Elimination Chamber 2019 Statistics

The first Elimination Chamber match took place at Survivor Series 2002 in Madison Square Garden. Since it's inception there has been 22 Elimination Chamber matches, with two more to take place this Sunday.

The match was based around the concept of the old WCW War Games matches. Triple H pitched the idea and originally sketched it on a napkin. It has become a staple of WWE gimmick matches and has been given its own pay-per-view since 2010.

The match has been used to crown number one contenders and is the last chance for wrestlers to guarantee themselves a WrestleMania main event.

Despite the popularity of the match its records and statistics are not valued as much as those of The Royal Rumble match. For some odd reason, the records are not recognized as much as the Rumble records. That is why I wanted to take a look at some of the statistics of Elimination Chamber matches through the years.

Most Appearances

Chris Jericho

No other wrestler in the history of the WWE has competed in more Elimination Chamber matches than Chris Jericho. Jericho has entered the Chamber eight times over the years.

John Cena is in second with seven entries. Randy Orton currently has the third most entries with six and will tie with Cena when he competes in his seventh Chamber match this Sunday. Triple H has also entered the match six times and Kane has been in five matches.

Kofi Kingston will enter his fourth Elimination Chamber match this Sunday when he replaces the injured Mustafa Ali.

Last year saw the first ever women's Elimination Chamber match take place. Bayley, Sasha Banks, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville competed in that match and will make their second appearance in the women's tag team title match this Sunday.

Most Eliminations

Chris Jericho also holds the record for the most overall eliminations in Elimination Chamber matches. Over the years he has eliminated ten people. Triple H has seven eliminations in his six appearances in the match.

Braun Strowman holds a very impressive record in terms of percentages. Strowman competed in his first Chamber match last year and eliminated five opponents. This gives him an 83.33% success rate in the Chamber.

Alexa Bliss eliminated two people on her way to winning the women's Elimination Chamber match last year, giving her the record for the most eliminations in the women's division.

Roman Reigns and Jack Swagger are the only singles competitors to win the match with just one elimination. Both only had to eliminate their last opponents to win their respective matches. The New Day won the first ever tag team Elimination Chamber by eliminating The Prime Time Players.

Most Victories

Triple H

Seventeen men and one woman have won the Elimination Chamber since 2002. Fifty-two men and five women have entered the Chamber match but fell short of winning. Three of those seventeen men are The New Day. They won the first ever tag team Chamber match in 2015.

Triple H holds the record for the most Elimination Chamber wins. He has won four of the six matches he has entered over the years. John Cena has won the match three times. Edge has been victorious twice, his last win coming in at No Way Out 2009 where he competed in both Chamber matches that night. He lost his WWE Championship in the first match and walked out as Heavyweight Champion after winning the second.

Alexa Bliss is the only Women to win an Elimination Chamber match. She will be joined by the winners of this Sunday's Chamber match to determine the first ever Women's Tag Team Champions.

The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt, Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, Ryback, CM Punk, Bobby Lashley and Jack Swagger have all won the match once. Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton have the chance to increase that number this Sunday.

Title Changes and Defences

Bray Wyatt

A new Champion has been crowned nine times in the Elimination Chamber. A new World Heavyweight Champion has been crowned four times, the most changes of any title. The WWE Championship has changed hands three times in the Chamber over the years. The ECW and Intercontinental Championships have changed hands once.

There have been five Elimination Chamber matches where number one contender-ship was on the line. These matches determined who would challenge for a championship at WrestleMania. Roman Reigns won the Elimination Chamber match last year. He earned the right to face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 34. He went on to lose that match. The Undertaker is the only wrestler to win a number one contender Chamber match and win the scheduled championship match afterwards. He won at No Way Out 2008 and went on to win the Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 24.
