5 best Elimination Chamber matches in WWE history

#4 Batista vs Chris Benoit vs Edge vs Triple H vs Chris Jericho vs Randy Orton for the vacant World Heavyweight Title (New Years Revolution 2005)

This showdown was a true slobber-knocker.

Randy Orton's expulsion from Evolution after his World Title Win and his subsequent heated feud with his former leader Triple H was the main storyline on Raw during the second half of 2004. After defeating Team Triple H at Survivor Series, Orton booked HHH to defend his Title against Edge and Chris Benoit which ended in a controversial fashion and the title was declared vacant. In order to determine a new World Heavyweight Champion, GM Eric Bischoff booked six of Raw's top superstars - HHH, Orton, Benoit, Edge, Batista and Chris Jericho - in an Elimination Chamber Match at New Year's Revolution. As an added twist, Shawn Michaels was inserted as the special guest referee in the match.

In front of a vocal crowd in San Juan, Benoit and Jericho provided a fun start to the contest, with both hitting each other with chops and suplexes to rile up the crowd. Triple H entered next and assumed control of the match. A face-first smash by HHH onto the chains busted Benoit open. Hunter's pedigree attempt was reversed into a backdrop onto the steel floor by Jericho. Entering #4, Edge took advantage of the situation momentarily before catapulting both Jericho and HHH into the chain walls, busting the former open in the process.

Coming in at number 5, Randy Orton went straight for Triple H before hitting a pair of RKOs on Jericho and Benoit, who had HHH in the sharpshooter. A spear meant for Orton struck the referee Michaels, who responded by hitting Edge with a Sweet Chin Music. A lionsault from Jericho eliminated Edge from the match. In a memorable sequence, Jericho had HHH in the Walls of Jericho when Benoit applied the Crippler Crossface on HHH as well, but it was broken by Batista. Benoit was eliminated soon after Batista, who was on a rampage, hit Jericho with a spine buster onto him. Jericho soon followed him after a Batista Bomb ended his stay.

With two members of Evolution left along with Orton, Batista and HHH decimated Orton for some time before he too got busted open. Orton reversed a Batista Bomb to hit a low blow and an RKO to eliminate Batista. With both remaining participants draped in their own blood, Batista interfered and hit Orton with a clothesline after Michaels was distracted by Ric Flair. This was enough for HHH to recover and hit a pedigree to become the last man standing in the chamber and reclaim the World Heavyweight title in a sensational fashion.
