Top 5: WWE Elimination Chamber Competitors

The Elimination Chamber is a match that still carries some weight with a number of fans. Unlike other gimmick PPVs the Elimination Chamber feels right at home as the biggest stop on the road to WrestleMania. Though the Chamber is known as one of the most dangerous matches there are some competitors who’ve managed to conquer it. Here are the top five competitors to ever step foot in the Elimination Chamber.

5. Chris Jericho

While Jericho does lay claim to the records of most Chamber appearances with eight and eliminations of all time with ten, Y2J only has one win within the confines of the steel structure. That of which came with interference from Shawn Michaels. Realistically, Jericho could be put on a worst competitors list considering his abysmal record, but he has had such an impact that it would be a shame if he wasn’t a part of the list.

4. The Undertaker

The Undertaker is often associated with a handful of gimmick matches, from Hell in a Cell, to Casket, to Buried Alive matches. However it has seemingly gone under the radar that he does happen to be a standout performer in the Elimination Chamber. He may only possess one win inside the chamber, but the Phenom does have six eliminations under his belt in only three appearances. This is the best elimination to appearance ratio in the chamber’s history. He is also one of the men to start from the first position to go on an win the match, and let us not forget he competed in one after getting severely burned by his pyro.

3. Edge

The Rated R Superstar doesn’t exactly come to mind when taking about Elimination Chamber competitors, but the numbers don’t lie. With two wins out of four appearances and averaging one elimination per outing, Edge is quite decorated when in comes to the chain mesh. He is also the only man to compete in two chamber matches in the same night, one of which he ended up winning.

2. John Cena

John Cena will make his seventh appearance inside the chamber come Feb 25, bringing him just under Jericho in overall appearances. If he manages to win, Cena will tie Triple H with the Elimination Chamber wins, however unlikely that may be. What’s interesting, however, is two of Cena’s wins would lead to a defeat moments later, one by Edge cashing in his Money in the Bank contract at New Year’s Revolution 2006 and the other being Batista at the Elimination Chamber PPV in 2010.

1. Triple H

With four wins, seven eliminations, and six appearances, the Game certainly deserves to be king of the chamber. The first man to lose and retain a championship in the structure, as well as well as being the only man to win back to back chamber matches, and doing it twice, he has been an integral part of the match’s history. It is safe to say Triple H won’t be stepping inside the chamber to compete for gold in the later stages of his career, so someone may take over his top spot someday. But for now he sits atop the Elimination Chamber throne.
