World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match
The Undertaker (c) vs. Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk vs. John Morrison vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio
Mysterio, Morrison, Jericho and Undertaker enter the ring. CM Punk comes in next and cuts his usual promo before the match. R-Truth is in last, so he starts the match against Punk.
R-Truth dominated the opening minutes, and used the cage to his advantage and rammed Punk against is several times. Punk was able to gain the advantage and hit Truth with the GTS to eliminate R-Truth. Punk has some time for a breather since the pods don't open until the 5 minute mark. CM Punk eliminated R-Truth
Punk grabbed the mic and cut promos on the remaining participants, and asked the people at home to put their hands on their screens. Time's up, and Rey Mysterio is in next.
Rey startled Punk with his high-flying assault, and managed to get a two-count on Punk. Mysterio kept up the offense, but Punk was able to regain the advantage when Mysterio went for a hurricarana, but Punk caught Mysterio and rammed him into the cage. He held onto Mysterio and rammed him against the cage again. He then threw Mysterio head first into the glass of his pod, but was only able to secure a two count. Mysterio attempted to climb to the top of the pod, but Punk caught him and looked like he was positioning Mysterio for a GTS. Mysterio nailed Punk with a hurricarana and then a splash and got the three-count to eliminate Punk. Rey Mysterio eliminated CM Punk
9 seconds to go and Chris Jericho is in next. Jericho went on offense early, but Mysterio was able to counter Jericho and hit a 619 for a two count. Jericho regained the advantage and threw Mysterio to the cage, but Mysterio caught onto the cage. Jericho slammed Mysterio down onto the steel apron and maintained the advantage. Mysterio was able to surprise Jericho with a dragon sleeper, but Jericho was able to get out and put Mysterio in the Walls as the clock went out and John Morrison entered the match. Morrison broke the Walls and went to work on both Mysterio and Jericho. The three men proceeded to trade the advantage several times. Mysterio attempted to hit Morrison with a hurricarana from the top rope, but Morrison held onto the top rope and Mysterio crashed to the mat. Morrison followed up with Starship Pain on Mysterio to get the three-count. John Morrison eliminated Rey Mysterio
Jericho gets the Walls on Morrison, but the five minutes are up and The Undertaker gets in the ring. Taker breaks up the Walls (why?), and then gives both Morrison and Jericho a beatdown. Taker went for a double chokeslam on Jericho and Morrison, but they reversed it, taking Taker out of the match momentarily.
Jericho and Morrison went at it for several moments, with Jericho getting the better of the exchange. Jericho then went to the fallen Undertaker and smacked him upside the head, which woke Taker up. Taker chased Jericho, who tried to go back into his pod, but Taker caught him and nailed him with several punches before Jericho was able to get the door shut.
John Morrison and Taker then went toe to toe while Jericho stayed inside his pod. Morrison nailed Taker with a big kick, but held his angle selling his injury from Smackdown. Morrison went for Starship Pain, but Taker got his knee up and was back on offense. He went for the last ride on Morrison, but Jericho ran in and broke it up. Jericho then threw Taker into one of the pods, breaking the glass.
Undertaker was able to get back into the match and nail Morrison with a chokeslam on the steel apron outside the ring. He brought Morrison in the ring and scored the pin. The Undertaker eliminated John Morrison
We are now down to The Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho. After trading the advantage a couple of times, Jericho was able to get Taker in the Walls of Jericho. Taker was able to turn over and attempted Hells Gate, but Jericho was able to break free. Taker then got Jericho up for the tombstone, but Jericho was able to reverse it into a codebreaker, but was only able to secure a two count.
A frustrated Jericho started punching Taker in the corner, but Taker grabbed him and hit the Last Ride. Taker was slow to recover. He finally got back to his feet and signaled for the tombstone. Before he could go for it, Shawn Michaels entered the cage and nailed him with sweet chin music. Jericho then covered Taker for the three count as Michaels stood over them.
Winner and NEW World Heavyweight Champion: Chris Jericho
The show ended with Shawn Michaels standing over and gazing down at a fallen Undertaker.
