Top 5 elimination chamber performers of all time

Cena has been in some of the best Elimination Chamber matches

WWE is an interesting workplace where people might end up with broken bones or jaws while working. Superstars go through a lot in a match with bodies on the line all the time. Every week the WWE presents us something extra to woo about.

The creative team of WWE has been as efficient as it gets with its occasional introduction of new types of matches. Royal Rumble, Hell in a cell, Punjabi prison match, lumberjack match and so on, the list continues forever.

But one type of match which the WWE universe loves watching the most is the elimination chamber match.

The rules of the match are simple where two men star in the match and 4 other men are locked inside the chamber.

After equal intervals, each chamber opens, and in the end, the last man to successfully eliminates every other competitor wins the match, sounds simple only it's not!

The chamber is made of tons of chains which can break bones, destroy careers and rip the flesh apart. It sounds scary and it actually is scary.

Over the years there have been many chamber matches, many men have participated in the brutal structure but few have stood out out amongst the rest. These five men have been the best performers inside the chamber and their record speaks for itself.

Following are the top five performers inside the elimination chamber matches.


#5 Chris Jericho

Y2J is a bona fide legend of the company

You know what we do to legends like Chris Jericho? You know what we do to men who have been part of most chamber matches? You know what we do to great performers like Chris Jericho who has entertained us for so many years inside the brutal chamber?

Jericho, YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!

Y2J is a bona fide legend of the company. The Canadian has been one of the stars for the company and his gimmicks are well accepted by the WWE universe.

Over the years, Jericho has participated in 10 chamber matches which makes him the most experienced one inside the barbaric structure.

And it won't be an exaggeration to say that the former world champion has been impressive in all of them. Though his winning percentage is slightly low as he has won just 1 out of 10, its the overall persona that makes him so famous.

It was in 2010, at the elimination chamber pay-per-view when Jericho defeated 5 other men including the defending world heavyweight champion - the Undertaker, to become the new World Heavyweight champion.

The match is well remembered for Shawn Michaels' interference which cost The Undertaker his world title and thus Jericho got his first and till date only taste of success inside the brutal structure.

It remains to be seen if we'll see the lead singer of Fozzy inside the structure ever again.

#4 Randy Orton

The legend killer, Randy Orton is the possessor of the great finisher known as RKO. The 13-time world champion has done it all in the WWE, from winning titles to Royal Rumbles, as well as the Elimination Chamber match. The 38-year old wrestler from Missouri is one of the most loved WWE Superstars of all time

Over the years Randy Orton has been a part of 6 chamber matches, winning 1 when he sent 5 other men to Viperville as he successfully defended his WWE world heavyweight title.

He got the better of 5 other WWE superstars- John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Cesaro, Christian, and Sheamus to retain his belt at Elimination Chamber,2014 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Orton has been a part of many memorable elimination chamber matches over the years and has been a quality performer inside the barbaric structure.

#3 Edge

Edge!

The Hall of Famer is a veteran of the brutal structure. To date Edge remains the only man to participate in multiple chamber matches in one night. He did so in 2009 at No Way Out PPV.

He started the night as the WWE champion but was eliminated by Jeff Hardy in the opening moments of the match but the Rated R superstar came as a wildcard for the World Heavy championship chamber match later that evening and won by eliminating Rey Mysterio last to become the new World Heavyweight champion.

It is a shame we don't get to see the Ultimate Opportunist compete anymore due to his sudden retirement in 2011.

During his illustrious career, the 11-time World Champion competed in 4 chamber matches and won 2 of them.

#2 John Cena

Cena!

The Leader of Cenation has been part of 7 elimination matches to date and has been victorious on 3 occasions. The franchise player has been the face of the company for the better part of last decade.

The 16-time world champion has tested every bit of success at the WWE. He has won titles, represented the company globally, won Royal Rumbles, Hell in a Cell matches and Elimination Chambers.

Whenever a major honour is being talked about, it is hard to keep John Cena out of it. And being one of the top performers in a match as brutal as Elimination Chamber, it is nothing less than an honour.

John Cena's most famous chamber win is probably when he defeated Sheamus, Triple H, Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton and Ted DiBiase to become the new WWE Champion. Unfortunately, Vince McMahon interrupted the champ’s victory celebration by putting him in a quick match against The Animal - Batista.

#1 Triple H

HHH!

The Game - Triple H is probably the mastermind behind the maniac structure we call the Elimination Chamber. The 14-time World Champion is the most accomplished superstar inside the gigantic structure with 4 victories to his name. The Cerebral Assassin has been part of many famous chamber matches.

The Game was one of the 6 men in the inaugural chamber match that took place in 2002 when Shawn Michaels defeated Triple H, Kane, Chris Jericho, Booker T and Rob Van Dam to become the new World Heavyweight champion. Since then The Game has been a part of 5 more matches and has been the last man standing in 4 of them.

His most famous chamber match was probably in 2009, No way out PPV when the last 2 men in the ring were Triple H and The Undertaker. The icons went toe to toe, but in the end it was the current COO of the company who won the match and thereby became the World Champion for the 12th time.

The cerebral assassin has faced the wrath of the brutal structure but always managed to find a way to be victorious. The game is undoubtedly the greatest chamber performer of all time.

Apart from Shawn Michaels, John Cena is the only man to win a chamber match against Triple H. He did so in 2010 by last eliminating The Game to become WWE Champion.
