Inside the unforgiving structure, John Cena defended his WWE Championship against Dean Ambrose, The Miz, Bray Wyatt, AJ Styles and Baron Corbin. The winner cashed his ticket to WrestleMania 33 and a spot in the main event against 2017 Royal Rumble winner Randy Orton. WWE champion John Cena and AJ Styles continued their epic rivalry at the onset of the Elimination Chamber bout, wrestling what was essentially a superb five-minute match until the others entered the ring.
With WWE you can always expect the unexpected as the last three members surviving were two former Champions and Bray Wyatt who had been booked badly at every major PPV. A high cross body block had Cena thriving until Wyatt delivered Sister Abigail and pinned the franchise star, eliciting the biggest pop of the night. Styles attempted another springboard attempt and Styles landed in the waiting arms of Wyatt, who delivered Sister Abigail and realized his dream of becoming WWE champion.

WWE ensured Wyatt's first title win was no fluke, allowing him to hit his Sister Abagail finisher on both John Cena and AJ Styles, pinning the men consecutively on his way to victory. There was no interference in the match as some expected, and Wyatt was build to look as strong as ever by winning the championship legitimately over the last two men to hold the belt.
