However, major world title matches outside of the Chamber, and marquee matches have also captivated the audience at the event. With the Elimination Chamber being the final major roadblock on the road to WrestleMania, wrestlers are leaving nothing to chance and are desperate to appear at WrestleMania. Nevertheless, some of the greatest matches in the history of the Elimination Chamber are a mixture of Chamber matches and non-Chamber bouts.<\/p>\n<h2>5. John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt vs. AJ Styles vs. The Miz vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin &#8211; Elimination Chamber 2017<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FULL MATCH: WWE Title Elimination Chamber Match: WWE Elimination Chamber 2017\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-am6VF-LKdw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>John Cena clinched his record-equaling 16th WWE World Championship at the 2017 Royal Rumble. Two weeks later, Cena defended his newly won WWE Championship inside the barbaric Elimination Chamber. The likes of AJ Styles, Bray Wyatt, and the Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose were some of Cena&#8217;s challengers looking to take the gold away from him.<\/p>\n<p>The Eater of Worlds stole the show, and he was responsible for bringing the curtain down on Cena&#8217;s WWE Championship reign with his patented Sister Abigail. Furthermore, a new WWE Champion was guaranteed. However, Styles attempted to regain the WWE Championship rapidly with his Phenomenal Forearm. Wyatt had other ideas as he connected with his trademark Sister Abigail to win his first WWE Championship.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>4. Daniel Bryan vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Samoa Joe vs. AJ Styles &#8211; Elimination Chamber 2019<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FULL MATCH - WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match: WWE Elimination Chamber 2019\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Muh2lPWhEqg?start=2267&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Fans were pulling for Kofi Kingston to win the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber 2019. Daniel Bryan entered as the reigning WWE Champion, and former WWE Champions Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy, and AJ Styles were looking for another run with the gold, as was Samoa Joe, seeking his first WWE Title reign. However, this match did not fail to disappoint with some incredible drama throughout.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan&#8217;s endurance was put to the test, and he lasted 36 minutes. The defending WWE Champion and Kingston were the final two competitors. Their back-and-forth was brilliant, but it wasn&#8217;t to be a fairytale ending for Kingston as Bryan continued his WWE Championship reign after putting Kingston out of his misery with the Running Knee.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>3. Kevin Owens vs. John Cena &#8211; Elimination Chamber 2015<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FULL MATCH - John Cena vs. Kevin Owens: WWE Elimination Chamber 2015\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WV7ZVMbzNAk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>One of the greatest singles matches in the history of the Elimination Chamber was Kevin Owens and John Cena&#8217;s match at Elimination Chamber 2015. This was KO&#8217;s first match on the main roster, walking in as the reigning NXT Champion. Cena held the WWE United States Championship, but neither championship was on the line in their non-title match. Nevertheless, they told an excellent story with KO showcasing that he was more than ready to hang with the big guns.<\/p>\n<p>Cena executed a moonsault, which isn&#8217;t something in his arsenal. Both men had strong resilience, with the pair kicking out of each other&#8217;s respective finishers. Nevertheless, it was a debut to remember for the reigning NXT Champion as he defeated the then 15-time WWE world champion with his trademark Pop-up Powerbomb.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>2. The Wyatt Family vs. The Shield &#8211; Elimination Chamber 2014<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FULL MATCH: The Wyatt Family vs. The Shield: WWE Elimination Chamber 2014\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AJhrJW2gUKU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>One of the greatest six-man tag team matches in WWE history took place at the 2014 iteration of the Elimination Chamber. The Wyatt Family and The Shield, two of the most popular trios, went head-to-head in a war of attrition. Fans were mesmerized by what they were witnessing. There was a plethora of near-falls and false finishes with the crowd heavily involved. However, both teams had their chances to get the job done.<\/p>\n<p>Luke Harper and Erick Rowan put Seth Rollins away with a double chokeslam through the broadcast table. Ultimately, both teams looked stronger coming out of the match, and it was the right result with Wyatt executing the Sister Abigail on Roman Reigns, scoring a monumental victory for the Wyatt Family.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>1. Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn &#8211; Elimination Chamber 2025<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FULL MATCH: Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens | Unsanctioned Match: Elimination Chamber 2025\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g4c1xDljsYQ?start=1910&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As it stands, the final wrestling match in Kevin Owens&#8217; WWE career was against his former best friend, Sami Zayn, at Elimination Chamber 2025. They battled in front of their home-country fans in Toronto, Canada, in a five-star Unsanctioned match. Their chemistry is unrivaled, and unsurprisingly, they hit a home run in an exceptional wrestling match. KO and Zayn&#8217;s match took off into the crowd. Furthermore, Zayn put a trashcan onto KO&#8217;s head, and KO fell down the stairs into the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Zayn had the upper hand by putting KO through a table. Their match was brutal, and KO pushed Zayn through the table onto the outside of the ring. Several brutal spots throughout the match, and Zayn introduced a steel chair wrapped in barbed wire. Moreover, KO was an unfortunate recipient of some brutal chair shots to the back, and he was writhing in pain. However, Zayn connected with one of the best Blue Thunderbombs in history by planting KO onto the chair wrapped in barbed wire.<\/p>\n<p>The former Universal Champion wasn&#8217;t going down without a fight as he had evil intentions by wrapping a chair around Zayn&#8217;s neck and pushing him into a turnbuckle. They stole the show, and KO sealed the deal in the latest chapter of their rivalry after connecting with the Pop-up Powerbomb onto the apron.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><amp-ad data-block-on-consent=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"600\" layout=\"fixed\" data-multi-size=\"300x250,300x600\" data-multi-size-validation=\"false\" type=\"doubleclick\" data-slot=\"\/15188745,22512265771\/FS-lastwordonsports-AMP\/AMP-2\" data-enable-refresh=\"30\" data-lazy-fetch=\"true\" data-loading-strategy=\"1.25\" rtc-config=\"{ &quot;vendors&quot;: { &quot;t13&quot;: { &quot;TAG_ID&quot;: &quot;4f799893-5665-4629-b0fc-8b97d3569fd6&quot;, &quot;ACCOUNT_ID&quot;: &quot;9a3c6c23-453a-4cba-b419-30b908f39a50&quot; }, &quot;aps&quot;: { &quot;PUB_ID&quot;: &quot;600&quot;, &quot;PUB_UUID&quot;: &quot;16268e26-dabe-4bf4-a28f-b8f4ee192ed3&quot;, &quot;PARAMS&quot;: { &quot;amp&quot;: &quot;1&quot; } }, &quot;criteo&quot;: { &quot;NETWORK_ID&quot;: &quot;4905&quot;, &quot;ZONE_ID&quot;: &quot;1382491&quot;, &quot;PUBLISHER_SUB_ID&quot;: &quot;FS-lastwordonsports-AMP-2&quot; }, &quot;medianet&quot;: { &quot;CID&quot;: &quot;8CU8ZT2C4&quot; } } }\"><\/amp-ad><amp-ad data-block-on-consent=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"280\" layout=\"fixed\" data-multi-size=\"300x250\" data-multi-size-validation=\"false\" type=\"doubleclick\" data-slot=\"\/15188745,22512265771\/FS-lastwordonsports-AMP\/AMP-1\" data-enable-refresh=\"30\" data-lazy-fetch=\"true\" data-loading-strategy=\"1.25\" rtc-config=\"{ &quot;vendors&quot;: { &quot;t13&quot;: { &quot;TAG_ID&quot;: &quot;d9161051-a91e-4a3c-b6ab-d253bdb38cd9&quot;, &quot;ACCOUNT_ID&quot;: &quot;9a3c6c23-453a-4cba-b419-30b908f39a50&quot; }, &quot;aps&quot;: { &quot;PUB_ID&quot;: &quot;600&quot;, &quot;PUB_UUID&quot;: &quot;16268e26-dabe-4bf4-a28f-b8f4ee192ed3&quot;, &quot;PARAMS&quot;: { &quot;amp&quot;: &quot;1&quot; } }, &quot;criteo&quot;: { &quot;NETWORK_ID&quot;: &quot;4905&quot;, &quot;ZONE_ID&quot;: &quot;1382491&quot;, &quot;PUBLISHER_SUB_ID&quot;: &quot;FS-lastwordonsports-AMP-1&quot; }, &quot;medianet&quot;: { &quot;CID&quot;: &quot;8CU8ZT2C4&quot; } } }\"><\/amp-ad><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Header photo \u2013 WWE\u00a0\u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/span><u><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/span><\/a><\/u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> for more on the WWE Elimination Chamber and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
