Elimination Chamber (also known as No Way Out in Germany) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE), which took place on February 21, 2010 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri. It replaced No Way Out as IWE's February pay-per-view. Six matches were aired on the broadcast and one dark match occurred prior to the live broadcast.
==Production and concept==
In late 2009, International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE) held a poll on their official website to allow fans to choose a name for their February pay-per-view. The choices included Elimination Chamber, Heavy Metal, Battle Chamber, Chamber of Conflict and No Way Out, which had been the name of the preceeding Elimination Chamber-based event. The name Elimination Chamber won, and the event was renamed. Despite this, the event was still promoted as No Way Out in Germany.
The concept of the show was that each main event match was to be contested as an Elimination Champion match. The Elimination Chamber is a circular steel cage, consisting of chains and girders, that surrounds the ring. Four 'pods' are enclosed within the chamber, one behind each ring post, which are on a steel platform surrounding the outside of the ring. Six wrestlers compete in the match; four are enclosed within the pods and released at random at specific time intervals, and two start the match. Wrestlers can only be eliminated via pinfall and sibmission, and the last wrestler left is the winner. For the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, both of IWE world championships, the IWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship, were to be defended in separate Elimination Chamber matches.
Just prior to the commencement of the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match, Martin McAlmond was involved in a pyrotechnics accident during his ring entrance. He was temporarily engulfed in flames when the pyrotechnics were mistimed, and his jacket caught on fire. It was later reported that he'd suffered first-and second-degree burns to his neck and chest, and according to a IWE spokesperson the injury "looked like a bad sunburn". He was only allowed to participate in the match after being cleared by a ringside doctor and was given bottles of water throughout the match to douse himself with to attempt to alleviate the discomfort.

Prior to the live broadcast of the pay-per-view, Khristian defeated Russell Dalton in a singles match by pinfall.
====Preliminary matches====

The first match that aired on the pay-per-view was the Raw Elimination Chamber match, which involved Kevin McAlmond, Triple K, Kyle Johnson, Jose Serrano, Dustin Simpson and the defending IWE Champion Garrett. Garrett and Serrano started the match, while the other four competitors were locked inside 'pods'. One pod at a time opened during the match at intervals of five minutes, releasing a wrestler into the match. Triple K was the first wrestler released, followed by Kevin McAlmond, Kyle Johnson, and finally Simpson. After Simpson entered the match, Mark Semmler, an ally of both Kyle Johnson and Kevin McAlmond went to ringside, and threw a steel pipe into the cage. Kyle Johnsed used the pipe to hit both Kevin McAlmond and Dustin Simpson, and then covered Kevin McAlmond to eliminate him from the match after approximately 24 minutes. Serrano used his finishing move, "Trouble in Paradise" (a 540 kick) to eliminate Kyle Johnson after 25-and-a-half minutes. Immediately afterward, Garrett eliminated Serrano by pinfall, before being eliminated himself by Triple K at approximately 29 minutes, leaving only Dustin Simpson and Triple K. Dustin Simpson used a submission hold, the STF on Triple K to eliminate him from the match via submission. As a result, Dustin Simpson won the IWE Championship for the sixth time, his eighth world championship.
