Elimination Chamber (2020)

Elimination Chamber (also known as No Escape in Germany[2])

Elimination Chamber
was a professional wrestling pay-per-view and WWE Network event
produced by WWE for their Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.
It took place on March 8, 2020 at the Wells Fargo Center in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[3] It was the tenth event under the
Elimination Chamber chronology.

Eight matches were contested at the event, including one on the

Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, NXT's Shayna Baszler won
Raw's women's Elimination Chamber match to become the number
one contender against Becky Lynch for the Raw Women's
Championship at WrestleMania 36. On the undercard, Aleister Black
defeated AJ Styles in a no disqualification match, Sami Zayn,
Shinsuke Nakamura, and Cesaro defeated Braun Strowman in a 3-
on-1 handicap match, with Zayn pinning Strowman to win the WWE
Intercontinental Championship, and The Miz and John Morrison
retained the SmackDown Tag Team Championship in SmackDown's
tag team Elimination Chamber match. This was also the first
Elimination Chamber event with no world title matches contested on
the card.

Elimination Chamber would also end up being the last pay-per-view

as of May 2020 to have appeared in front of a live crowd, as due to
the COVID-19 pandemic, the promotion moved the majority of its
shows to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida with no
fans in attendance. Promotional poster featuring Sarah

Production

Background

Elimination Chamber is a gimmick pay-per-view first produced by WWE in 2010. It has been produced
every year since except in 2016, and is generally held in February; the 2020 event was the second to not
occur in February, but the first to be done in March. The concept of the show is that one or two main event
matches are contested inside the Elimination Chamber, either with championships or future opportunities at
championships at stake.[4] 2020 was the tenth event under the Elimination Chamber chronology and
featured wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brands.[3]

Since 2011, the show has been promoted as "No Escape" in Germany as it was feared that the name
"Elimination Chamber" may remind people of the gas chambers used during the Holocaust.[2][5]

Storylines

The show comprised eight matches, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. The matches resulted from
scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted
events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results were
predetermined by WWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands,[6][7] while storylines were produced
on WWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.[8]

On February 17, a Raw-branded women's Elimination Chamber match was scheduled for the event to
determine the number one contender against Becky Lynch for the Raw Women's Championship at
WrestleMania 36.[9] Announced for the match were Natalya, Liv Morgan, Asuka, Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan,
and NXT's Shayna Baszler, who reignited her feud with Lynch from Survivor Series by ambushing her on
the previous week's episode of Raw.[10][9]

On the January 31 episode of SmackDown, Braun Strowman defeated Shinsuke Nakamura (with Sami Zayn
and Cesaro in his corner) to win the Intercontinental Championship.[11] On the February 28 episode, a
contract signing for a title match at Elimination Chamber was held. Tired of hearing Zayn's rants, Strowman
signed the contract, stating that regardless of who else signed it, he knew he would basically be facing all
three at the event. Zayn seized the opportunity and he, Nakamura, and Cesaro all signed the contract,
making it a 3-on-1 handicap match for Strowman's Intercontinental Championship at the event.[12]

At Super ShowDown, The Miz and John Morrison defeated The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) to
capture the SmackDown Tag Team Championship.[13] The following night on SmackDown, it was
announced that Miz and Morrison would defend the title in a tag team Elimination Chamber match at the
event. The challengers announced for the match were The New Day (Big E and Kingston), The Usos (Jey
Uso and Jimmy Uso), Heavy Machinery (Otis and Tucker), Lucha House Party (Gran Metalik and Lince
Dorado), and Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode.[12] The following week, Ziggler and Roode won a tag team
gauntlet match to enter the chamber last.[14]

At Super ShowDown, Seth Rollins and Murphy retained the Raw Tag Team Championship against The
Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford).[13] On the following Raw, The Street Profits were given
one final opportunity where they defeated Rollins and Murphy to win the title. Later backstage, Rollins and
Murphy challenged The Street Profits to a rematch for the title at Elimination Chamber, which was made
official.[15]

On the February 24 episode of Raw, The O.C. (AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson) attacked
Aleister Black backstage.[16] Black then challenged Styles to a match for the following week, however,
Styles said that Black would have to defeat Gallows and Anderson before he could face Styles. Black
defeated both Gallows and Anderson in separate matches, after which, Styles faced and defeated Black. A
no disqualification rematch between Black and Styles was then scheduled for Elimination Chamber.[15]

On the Royal Rumble Kickoff pre-show, Andrade (accompanied by Zelina Vega) retained the United States
Championship against Humberto Carrillo.[17] Carrillo then won a rematch on the following Raw by
disqualification due to Vega's interference. Following the match, Carrillo performed a Hammerlock DDT on
Andrade onto the exposed concrete, just as Andrade had previously done to Carrillo back in December.[18]
With Andrade absent over the next month,[19] Vega brought up her new associate, Angel Garza from NXT,
Carrillo's real life cousin. The two then feuded where Garza defeated Carrillo at Super ShowDown.[13] On
the March 2 episode of Raw, Carrillo teamed with Rey Mysterio to face Andrade and Garza, where Carrillo
pinned Andrade. This earned Carrillo another United States Championship match against Andrade at
Elimination Chamber.[15]

Backstage during the February 21 episode of SmackDown, Daniel Bryan was approached by Drew Gulak,
who claimed to know all of Bryan's weaknesses.[20] On the March 6 episode, Bryan challenged Gulak to a
match at Elimination Chamber, which was later made official for the event.[14]

Event

Pre-show

During the Elimination Chamber Kickoff pre-show, The Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar) faced Curt Hawkins
and Zack Ryder. The end saw The Viking Raiders perform the Viking Experience on Ryder, and Ivar pinned
him to win the match.[21]

Preliminary matches

The actual pay-per-view opened with Daniel Bryan facing Drew Gulak. In the end, Bryan applied the Yes
Lock on Gulak, who passed out, thus winning the match by technical submission.[1]

Next, Andrade (accompanied by Zelina Vega) defended the United States Championship against Humberto
Carrillo. During the match, Vega removed the floor padding to expose the concrete and Andrade attempted
to perform a Hammerlock DDT on Carrillo onto the concrete, however, Carrillo countered and performed a
suplex on Andrade. In the end, after exchanging roll-ups, Andrade pinned Carrillo, while holding his tights,
to retain the title.[1]

After that, The Miz and John Morrison defended the SmackDown Tag Team Championship in
SmackDown's tag team Elimination Chamber match. The challengers were The New Day (Big E and Kofi
Kingston), The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso), Heavy Machinery (Otis and Tucker), Lucha House Party
(Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik), and Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode. The Usos and The New Day started
the match. Lucha House Party entered third, followed by Miz and Morrison, and then Heavy Machinery.
Lucha House Party were eliminated by Heavy Machinery after they performed the Compactor on Dorado.
Due to winning the gauntlet match on the previous episode of SmackDown, Ziggler & Roode entered last.
They began to target Heavy Machinery, specifically Otis, who attempted to perform a clothesline on Ziggler,
who was inside a pod; however, Ziggler avoided
Other on-screen personnel
Otis, who obliterated the pod and ended up outside
the chamber. Tucker tried taking on Ziggler & Role: Name:
Roode himself, but was overpowered and Roode Michael Cole (SmackDown)
performed a Glorious DDT on Tucker to eliminate
Heavy Machinery. Big E then performed a Big Corey Graves (SmackDown)
Ending on Roode, followed by double splashes English commentators Tom Phillips (Raw)
from The Usos on both Ziggler and Roode to
Jerry Lawler (Raw)
eliminate them. Then Miz and Morrison pinned
Kingston to eliminate The New Day. In the climax, Byron Saxton (Raw)
after exchanging roll-ups, Miz and Morrison Carlos Cabrera
pinned Jimmy, with Morrison pinning Jimmy with Spanish commentators
a roll-up and Miz's legs on the rope to retain the Marcelo Rodríguez
title.[1] Carsten Schaefer

In the fourth match, Aleister Black faced AJ Styles German commentators Tim Haber
(accompanied by Luke Gallows and Karl Calvin Knie
Anderson) in a no disqualification match. In the
closing moments, as Black attempted a Black Mass Greg Hamilton (SmackDown)
Ring announcers
on Styles, Gallows and Anderson interfered, Mike Rome (Raw)
though Black fought them off. The three eventually
Danilo Anfibio
ambushed Black. As Gallows and Anderson held
Black in position for Styles to perform a Jason Ayers
Phenomenal Forearm, The Undertaker's gong Shawn Bennett
sounded and the lights went out. When they
illuminated, Undertaker was choking Gallows and John Cone
Referees
Anderson. Styles then attempted the Phenomenal Darrick Moore
Forearm on Undertaker, who caught Styles and
Eddie Orengo
performed a Chokeslam on him. The lights then
went out again with Undertaker vanishing after Chad Patton
they returned. Black then performed a Black Mass Charles Robinson
on Styles to win the match.[1]
Charly Caruso
Next, The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Interviewers Kayla Braxton
Montez Ford) defended the Raw Tag Team
Championship against Seth Rollins and Murphy Sarah Schreiber
(accompanied by Akam and Rezar). In the end, Jonathan Coachman
Kevin Owens appeared in the crowd and walked
ringside eating popcorn, distracting Rollins which Charly Caruso
Pre-show panel
allowed The Street Profits to momentarily take out David Otunga
Rollins. Ford then performed a Splash on Murphy
Peter Rosenberg
to retain the title. Following the match, Owens
performed a Stunner on Rollins.[1]

In the penultimate match, Braun Strowman defended the Intercontinental Championship against Sami Zayn,
Shinsuke Nakamura, and Cesaro in a 3-on-1 handicap match. During the match, Nakamura and Cesaro
subdued Strowman, allowing Zayn to tag himself in and attack Strowman; however, every time Strowman
rose to his feet, Zayn retreated. In the closing moments, Nakamura and Cesaro held Strowman in place,
allowing Zayn to perform a Helluva Kick on Strowman to win the title. Since Zayn pinned Strowman, he
won the Intercontinental Championship, which was his first title since his move from NXT in 2016 and his
first title win since NXT TakeOver: R Evolution in 2014.[1]
Main event

The main event was Raw's women's Elimination Chamber match between Natalya, Liv Morgan, Asuka,
Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan, and NXT's Shayna Baszler in which the winner earned a Raw Women's
Championship match against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 36. Natalya and Riott started the match,
followed by Logan as the third entrant. Baszler entered fourth and dominated her opponents, eliminating
Logan, Riott, and Natalya each with the Kirifuda Clutch submission. As Morgan entered fifth, Baszler
slammed her against the cage and the chamber pod, after which, Baszler also eliminated Morgan with the
Kirifuda Clutch while taunting Asuka, who entered last. After Baszler and Asuka went back-and-forth in an
attempt to apply their respective submission holds, Baszler applied the Kirifuda Clutch on Asuka, who
passed out, thus eliminating Asuka to win the match and earning the Raw Women's Championship match
against Lynch at WrestleMania. With this win, Baszler became the first Elimination Chamber match winner
to single-handedly eliminate all other opponents, as well as tie the record for most eliminations in a single
match at five (previously set by Braun Strowman in the 7-man Elimination Chamber match at the 2018
event).[1]

Reception
The event received a generally positive response, with many of the matches praised for their storytelling and
match quality.

The opening match between Drew Gulak and Daniel Bryan was highly praised. Brian Mazique of Forbes
gave the match a perfect A+ rating, the highest of the night, stating that "from a technical standpoint, it had
just about everything you could ask. The transitions, sells and move diversity were off the charts. Both
Bryan and Gulak brought their personalities to the ring, and the chemistry between the two was apparent.
Both men had their moments to shine, but Bryan rightfully got the victory in a match that showcased the two
performers well. This was by far the match of the night."[22] Chris Mueller of Bleacher Report gave the
match an A rating (the highest rating of the night, shared with Andrade vs. Carrillo), stating: "These are two
of the best technicians in WWE today, and this was exactly the kind of fight you would expect them to
have", and hoped that the match was only "the first of many encounters between these two."[23] Pro
Wrestling Torch gave a rating of 3.5/5, calling it an "excellent mat-based match. Really compelling start to
finish, even with a more deliberate pace than usual for the WWE style. Not crazy about those bumps Bryan
takes on the back of his head, though."[24] Elton Jones of Heavy also gave it a 3.5/5 rating, claiming that
"Drew Gulak shined brightly here. I knew going into this dream match that this was meant to be a breakout
moment for Drew and Daniel Bryan did everything in his power to help him reach that lofty goal. [...] This
match was decidedly good, but it needed 10 more minutes to truly reach the level of great. Maybe we’ll get
that extended time request in their rematch at some point. Even still, Drew came out looking better than ever
thanks to Daniel’s unselfish efforts."[25]

Andrade vs. Carrillo was also praised, although most reviewers criticized its booking, pointing out that
Carrillo's repeated losses against Andrade hurt the feud's credibility. Forbes gave it a B- rating, calling it
"well-wrestled" but stating: "Why has Carrillo been given this opportunity to repeatedly challenge Andrade
if he’s never going to go over? That’s not to say Andrade shouldn't still be the U.S. Champion, but at this
point, all of the matches in this program are beginning to look the same. Both men are strong workers with
great athleticism, but it’s time for a new feud."[22] Heavy gave it a 3.5/5 rating, stating that while the match
was good, seeing Carrillo lose to Andrade again made it "disappointing".[25] Conversely, Bleacher Report
praised the feud, stating "It almost seems impossible for Andrade and Carrillo to have a bad match. Every
encounter has been better than the last and this was no exception." He gave the match an A rating.[23]
The tag team Elimination Chamber match was praised for its performances, storytelling, pacing and
memorable spots. Bleacher Report gave it a A- rating, stating "The more people you add to a match, the
harder it is to keep track of everything. Even when it got up to 10 Superstars in the chamber at once, they
did a great job making sure we could follow the action. [...] This won't go down as the best Chamber match
in history, but it had a lot of fun moments and told multiple stories at the same time. It kept the momentum
going for what was already a great show.[23] Forbes gave the match a B+ rating, stating that "the performers
made it look about as good as possible. Also, the Otis, Dolph and Mandy Rose element added some
additional layers that helped increase the enjoyment." However, he pointed out that the result was
predictable and took some of the tension away.[22] Heavy rated the match 4/5, calling it "great" and praising
its storytelling and performances, in particular from Lucha House Party; they later named it match of the
night.[25]

Styles vs. Black was praised for its physicality and the two's performances, as well as for its booking.
Bleacher Report gave it a B+ rating, stating: "Black and Styles worked well together and Taker's
involvement was a nice surprise. The Deadman and Styles appear to be heading toward a match at
WrestleMania, but for now, Black picked up a big win to give him some momentum."[23] Forbes gave the
match a C+ rating, calling it "fairly entertaining, but I wish it hadn’t been forced into place amidst the
obvious setup for Styles vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania 36. [...] Quite honestly, a Styles-Black feud
would be so much more interesting, and we saw evidence of that on Sunday in this match."[22] Heavy rated
the match 3.5/5, stating that "This match truly came to life once the action headed to the outside – we got a
pretty sick table spot to boot. Everyone in the arena knew The Undertaker was coming out at some point,
which thankfully happened once The O.C. jumped all over Aleister. His fun run-in and that nasty Black
Mass Aleister delivered to AJ to finish off this bout was pretty cool to watch unfold."[25]

The women's Elimination Chamber match received mixed reviews. Bleacher Report gave the women's
elimination chamber match a B- rating."[23] Brent Brookhouse of CBS Sports gave the match a B+ rating,
stating: "If the intention of the Elimination Chamber was to establish Baszler as a threat to Becky Lynch's
Raw women's title reign, this match cleared that bar by a mile. It may not go down as the most memorable
or action-packed Chamber match in WWE history, but in telling the story of the new force in town, it was
effective."[26] Forbes gave the match a B rating, stating: "It was a performance that was about as dominant
as you’ll ever see in the EC, and it showed how much WWE believes in Baszler as a supervillain."[22] Wade
Killer of Pro Wrestling Torch called the women's Elimination Chambers "the least entertaining match of the
night" and stated that "it took away a lot of whatever benefit Baszler got for dominating like that."[24] Heavy
gave the match a low rating of 1/5, calling the match predictable, stating that "It started off with some
uninspired action, didn’t get any more interesting once Shayna started tearing through a bunch of jobbers
and even resulted in a disappointing first time meeting between Shayna and Asuka. This completely shit the
bed and has severely hampered Shayna and her hype heading into ‘Mania 36 against Becky Lynch."[25]

Aftermath
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, WWE moved many of their upcoming shows, including WrestleMania 36,
to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida with no fans in attendance. This began with the March
13 episodes of SmackDown and 205 Live. The WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony was also postponed.[27][28]
NXT TakeOver: Tampa Bay had also been postponed, but was eventually canceled; matches scheduled and
planned for the event were moved to episodes of NXT, beginning April 1.[29] From March 21–26, WWE
pre-taped several episodes of their weekly programs for future broadcasts, including WrestleMania (which
was taped on March 25 and 26 and then aired on April 4 and 5).[30]

Raw
For costing him his match against Aleister Black, AJ Styles taunted The Undertaker on the following night's
episode of Raw by bringing up his wife Michelle McCool, blaming her for why Undertaker keeps coming
back to wrestle. Styles then challenged Undertaker to a match at WrestleMania 36.[31] A contract signing for
the match was conducted the following week.[32] Styles then challenged Undertaker to a Boneyard
match.[33]

Also on the following Raw, Seth Rollins challenged Kevin Owens to a match.[31] Owens accepted the match
at WrestleMania 36.[32]

SmackDown

Dolph Ziggler continued to taunt Otis over his relationship with Mandy Rose. On the March 20 episode of
SmackDown, Ziggler cost Heavy Machinery (Otis and Tucker) another opportunity at the SmackDown Tag
Team Championship.[34] Ziggler then challenged Otis to a match at WrestleMania 36 and Otis accepted.[35]

On the March 27 episode of SmackDown, The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) faced The Usos (Jey
Uso and Jimmy Uso) to determine the number one contenders to The Miz and John Morrison for the
SmackDown Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 36 only for the match to end in a no-contest when
Miz and Morrison attacked both teams. Miz and Morrison were then scheduled to defend the title against
The New Day and The Usos at WrestleMania 36 in a triple threat ladder match, though because The Miz
was injured, one member of each team competed in the match.[35]

Daniel Bryan and Drew Gulak formed an alliance out of mutual respect for each other. New Intercontinental
Champion Sami Zayn took offense, as Zayn had previously offered Bryan to join his faction, which Bryan
initially declined. Bryan then challenged Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 36
and Zayn accepted if Gulak could defeat his teammate, Shinsuke Nakamura. Gulak defeated Nakamura on
the March 27 episode of SmackDown to secure the title match for Bryan.[35]
