There are various reasons why the Elimination Chamber is one of the most popular match types in pro-wrestling. Not only does it have a devilish structure that fans love, but it also serves as a significant advancement on the road to WrestleMania.
The latest edition of the event is right around the weekend, and the match card for the extravaganza looks pretty intense. In a first-time-ever dream match, Roman Reigns and Becky Lynch will take on WWE Hall of Famers Goldberg and Lita.
And, of course, there's the Elimination Chamber match. The match is perhaps the highlight of the event. Brock Lesnar will be entering the structure this time, and thus, hopes are naturally sky-high.
Whether the match will turn out to be a spectacle or not is a question that will only be answered on the 19th of February. In the meantime, let us walk down memory lane and rank the five most recent Men's Elimination Chamber matches.
Which of the following contests kept you the most excited? Also, where do you think the 2022 match will be placed among these? You are welcome to voice your thoughts in the comments.
#5 in our list of ranking the last Men's Elimination Chamber matches- The Tag-Team Chamber of 2020
The 2020 edition of the Elimination Chamber featured six tag-teams entering the devilish structure. The Miz and John Morrison defended their SmackDown tag golds against The Usos, Lucha House Party, The New Day, Heavy Machinery, and The Dirty Dawgs.
The six duos gave a stellar performance in the match, which lasted more than half an hour. The buildup to the event, too, was pretty exciting as the teams contested in a tag-team gauntlet match.
Though Dirty Dawgs (Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode) won the previous match, they failed to capitalize on it in the Elimination Chamber itself. In the climax, The Miz and John Morrison succeeded in retaining their gold.
It was a great match to watch. The only reason it is ranked fifth is that while it was good, the others are better by a slight margin.
#4. Drew McIntyre retained his title in the chamber in 2021
The last Elimination Chamber match to take place was for the WWE Championship. Drew McIntyre entered the match as the defending champion and ended the match as the champion.
AJ Styles, Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy, and Sheamus were the other superstars who participated in the match in a failed attempt. However, it can't be denied that the six superstars managed to put on a great match.
Interestingly, the Scottish Psychopath's victory didn't help him much because then Mr. Money in the Bank, The Miz, immediately cashed in to take the title from McIntyre's shoulder.
#3. Roman Reigns earned his ticket to WrestleMania in 2018
The first and only Elimination Chamber match to consist of seven superstars was in 2018 for a Universal Title match. The buildup to the event was great as the seven superstars competed in a gauntlet match which lasted roughly two hours.
In the event, Braun Strowman eliminated The Miz, Finn Balor, John Cena, Elias, and Seth Rollins, making him the first superstar to eliminate five other entrants. He, however, couldn't win the match and was eliminated by Roman Reigns.
Overall, the match was pretty exciting and is worth a rewatch for the performances of these talented superstars.
#2. Daniel Bryan won the match in 2021 for a Universal title match
Almost every match involving Daniel Bryan is an instant classic. That certainly was the case when he squared off against Cesaro, Jey Uso, Kevin Owens, Baron Corbin, and Sami Zayn for a Universal title opportunity.
The match was a spectacle, and each superstar put on a stellar performance. Bryan finally overcame the odds to triumph in the contest. However, his celebration was short-lived, as Roman Reigns gave him the title opportunity right then. The Tribal Chief defeated an exhausted Bryan within seconds.
#1. Daniel Bryan retained his WWE title, and Kofimania began at Elimination Chamber 2019
Randy Orton, AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, Daniel Bryan, and Ali were scheduled to lock horns in the Elimination Chamber for Bryan's WWE Championship. Ali suffered an injury before the contest and was replaced by Kofi Kingston.
What came next was arguably one of the greatest storylines in recent history. Kofi Kingston began his journey of Kofimania on the RAW before Elimination Chamber.
He fought bravely in the gauntlet match on the red brand, but Orton won the contest. Kingston took revenge by eliminating The Viper in the Chamber itself. He and Bryan fought for a considerable amount of time across the whole structure before the WWE Champion finally came on top.
The match is one of the greatest in the modern era and is the beginning of one of the best storylines.
