World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match (PPV - Elimination Chamber)

**Dale** · 02-04-2012, 08:35 PM

At WWE Elimination Chamber, World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan will defend his title against five other Superstars in the SmackDown Elimination Chamber Match. With a chance to headline WrestleMania at stake, Bryan will be challenged inside the massive structure by Randy Orton, Wade Barrett, Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes, Big Show and The Great Khali.

The World Heavyweight Champion will truly have the odds stacked against him once again when he steps into the Elimination Chamber on Feb. 19. Each Superstar participating will draw a number from one to six. The competitors who pick one and two will start off the match, while the other combatants will be locked in individual pods, waiting to enter the melee at regularly scheduled intervals. Superstars will be eliminated if they are pinned or submit. The last competitor standing will walk into WrestleMania the World Heavyweight Champion.

Bryan has never been inside the Elimination Chamber. However, the champion has managed to escape every predicament he’s found himself in in recent months. At the Royal Rumble, Bryan was trapped inside a steel cage with Big Show and Mark Henry. The World Heavyweight Champion wriggled free from the grip of The World’s Largest Athlete and escaped, still in possession of the title. Unfortunately for him, there is no escaping the Elimination Chamber. Can the crafty champion still find a way to retain his title?

Randy Orton is the most experienced Superstar in this match, having already been a part of four Elimination Chamber Matches. The Viper has yet to win one, but is extra hungry for gold after returning from injury and settling his score with Wade Barrett, who will also be locked in the Chamber.
The Barrett Barrage is tailor made for this type of showdown. Barrett holds the ideal combination of ruthless nature, English tenacity and unbridled ambition. Having never won a World Title, the Elimination Chamber could be the perfect opportunity for him to finally rise above.

SmackDown’s Elimination Chamber Match features not one, but two giants. The presence of Big Show and The Great Khali will make winning a tall task for anyone in their path. The World’s Largest Athlete will be looking to get his hands on Bryan, who ended his most recent World Title reign in a mere 90 seconds and has not let him forget it since. Khali, a replacement for the suspended Mark Henry, has his eyes set on becoming a two-time World Heavyweight Champion and will try to demolish anyone brave enough to attempt stopping him.

Cody Rhodes may have the most to gain in this match. The Intercontinental Champion has made it known that he intends on simultaneously adding the World Heavyweight Championship to his trophy case. This may be his best chance to accomplish that goal, though he is also competing in his first Elimination Chamber Match.
With the World Heavyweight Championship hanging in the balance, these WWE Superstars are sure to put it all on the line in this career-altering bout. The Road to WrestleMania runs through Elimination Chamber, live on pay-per-view, Feb. 19 at 8/7 CT.

I expect that Khali is replaced by Christian as I really do not see him in the match. Big Show will probably be shit in the match to but I expect the others to put on the show, yes even Orton. Expect Chad25's cock to explode into pieces if Cody wins.

Please God let Khlali get attacked before the match starts and replaced by someone else like Kofi was a few years ago by Edge. Hopefully by Christian but anyone would be better than the Punjabi sleeping pill.

Why is Khali even in the match I would've prefered they put a raw guy in to replace him Vickie Guerro could've used some kind of loophole to get Jack Swagger in the match and the commentators could've said that this is the first time that the IC and US champion are in the same chamber match.

Why's that big ass shit motherfucker Khali in the match? Just him in the picture throws me off, I hope Christian returns on the night and attacks Khali from behind during his entrance with a steel chair.

I hope either Rhodes or Barrett win.

Khali in the match does my head in. If anything I'd rather have Mahal take him out and be in the match, I see him as one with potential to be a serious future contender to the IC or WHC.

I'd wait Christian's return until after the Chamber where he can get himself in a feud however I'd much rather see him as a face.
