5 Times WWE Superstars were removed from matches at the last minute 

#3. Former WWE Superstar Rusev - Elimination Chamber 2015

The 2015 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view is one that WWE would probably prefer to forget. On paper, the show looked as though it could be an interesting one, but didn't actually follow through on this potential.

The Elimination Chamber match lacked any storyline between the Superstars who were involved. But one story that stood out was Rusev's feud with Dolph Ziggler. Before the match actually aired, Rusev broke his foot and was then taken out of the equation and replaced by Mark Henry, which didn't make a lot of sense.

This was the Elimination Chamber match for the Intercontinental Championship and ahead of the match, Rusev was seen as the favorite. Interestingly, it was former WWE Superstar Ryback who went on to be victorious and was then handed the title by former Champion Daniel Bryan, who had been forced to vacate the title through injury.

Rusev was still wrestling barefoot ahead of this show. But following his broken foot, it appears that someone in WWE backstage told him to change it up and start wearing boots.
