The Kickoff Show is over, and there was an incredible Cruiserweight Championship match during the preshow, and you can see the results of it below. Now, it’s onto the main card where we will see two Elimination Chamber matches during this WWE PPV.
One of the most insane structures ever devised by WWE is coming to the Elimination Chamber PPV today. WWE’s latest event has seven matches on the card–five of which are title matches–and two of them will take place in the Elimination Chamber.
The show will air on the WWE Network and on PPV, taking place at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The main card begins at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET / 12 AM GMT (February 18), with a Kickoff Show starting one hour prior.
The Elimination Chamber is a giant metal structure placed around a WWE ring. Inside this monstrosity, there are four plexiglass pods. Six wrestlers enter the structure–four of which go into individual pods. Two wrestlers begin battle inside the ring, and one-by-one, wrestlers are released from their pods. The WWE superstars get eliminated until only one remains. In most cases, the last person standing becomes champion, and they rule Bartertown.
The biggest thing to look forward to this evening is the crowning of the first-ever Women’s Tag Team Champions. Who will win? Will it be the brute “Blaster” force of Tamina and Nia Jax, the cunning “Auntie Entity” strategy of the Iiconics, or will it be our “Max Rockatansky,” Sasha Banks and Bayley? We have a few predictions for this and all the matches taking place this evening. Additionally, there will be one more EC match for the WWE Championship, featuring six competitors from Smackdown.
Below, you’ll find up-to-the-minute updates and results for all the matches taking place this evening. After the show is over, make sure to come back to GameSpot for our review of the show.
