5 most memorable Elimination Chamber moments

#3 Edge enters twice in one night

Edge walks out as champion!

Hall of Famer Edge would know this better than most as an eleven-time world champion. Edge walked into the No Way Out Pay Per View in 2009 as the WWE Champion for the Smackdown brand. However, he would not leave as the WWE champion, as Edge was the first person eliminated in the Elimination Chamber by opponent Jeff Hardy. Winning a championship in the WWE is always the easy part. Staying the champion is the hard part.

Edge’s shock was palpable, and some great camera work showed HHH, enclosed in his pod, laughing in the frame behind Edge, who was in the forefront of the shot. Edge’s exit guaranteed a new WWE Champion for the night. It would not be the end of Edge’s involvement in No Way Out though.

WWE’s brand split meant each show had a Chamber match. The RAW match for the World Heavyweight title would be the Main Event of No Way Out that year. As the match was starting, scheduled Participant Kofi Kingston made his entrance to the ring.

As Kingston neared the steps at the Elimination Chamber door, Edge would run down and blindside Kofi. Edge followed this attack up by throwing Kingston into the steel steps and finished it by using his signature Con-Chair-To move.

This attack would mean Kofi was unfit to compete in the match. Edge, ever the opportunist, would run in and steal the pod Kofi should have occupied. The match went on as otherwise planned, and wouldn’t you know it, Edge became the World Heavyweight Champion.

It remains one of the dirtiest displays of greed, but greatest displays of opportunism ever seen in WWE history.
