The Elimination Chamber match is one of the toughest matches WWE has to offer.
This giant chained structure weighs 10 tons and includes two miles of chain, covering the entire ring area. Two competitors start in the ring, and the other four are in pods in each corner of the facility. A new contestant enters the ring every five minutes. The match is single-elimination, and the last person standing is the winner.

Randy Orton will be one of six wrestlers to compete for Seth Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship. He will face Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, LA Knight, Kevin Owens, and Logan Paul.
Orton will enter the chamber this weekend for the ninth time in his career. This is the most in WWE history. He shared some insight into what it’s really like to be in the game.
“This is a very unforgiving structure, to say the least,” he told Fox News Digital. “I mean, there’s no concessions. They’ve made some changes over the years, but… putting hard mats here and there, coating the bolts on the side of the ring, I mean, they I’m still doing it.”

Orton added that waiting in the pod to get into the ring wasn’t exactly a walk in the park.
“If you’re claustrophobic, being stuck in that pod isn’t fun,” he said. “Before, he had four pods with chain links, but now he’s done up like an aquarium with plexiglass. We’re going to Australia right now, where it’s like 100 degrees. It’s a tough match.
“When I hear, ‘Oh, you’re in the Elimination Chamber match,’ or, ‘I’m eligible for Elimination Chamber,’ I feel like I’m not very happy about it. Most likely to hurt or destroy your heart. “My body hurt more in that match than any other match in WWE. It was a tough night. After all that was said and done, it was because I survived it. It’s true that you get high naturally.”
