5 best Elimination Chamber matches in WWE history

#4. Elimination Chamber 2018: Women's match.

WWE's first-ever women's Elimination Chamber match did not disappoint.

Once the Women's Evolution in WWE hit full swing, matches featuring female superstars went from being a sideshow for titillation to being full-fledged sports entertainment contests.

But many fans wondered why the WWE had yet to include an all-women Elimination Chamber match on one of their cards. The time seemed ripe for such an expansion, and WWE finally gave the women their chance at the 2018 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.

The match turned out to be nothing short of brilliant thanks to both the fantastic booking and the athletic ability of the women involved, in particular, Bayley, Sasha Banks, and Alexa Bliss.

WWE was also building toward a women's tag team division, so two full-time teams were competing in the chamber. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville represented Absolution, while Frenemies Bayley and Sasha Banks were set to oppose them.

Rounding out the chamber was Alexa Bliss and sometime ally, Micky James. Bliss sought to get James on her side to have an ally in the match as well, but her plans went awry when the veteran wrestler was eliminated early.

Absolution and the Frenemies turned the match into a mini War Games for a time, until the veteran team of Bayley and Sasha prevailed. Then it looked like all hope was lost for Alexa Bliss to retain her title.

But Sasha turned on her ally Bayley, and the treachery enabled a battered but determined Bliss to win the first-ever Women's Elimination Chamber match in dramatic fashion.
