Elimination Chamber Matches through the years: photos
WWE.com celebrates the 11th anniversary of the Elimination Chamber with a comprehensive photo history of every Elimination Chamber Match in history.
The Elimination Chamber: the final, vicious obstacle on The Road to WrestleMania.
Ten years ago, the Elimination Chamber Match was born at Survivor Series 2002, where Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Kane, Rob Van Dam and Booker T clashed for The Game's World Heavyweight Championship.
The rules are painfully simple: two Superstars begin the contest, with the remaining four sealed in pods. At regular intervals, a random pod will open and a new competitor joins the fray. The last man standing wins.
Chris Jericho becomes the first Superstar to be thrown through a pod in this contest, courtesy of Kane.
What ceilings? Rob Van Dam takes to the skies, targeting a prone Triple H in the first Elimination Chamber Match. Ironically, Van Dam was also the first Superstar ever eliminated from the Chamber, by Booker T.
It took a Pedigree from Triple H and a Lionsault from Jericho to keep Kane down long enough for a pin.
