The Elimination Chamber match is one of the most grueling the WWE has to offer.
The monstrous chain-linked structure weighs 10 tons and contains two miles of chain and goes over the entire ring area. Two competitors begin in the ring with four others inside pods in each corner of the facility. Every 5 minutes, a new competitor enters the ring. The match is single elimination and the last one standing is the winner.

Randy Orton will be one of six wrestlers competing for a shot at Seth Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship. He’s up against Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, LA Knight, Kevin Owens and Logan Paul.
When Orton gets into the Chamber this weekend, it will be the ninth time in his career. It will be the most in WWE history. He shared some insight on what being in the match is actually like.
"It’s a very unforgiving structure to say the least," he told Fox News Digital. "I mean, there’s no give. They’ve made a couple alterations over the years, but … putting some stiff a-- mats here and there or coating the bolts on the side of the ring, I mean, they’re still going to cut through skin. Like the chain is still chain-link that don’t give. When your face is getting smashed against it, it hurts."
