WWE Elimination Chamber 2018, results & video highlights

Men's Elimination Chamber match

This picture basically sums up the entire match

The participants were Elias, Braun Strowman, John Cena, Roman Reigns, The Miz, Seth Rollins & Finn Balor.

Elias was in the ring and the crowd was hot for him. He turned the crowd around very fast and got them to boo the living daylights out of him. When he threatened to stop playing and go into the pod, the crowd went nuts.

Braun Strowman would cut off his song, much to the pleasure of the crowd. John Cena entered next and then Roman Reigns entered the final pod. The final participants The Miz, Seth Rollins and Finn Balor (in blue gear) entered and started the match.

The Miz tried to give Balor the "too sweet" to team up against Rollins, but Balor and Rollins both laughed it off and attacked him together. It soon became the three-way it should've been.

The crowd was hot and the three went at each other before John Cena was entry #1. He had a stare-down with Rollins and soon took him out, along with the Miz. He did a double-five knuckle shuffle onto both Rollins and Miz.

Cena would go for an Attitude adjustment on both Balor and Rollins, but Balor escaped on time and Rollins countered the AA into an enziguri. There was a double suplex spot, where Cena suplexed Balor and Rollins suplexed The Miz.

With all four men down, Roman Reigns was entry #2. He cleared the ring and had a stand-off with Rollins, which was interrupted by The Miz. Balor and Reigns would have a back and forth until Reigns neutralised him with a powerbomb.

Reigns stood all and the crowd chanted "get these hands" knowing well who was next. The countdown began and Braun Strowman was entry #3. He stared at Reigns while he threw Rollins into the chains. He took out everyone in the ring except The Miz, who first went to the corner to avoid Braun.

The Miz would then climb up to escape The Monster Among Men but Braun climbed up, smashed The Miz's face against the bullet-proof glass thrice and then threw him down onto all five other competitors.

Braun would continue to wreak havoc in the structure and would hit the powerslam on The Miz. Sending him out first.

Elias was the final entry and he hid in the pod. As Braun turned around, he was ambushed by the other four competitors. They attacked him and hit a quadruple Shield powerbomb, only for him to kick out and send them all flying. The four-hit their finishers onto Braun but he rolled outside. After Balor hit the coupe-de-grace, Cena hit the AA on Reigns and things broke down. Elias tried to pin all competitors but failed to do so.

Elias continued to impress, being the freshest competitor of the lot. After he hit a sit-out powerbomb on Reigns, he was confronted by Strowman. Strowman ran into the post after Elias moved out.

Elias made a dumb move, trying to pick up Braun's weight on his neck for a sit-out powerbomb. Strowman was too heavy for him and he powerslammed Elias, eliminating him.

Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor and John Cena all attempted jumping attacks on Strowman. After Cena tried, he was caught and hit with the powerslam, getting eliminated.

Braun Strowman brought on all-comers and he was pit up against Balor, who put on a tremendous effort, avoiding the powerslam. He even hit a coup-de-grace on the back of Braun's head, unsuccessfully.

Balor was on the verge of eliminating Roman Reigns after hitting him with a coup-de-grace, but Braun picked him up and powerslammed him.

Rollins and Reigns teamed up to take on Strowman, but Rollins attacked Roman when he saw the opportunity. Rollins attacked Roman Reigns and they were evenly matched, neutralising each other. When Strowman picked Rollins up, The Architect clung onto the chains to escape and get on top of the pod. Roman hit a semi-Samoan Drop onto Braun when he attempted the ascent to the pod.

With Braun in the ring and Seth Rollins on top of the pod, he hit a frog splash, unsuccessfully. Seth Rollins hit two desperate superkicks onto Strowman and after going for the stomp, he was caught and hit with a powerslam.

A truly record-making performance by Strowman. With five eliminations, his performance is already the most dominant performance in Elimination Chamber history.

Strowman invited Reigns to get these hands. They had an intense back and forth exchange and Reigns sent him over the top rope, taking full advantage of his momentum.

It took Roman Reigns two spears to unsurprisingly finish the match and pin Strowman.
