5 best Elimination Chamber matches in WWE history

#2. No Way Out 2008

MVP soon regrets his decision to scale a pod at the Elimination Chamber match in 2008.

The Elimination Chamber, held at No Way Out in 2008 featured a rarity for the match type. Rather than competing for the title itself, the six participants were competing for the right to challenge World Champion Edge.

Going into the pay-per-view, the biggest feud in WWE at the time was between the Undertaker and the Animal Batista. Unlike many of the Undertaker's opponents, Batista wasn't intimidated or overpowered by the Deadman, and their battle for supremacy had lasted for over a year.

Their rivalry would come to a head at the chamber match. After Great Khali and Big Daddy V were eliminated, Finlay entered the fray and, to his credit, took the fight right to Taker and Batista. Unfortunately, the strategy didn't pay off and he was eliminated.

MVP tried a different tactic. He attempted to avoid the two behemoths as they battled it out in the chamber. But when he attempted to climb a pod to escape the wrath of the Undertaker, he wound up being chokeslammed fifteen feet to the mat.

The Undertaker beat Batista with a wild counter into a Tombstone, one of the most fluid and amazing spots in chamber history. The Deadman thus won the right to challenge Edge, and ended his feud with Batista in one stroke.
