5 best Elimination Chamber matches in WWE history

#3 Edge(c) vs Jeff Hardy vs Triple H vs Vladimir Kozlov vs The Big Show vs The Undertaker for the WWE Title (No Way Out 2009)

It all came down to these two legends.

No Elimination Chamber match in the history of WWE has been more star-studded that this classic from 2009 No Way Out. Edge's WWE Championship victory at Royal Rumble against Jeff Hardy, thanks to an interference by Matt Hardy, meant that he would be the WWE Champion heading into the Elimination Chamber. His opponents- Chamber veterans Triple H, Big Show, Jeff Hardy and The Undertaker. The addition of the dangerous Vladimir Kozlov only added to the star power.

Opening the No Way Out PPV in front of an enthusiastic crowd in Seattle, the match started with Edge and Jeff Hardy continuing their heated rivalry from Royal Rumble, but the showdown was short lived as Hardy reversed a spear attempt into a pinfall to eliminate the defending champion in the shock of the night. Entering the chamber for the first time, Vladimir Kozlov completely destroyed Hardy for the next 5 minutes, with Hardy getting only a little offense near the end of the time period. Big Show soon joined Kozlov as they both double teamed to decimate Jeff Hardy, but the alliance was short-lived as the two came to blows as soon as Kozlov knocked down Show with a running headbutt.

The pace picked up as Triple H entered at number 5 and started hitting everyone with clotheslines and spine-busters. Kozlov went head first into the glass pod but was saved by Show from a pedigree on the steel floor. Kozlov and Show, the two heels, obliterated Hardy and HHH for some time before they turned in their favor. Amidst lots of cheering from the fans, an enraged Undertaker entered and started dropping everyone down with his moves. He hit an Old School on HHH, a DDT onto the steel floor to Big Show before Kozlov interfered, but the Last Ride from Undertaker entered his stay in the chamber. Big Show went on a rampage spree, decimating Hardy and HHH, before a suplex from the top rope by The Undertaker, a pedigree from HHH and a Swanton Bomb led to his elimination. Hardy soon fell victim to a Tombstone Piledriver as it came down to HHH and The Undertaker.

Standing opposite each other, with a chance to headline WrestleMania up for grabs, HHH and Taker exchanged blows as Taker took control with a chokeslam for a near fall. HHH fought back with a spinebuster and tried a pedigree on the steel floor, but The Undertaker reversed it and catapulted HHH into the steel walls. A memorable sequence followed as Triple H reversed a tombstone to try one of his own, but Taker reversed it again to hit one for a really close call. With the crowd on their feet, HHH hit a pedigree, but Taker kicked out. After the two traded blows, Taker tried to hit the Last Ride, but HHH reversed it into a pedigree to pin 'The Phenom' and win the WWE Championship for the 13th time as the fans witnessed a captivating contest.
