Elimination Chamber is a pay-per-view (PPV) event consisting of a main event and undercard that features championship matches and other various matches.  The concept of the show was that the two main event matches were contested inside the Elimination Chamber; one of these matches typically featured the WWE Championship being defended, while the other was usually contested for the World Heavyweight Championship (the two titles were unified in December 2013).  The first Elimination Chamber event took place on February 21, 2010 and aired live on PPV.  The event's name was selected after WWE allowed fans to provide input via a survey on their official website and was chosen over Heavy Metal, Battle Chamber, Chamber of Conflict, and the original No Way Out name.  Since its origin, each event has been held in an indoor arena, with all five taking place in the United States.  In 2015, the event was replaced by Fastlane in the February pay-per-view slot.
