Elimination Chamber 2021:

At Elimination Chamber 2021, Drew McIntyre defended his WWE Championship inside the brutal structure, facing AJ Styles (with Omos), Jeff Hardy, Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton, and Sheamus. The match began with Hardy and Orton as the first two competitors.

McIntyre entered the match as the third entrant and recorded his first career elimination inside the Chamber by pinning Hardy. After Hardy was eliminated, Styles took out Sheamus, setting the stage for a final showdown with McIntyre. As Styles went for a Phenomenal Forearm, McIntyre intercepted him with a perfectly timed Claymore Kick, sealing the victory and retaining his title.

While McIntyre was celebrating his victory, Bobby Lashley appeared and attacked him with a vicious spear. Sensing an opportunity, The Miz rushed to the ring with his Money in the Bank briefcase and officially cashed in. As the referee called for the bell, Miz wasted no time, hitting McIntyre with a Skull Crushing Finale and securing the pinfall in just 30 seconds. With that, The Miz became the new WWE Champion.

Elimination Chamber 2024:

Drew McIntyre entered his third Elimination Chamber match in 2024 at Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia, competing for a chance to challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XL. He and LA Knight kicked off the match, while Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, Logan Paul, and Kevin Owens remained inside their respective pods.

The Scottish Psychopath dominated the match from the start by eliminating Bobby Lashley first, followed by LA Knight. Randy Orton then made his presence felt by taking out Kevin Owens before eliminating Logan Paul. That set the stage for a final showdown between Orton and McIntyre. Just as Orton looked to close in on victory, Paul got involved and attacked him with a brass knuckles blow. McIntyre seized the opportunity by successfully pinning Orton and punched his ticket to WrestleMania XL as a challenger for Rollins’ World Title.
