With a total of seven matches, including two Elimination Chamber matches, WWE produced an amazing pay-per-view while building up feuds on the road to WrestleMania. Four titles were defended at the event, and a couple of qualifying matches also took place.
The United States Title and the WWE Title changed hands. On the other hand, the Women's Tag Team Titles and the Universal Title were defended successfully. The Miz finally cashed in the Money in the Bank contract to win the WWE Title in the main event.
Elimination Chamber was a great event for some wrestlers, while it was also a forgettable one for some other Superstars.
10 Stole The Show: Matt Riddle
Matt Riddle received another title shot at the United States Championship against Bobby Lashley after squandering a couple of previous opportunities. However, it wasn't a singles match, as John Morrison joined Lashley and Riddle when he qualified for the match by winning the Fatal 4 Way match in the pre-show.
It was a great match, but Riddle stole the show at the climax. Meanwhile, he pinned Morrison to win the belt, not Bobby Lashley.
9 Flopped: Randy Orton
Given Randy Orton's experience in Elimination Chamber matches, he was anticipated to do well this year as well, especially due to his momentum. Entering at the number two position, Orton started the match, and he was looking like a favorite.
Surprisingly, the 14-time World Champion had a disappointing night, as he was the first man to be eliminated among six wrestlers. Kofi Kingston pinned Randy Orton to eliminate him, and he lasted just over eight minutes in the match.
8 Stole The Show: Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan once again proved her mettle in an Elimination Chamber match, winning the third Elimination Chamber match of his career. Bryan entered the match from the first spot, which certainly made it difficult for him to overcome the other five men.
Nonetheless, lasting nearly 35 minutes, he showed grit to win the match at the end.
After such a long battle inside the steel cage, Bryan was already dog-tired. Therefore, when Roman Reigns came out to fight Bryan, the latter wasn't in a situation to fight. The Tribal Chief squashed Bryan to retain the title. Regardless of the Universal Championship match, Bryan had a stupendous night at Elimination Chamber.
7 Flopped: Ali
Ali had a golden opportunity to prove his importance as the leader of Retribution at Elimination Chamber this year, where he competed in a Fatal 4 Way match in the kick-off show. A victory in that match would have given him a title shot for the United States Title later in the night.
Even though Ali had his Retribution members by his side, he still failed to make a mark in the match. The match was won by John Morrison.
6 Stole The Show: Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns played it smart at Elimination Chamber. Unlike Drew McIntyre, the Universal Champion didn't defend the belt inside the colossal steel structure against multiple opponents. Instead, he chose to face the winner of the first Chamber match of the night.
When Reigns came out to defend the title, he didn't have trouble beating a worn-out Daniel Bryan. After the match, his celebration was cut short by Edge, who ambushed the champion, which confirmed Edge's pick on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
5 Flopped: Sasha Banks
Sasha Banks didn't defend her SmackDown Women's Champion, but she had a chance to become a double champion because she, along with Bianca Belair, challenged the reigning WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, Shayna Baszler, and Nia Jax.
While the match was going well, Reginald's interference spoiled the party. He offered Banks a bottle of champagne in the middle of the match. Taking advantage of the distraction, Nia Jax pinned the SmackDown Women's Champion with a Samoan Drop to retain their twin belts.
4 Stole The Show: The Miz
Elimination Chamber was a night to remember for The Miz because he certainly stole the show at the end of the night. After a couple of previous failed attempts to cash-in the Money in the Bank contract, the A-Lister finally cashed in the briefcase successfully at Elimination Chamber.
Drew McIntyre retained the WWE Championship after battling in an Elimination Chamber match for half an hour. Moreover, Bobby Lashley assaulted him after the match to make the situation worse for The Scottish Warrior. Seeing the perfect opportunity, The Miz cashed in and won the WWE Championship for the second time in his career after connecting a devastating Skull Crushing Finale.
3 Flopped: Kevin Owens
After a stupendous feud with Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens was certainly a top pick to win the Elimination Chamber match, considering how good their feud had been. However, Owens had a dismal time inside the steel structure.
Owens was the third man to be eliminated from the match, but he did get to eliminate friend-turned-foe Sami Zayn. It would have been great for Owens, had he defeated five other men to secure the Universal Title match once again.
2 Stole The Show: Drew McIntyre
Even though Drew McIntyre lost the WWE Title at Elimination Chamber, he still had an incredible night. Needless to say, he was one of the best performers from the pay-per-view.
McIntyre entered the match as the third spot, so he had a tough task in his hands. He showed valor and dominated the majority of the match, using every move in his arsenal, including a beautiful Claymore Kick to AJ Styles in mid-air. After his victory, assaults from Bobby Lashley and The Miz proved too much for a weary McIntyre.
1 Flopped: Sheamus
Sheamus had a huge advantage heading into Elimination Chamber because he was guaranteed to be the last man to enter the match. Despite such a privilege, The Celtic Warrior had an average encounter inside the steel cage.
Sheamus didn't last very long in the match, and he was the fourth wrestler to be eliminated from the match. When Sheamus connected a Brogue Kick to McIntyre, the former got hit by a Phenomenal Forearm to get pinned.
