One of the most anticipated nights on the WWE calendar involves an unforgiving steel structure standing in the way of victory. The Elimination Chamber premium live event typically features matches with six wrestlers locked inside a steel cage. Two wrestlers start the match, while the other four remain locked in pods. At timed intervals, a pod will swing open and another wrestler will enter the fray. Competitors are eliminated by pinfall or submission until only one remains.
