Todd Grisham is in the back with Chris Jericho who says he’s going to win the Elimination Chamber match, become the World Champion, and then challenge Ric Flair to come out of retirement and face him for the title at WrestleMania. He then says he’s not going to do that because he doesn’t want to waste his time on a charity case. However, he does say he is going to win the title tonight and repeat as “Superstar of the Year” in 2009.
World Heavyweight Championship – Elimination Chamber Match
John Cena enters first. He will placed in one of the glass cages and will not be starting the match. Mike Knox enters next, followed by Kane. Kofi Kingston then begins to enter the ring, but is attacked by Edge! Edge takes a chair and bashes Kofi in the head as he was down on the steel steps. Edge then places himself into one of the glass cages and is going to enter the match!
Rey Mysterio comes to help out Kofi. He tries to attack Edge, but the cage door locks behind Edge. Chris Jericho finally comes out and it looks like it’s official: Edge has entered the match! The bell sounds and we are underway starting with Rey Mysterio and Chris Jericho.
Jericho starts off with momentum, but Rey reverses an irish whip and monkey flips Jericho across the ring. He then does a flip over the ropes landing on Jericho onto the caged floor on the outside of the ring. They reenter the ring and Mysterio sends Jericho flying into a corner. He charges with a headbutt, but Jericho moves out of the way and Rey nails one of the glass cages headfirst. Jericho with a cover, but just a two-count.
Rey is sent over the top rope to the outside and Jericho follows. Rey climbs the side of the cage to the very top, hangs from the top of the cage and nails a Hurricanrana. Very sweet move! The two go back into the ring and Rey covers, but Jericho kicks out.
Clock counts down and Kane has been released into the match!
He takes both men down and then goes to Edge’s glass cage and stares him down. Jericho tries to take advantage by jumping on Kane’s back, but he’s flipped over onto his back. Kane delivers some punches and kicks to Jericho in the corner before going back to work on Rey. Two-count as Kane tries covering Rey after a dropkick while Rey was sitting on the mat.
Jericho then tries to get the offense back on Kane, but Kane delivers a clothesline and sends Jericho back to the outside on the steel floor. As Kane goes back inside the ring, Rey meets him with kicks and punches. Kane rolls partly to the outside and Rey nails a baseball slide. Rey and Kane go back into the ring and Rey reverses a sidewalk slam. Jericho then enters the ring and attempts the Lionsault, but Kane moves out of the way. Rey hits the 619 on Kane and the Codebreaker. Rey then goes to the top of one of the glass cages, leaps off with a buttsplash and covers Kane for a three-count.
Kane has been eliminated!
Clock starts again and Mike Knox is chosen to enter. He goes straight after Rey, of course, but holds nothing back for Jericho either as he nails him with a huge boot to the face. Knox bodyslams Jericho and lands a huge knee to his chest, goes for the cover, but a kickout.
Knox goes back to work on Rey, until Jericho gets involved and tosses Knox over the top rope to the outside. Jericho then leaps to the outside but is caught in mid-air by Knox and is rammed into the steel chain siding…twice. Rey jumps on Knox’s back, but is flipped into the cage side and Knox puts his foot in one of the cage squares, suspending Rey upside down on the side of the cage. He delivers a few kicks before Rey finally falls to the steel ground.
Knox throws Jericho back into the ring and he and Rey soon follow. A huge backbreaker is delivered by Knox on Rey and out of nowhere, Jericho lands a huge Codebreaker on Knox. A cover and a three-count!
Mike Knox is eliminated!
We are down to two, but quickly the clock winds down from ten and the next man to enter is: EDGE!
Before Edge can get out of the cage, Rey attacks him and slams him multiple times into the glass. They then go into the ring and Rey flies off the ropes, but Jericho meets him in mid-stride with a huge clothesline. Edge takes a breather while Jericho handles Rey, but Edge finally attacks Jericho. However, Jericho lands a bulldog on Edge and goes back to work on Rey.
Edge slams Jericho from behind, covers and gets a two-count. Edge then slings Rey into one corner and sets up for the Spear. Rey jumps over it though and Jericho attempts a Codebreaker on Edge. Edge hangs on to the top rope though and Jericho misses. Rey then attempts a 619 on Edge, but again, is cut off by Jericho with a shoulder tackle. Rey and Jericho both go to the top turnbuckle battling back and forth until Edge goes up after them. Jericho delivers a Sunset Flip and all three go crashing down!
Edge is the first to his feet and tosses Jericho over the top rope making him land flat on his back. The clock counts down again and here comes John Cena! He immediately charges Edge, lands two shoulder blocks and a clothesline. A fisherman suplex to Jericho and a bulldog delivered to Edge. He then does the Five Knuckle Shuffle on Edge, but as he goes for the FU (or whatever it’s called nowadays), Jericho delivers a Codebreaker! 619 by Rey on Cena and then a Spear by Edge.
The cover and a three count – Cena is eliminated!!!!!
We are destined to have a new Champion and Rey takes the offense quickly. He attempts a double 619 on both Edge and Jericho, but Edge gets out of the way and he only nails Jericho. As he tries a splash from the top rope, Jericho reverses and tries for the Lion Tamer, but Rey counters into a pin and gets the three-count!
Jericho has been eliminated!
Rey gets to his feet, Edge attempts a spear, but Rey moves, rolls him up and gets a TWO COUNT!
Rey delivers a big crossbody splash off the second rope, but again only gets a two-count. The two men rise to their feet, Edge tries a sunset flip for a pin, but Rey reverses and kicks Edge in the head. Another nearfall! The crowd is going crazy for Mysterio right now!

Rey goes to the top rope, but out of nowhere, Edge connects with a kick sending Rey crashing to the outside. They are both on the outside.
