5 WWE Superstars who created popular gimmick matches: Who invented the Elimination Chamber and MITB matches?

#3 Triple H created the Elimination Chamber match

Triple H

At Survivor Series 2002, WWE presented an Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight title. This match was created by Eric Bischoff in kayfabe, but it was WWE EVP Triple H who came up with the idea behind the scenes. Triple H revealed the same in an interview with WWE's official website.

I'm the one who invented it. I drew a square cage and put four other squares in the corners, and I said, 'It's six guys. Two start and every few minutes, another cage opens and one more guy enters the fight, and everyone fights until there's one guy left.' I thought it could be interesting because, if the Superstars involved have issues, then there's intrigue.

The first Elimination Chamber match at WWE Survivor Series 2002 was a big hit

The very-first Elimination Chamber match saw Triple H defending his World title against Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam, Kane, and Booker T. Shawn Michaels won the first Elimination Chamber match to become the World Heavyweight Champion. The WWE Universe loved the concept, and the match would go on to become a mainstay in the company.
