Elimination Chamber 2014 Elimination Chamber 2014 was a professional wrestling pay - per - view event produced by WWE . It took place on February 23 , 2014 , at the Target Center in Minneapolis , Minnesota . The pay - per - view was the fifth annual Elimination Chamber event . 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 is that the two main event matches ( usually one from the Raw brand and one from the SmackDown brand ) are contested inside the Elimination Chamber ; one of these matches typically features the WWE Championship being defended , while the other is usually contested for the World Heavyweight Championship . Background . Elimination Chamber featured professional wrestling matches involving wrestlers from pre - existing scripted feuds , plots , and storylines that play out on WWE ' s television programs , RAW and SmackDown ! . Wrestlers portray heroes or villains as they follow a series of events that build tension , and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches at the event . The main event will be the Elimination Chamber match , where Randy Orton will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against five wrestlers after retaining it at the Royal Rumble from John Cena . The night after the Rumble on " Raw " , Daniel Bryan confronted The Authority for keeping him out of the Rumble match . Stephanie McMahon claimed they didn ' t want to overwork him with two matches in a night , but Bryan concluded they disliked him due to his popularity . He demanded Triple H put him in the Elimination Chamber title match . Triple H sent in The Shield to attack Bryan , but Cena and Sheamus saved him . This set up an Elimination Chamber qualifying match between those three and The Shield . During the match , The Wyatt Family attacked Cena , giving his team a disqualification win , meaning Cena , Sheamus , and Bryan all qualified for the Chamber match . On the January 31 " SmackDown " , Antonio Cesaro defeated Dolph Ziggler to qualify , and his partner Jack Swagger lost his qualifier to a returning Christian . On the February 2 edition of " Raw " , Stephanie McMahon would mandate Randy Orton to compete in a " Elimination Chamber Gauntlet " where he must face each of his Chamber opponents in single matches . He was defeated by Daniel Bryan that same night , but secured a win by defeating Christian on the February 7 edition of " Smackdown " . He then was defeated by Cena on the February 10 edition of " Raw " and by Cesaro on February 14 episode of " Smackdown " . His last opponent , Sheamus won by disqualification , as The Shield got involved on the February 17 episode of " Raw " . On the January 31 " SmackDown " , The Shield refused Triple H ' s request for the group to drop the matter of The Wyatt Family disqualifying them from the Chamber match , so a six - man tag team match between the factions was set up for the PPV . After Batista ' s WWE return was announced in December , Alberto Del Rio began saying fans should talk about him instead and vowed to eliminate Batista from the Royal Rumble match . On the January 20 " Raw " , following a victory over Rey Mysterio , Del Rio was attacked by Batista and hit with his finishing move the Batista Bomb . Del Rio entered the Rumble at number 27 and lasted just under three minutes before Batista , who was the next entrant , eliminated him . On the February 3 " Raw " , Batista was interrupted and briefly assaulted by Del Rio , however the latter quickly escaped the ring . On the next " Raw " , after Del Rio defeated Dolph Ziggler , Batista came out and delivered a Batista Bomb to Del Rio through the announce table . Triple H then announced the two would wrestle at the Elimination Chamber pay - per - view . On the February 13 " SmackDown " , Jack Swagger defeated Mark Henry , Rey Mysterio , and Kofi Kingston in a Fatal Four - Way match to become the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship , and will wrestle champion Big E for the title at the PPV . As announced on WWE . com , The Usos ( Jimmy and Jey Uso ) will face WWE Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws ( Road Dogg and Billy Gunn ) for the titles at the PPV . This was made when the Usos asked the Outlaws to fight the for the championship for the following weeks . Then , they accepted the challenge . Former Prime Time Players tag team members Titus O ' Neil and Darren Young will wrestle at the PPV . The feud began on the January 31 episode of " SmackDown " when O ' Neil attacked Young after a tag team loss by the Prime Time Players , with O ' Neil claiming that Young was " dead weight " and " holding him back " .
