Whenever the WWE Royal Rumble comes around, the majority of fans know that Kane has the most cumulative eliminations in history and that nobody has won the match on more occasions than Steve Austin.
However, when it comes to the Elimination Chamber, the statistics surrounding the match aren’t as well-known.
With that in mind, we decided to do a bit of research to find out which WWE Superstars have racked up the most eliminations in the match’s 16-year history.
Joint #4: John Cena (5 eliminations)
Well, it’s practically impossible to create any kind of list concerning WWE records and not come across John Cena’s name, isn’t it?
“The Face That Runs The Place” has competed in six Elimination Chamber matches throughout his illustrious career, with his first taking place when he successfully defended his WWE title at New Year’s Revolution 2006.
He eliminated Carlito in the finale to that match – the first of three Chamber matches that he would go on to win – while he also racked up eliminations against Triple H, CM Punk, Cesaro and The Miz later on in his career.
Joint #4: Randy Orton (5 eliminations)
Like his long-term nemesis John Cena, Randy Orton has appeared in six Elimination Chamber matches during his career, with his one and only victory coming in 2014.
“The Viper” was only able to eliminate one person (Batista) in his first four matches inside the structure, with his next two eliminations (Mark Henry and Chris Jericho) taking place in the 2013 match when Jack Swagger caused an upset by rolling up Orton at the end to win.
In his final Chamber match in 2014, Orton successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship, largely thanks to interference from the Wyatt Family and The Authority, while he eliminated Cena and Daniel Bryan on his way to victory.
Joint #4: CM Punk (5 eliminations)
Considering he only entered four Elimination Chamber matches, CM Punk’s tally of five eliminations isn’t bad going.
“The Best In The World” first featured in the match at the infamous December to Dismember event in 2006. Behind the scenes, Paul Heyman was lobbying for Punk to eliminate everybody with the Anaconda Vice and go on to win.
However, Vince McMahon didn’t like the idea and Punk ended up being the first one to be eliminated instead.
The MMA fighter's Chamber experiences got better over the years, eliminating R-Truth x2, Randy Orton, John Morrison and The Miz, while he won the match in 2012.
#3 The Undertaker (6 eliminations)
Aside from Goldberg, who eliminated three people in his only Elimination Chamber match, nobody has a better elimination-per-match ratio than The Undertaker.
“The Deadman” featured in just three matches inside the structure but was able to pick up a grand total of six eliminations (The Great Khali, Finlay, Batista, Vladimir Kozlov, Jeff Hardy and John Morrison).
His best year came in 2008 when, entering at #1, he lasted the full 29 minutes and outlasted all five men to win the match for the only time in his career.
#2 Triple H (7 eliminations)
While it’s often said that Eric Bischoff created the Elimination Chamber, that’s not strictly true. Bischoff’s on-screen character introduced the match in 2002 but, behind the scenes, it was Triple H who came up with the idea.
Taking that into account, it’s no surprise that “The Game” was involved in the first three Chamber matches and that he entered the match six times throughout his career, winning on four occasions.
Along the way, he eliminated Goldberg, Randy Orton, The Big Show, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Jeff Hardy and Sheamus.
#1 Chris Jericho (10 eliminations)
Surprised to see Chris Jericho top this list? Yep, so are we. Not only has Y2J recorded more eliminations than anyone, but it will be many, many years before his tally of 10 eliminations is ever surpassed.
Y2J has appeared in eight Elimination Chamber matches, more than anybody else, and has eliminated Booker T, Kane, Kevin Nash, Edge, JBL, Umaga, Mike Knox, The Undertaker, Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston over the years.
His best year was 2010 when, following interference from Shawn Michaels, he pinned Undertaker at the end of the match to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
