Elimination Chamber to find out who his opponent would be as Edge was scheduled to defend his title against five of SmackDown's top superstars inside the Chamber. Kane, Big Show, Wade Barrett, Drew Mcintyre and Rey Mysterio entered the demonic structure, along with the defending champion, with the aim of winning the title and headlining Wrestlemania. Who knew that they would end up producing one of the best chamber matches of all time?

The contest started off as a fast-paced affair with Edge and Mysterio fighting all around the chamber. Barrett entered at number 3 and took control of the match with a pair of Winds of Change to his opponents. The match entered a slow phase as Kane entered and started knocking down the other three competitors with uppercuts and big boots. The pace picked up as Mcintyre entered and sent Mysterio face first into the pod. Mcintyre and Barrett double teamed to take out Kane, but Mcintyre soon turned on his partner. Big Show entered last, going after Barrett straightaway before throwing him through the glass pod and eliminating him after a knockout punch.

A sequence of finishing moves brought an end to Big Show's short stint in the match and Mcintyre soon followed him after he was chokeslammed by Kane. The three chamber veterans then fought for sometime, which ended with Edge spearing both Mysterio and Kane before ending Kane's stint. However, Kane, frustrated with the elimination, chokeslammed both the remaining participants.

In one of the most memorable final two showoffs, the two participants who started off the match were embroiled in an interesting, long sequence which featured submission moves, finishing moves and close calls that had the fans on the edge of their seats for almost 10 minutes. After being hit by the 619 twice, Edge caught Mysterio in mid-air with a spear to win the match after 31:30 minutes. Edge might have walked out of the chamber with the Gold, but it was Mysterio who was the MVP of the match that is now regarded as an instant classic.
