Elimination Chamber

Elimination Chamber is a professional wrestling match held by WWE. It takes place in a large steel cage that surrounds the entire ring. The chamber contains four clear, plexiglass pods. 

The match was created by Triple H, and introduced by Eric Bischoff at Survivor Series in November 2002. It usually features six competitors with two starting the match. One or two matches have taken place each year (except in 2004 and 2016). A pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event series, also called Elimination Chamber (or No Escape in Germany), replaced No Way Out in 2010. A women's variation was introduced at the 2018 event.

 Match rules 

Wrestlers are eliminated by pinfall or submission, which originally was allowed to happen in the ring or on the chamber's elevated floor, but since 2010 event all pinfalls and submissions must take place within the ring. Disqualifications and count-outs do not apply. The winner of the match is the last remaining wrestler (or team of wrestlers) after all others have been eliminated.
