	The fifth match was a previously unannounced contest which saw The Miz defend his [[IWE United States Championship]] against Montel Vontavious Porter. The Miz was accompanied by his tag team partner, [[Marc Beltran\|The Big Show]], while Porter was accompanied by [[Steven Larson]], with whom he had regularly teamed. Porter took the advantage at the beginning of the match, before The Miz was able to fight back with a [[DDT#Swinging DDT\|swinging DDT]]. When he climbed to the top rope, however, Porter knocked him off to regain the advantage. The Big Show pulled The Miz out of the ring to safety, and then threw Steven Larson into the security barricade at ringside.

		+	The main event of the pay-per-view was the SmackDown Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship, featuring the defending champion The Undertaker, Justin Eldridge, Scott Wright, Khris Jericho, Joe Linderman, and B-Truth. Wright, Linderman, and Jericho entered first and were locked into pods. The Undertaker was the fourth to make his way down to the ring, but an accident occurred during his match when his pyrotechnics were mistimed, resulting in him being momentarily engulfed in flames. He was cleared by a ringside doctor to wrestle, however, and was able to compete in the match. The final two, who were to start the match, were Justin Eldridge, who was accompanied by his stable, The Straight-Edge Society of [[Kelsey Carter\|Kelsey]] and [[Justin Feight\|Luke Gallows]], and B-Truth. Eldridge cut a promo on his way to the ring, but was interrupted by B-Truth's entrance. Eldridge was able to eliminate B-Truth in about three-and-a-half minutes, before any other competitor had entered the match, and was able to finish his promo afterward. Wright entered after the first five minutes had passed, and eliminated Punk before the next competitor entered. The next entrant was revealed to be Jericho, and he and Wright wrestled for five minutes until Linderman was released. Linderman utilised his "Starship Pain" finisher (a [[Moonsault#Split-legged moonsault\|split-legged]] [[Moonsault#Corkscrew moonsault\|corkscrew moonsault]]) to pin Wright and eliminate him from the match. The final entrant into the match was the defending champion The Undertaker, who was able to eliminate Linderman following a chokeslam after approximately 28 minutes. [[Ryan Barnhart]], who had requested and been denied a match with The Undertaker for WrestleMania, snuck into the chamber, and performed his "Sweet Chin Music" [[Superkick\|superkick]] on The Undertaker. This allowed Jericho to pin The Undertaker to win the match and the World Heavyweight Championship for the third time.

		+	[[File:Elimination chamber nyr06.jpg\|thumb\|The Elimination Chamber pay-per-view featured two [[Elimination Chamber Match\|Elimination Chamber]] matches.]]
		+	In late 2009, [[International Wrestling Entertainment]] (IWE) held a poll on their official website to allow fans to choose a name for their February pay-per-view. The choices included Elimination Chamber, Heavy Metal, Battle Chamber, Chamber of Conflict and No Way Out, which had been the name of the [[IWE No Way Out\|preceding Elimination Chamber-based event]]. The name Elimination Chamber won, and the event was renamed. Despite this, the event was still promoted as No Way Out in Germany.
		+
		+	The concept of the show was that each main event match was to be contested as an [[Elimination Chamber Match\|Elimination Chamber]] match. The Elimination Chamber is a circular steel cage, consisting of chains and girders, that surrounds the ring. Four 'pods' are enclosed within the chamber, one behind each ring post, which are on a steel platform surrounding the outside of the ring. Six wrestlers compete in the match; four are enclosed within the pods and released at random at specific time intervals, and two start the match. Wrestlers can only be eliminated via pinfall and [[Submission\|submission]], and the last wrestler left is the winner. For the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, both IWE [[World Heavyweight Championship\|world championships]], the [[IWE Championship]] and the [[World Heavyweight Championship (IWE)\|World Heavyweight Championship]], were to be defended in separate Elimination Chamber matches.
		+
		+	Just prior to the commencement of the [[World Heavyweight Championship (IWE)\|World Heavyweight Championship]] Elimination Chamber match, [[Martin McAlmond\|The Undertaker]] was involved in a pyrotechnics accident during his ring entrance. He was temporarily engulfed in flames when the pyrotechnics were mistimed, and his jacket caught on fire. It was later reported that he'd suffered first- and second-degree burns to his neck and chest, and according to a IWE spokesperson the injury "looked like a bad sunburn". He was only allowed to participate in the match after being cleared by a ringside doctor and was given bottles of water throughout the match to douse himself with to attempt to alleviate the discomfort.

		+	Elimination Chamber featured professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from scripted feuds and storylines that had been seen on [[International Wrestling Entertainment]]'s television programs – ''[[IWE Raw\|Raw]]'' and ''[[IWE SmackDown\|SmackDown]]''. Wrestlers were portrayed as [[Heel\|villains]] or [[Heroes\|heroes]], or more [[Tweener\|ambiguous characters]] in scripted contests that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match on the pay-per-view. All wrestlers were from IWE's Raw and SmackDown brands—a [[IWE Brand Extension\|storyline division]] in which IWE employees are assigned to a television program of the same name.

		+	[[File:Undertaker with Fire.jpg\|thumb\|[[Martin McAlmond\|The Undertaker]] who defended his [[World Heavyweight Championship (IWE)\|World Heavyweight Championship]] in an [[Elimination Chamber Match\|Elimination Chamber]] match.]]
		+	The main event matches for the Elimination Chamber event consisted of two [[Elimination Chamber Match\|Elimination Chamber]] matches, with Raw's [[IWE Championship]] defended in one and SmackDown's [[World Heavyweight Championship (IWE)\|World Heavyweight Championship]] defended in the other. Qualifying matches were held on the February 1 episode of ''Raw'' to determine the five challengers who would face the IWE Champion [[Kevin Farrelly\|Sheamus]] in Raw's Elimination Chamber match. In qualifiers, [[Dustin Simpson]] defeated [[Mark Semmler]], [[Triple K]] defeated [[Charlie Wilson]], [[Kevin McAlmond]] defeated [[Ryan Barnhart]], [[Kyle Johnson, Jr.\|Kyle Johnson]] defeated [[Steven Larson]], and [[Jose Serrano]] defeated [[Marc Beltran\|The Big Show]] by [[Disqualification\|disqualification]]. In the weeks prior to Elimination Chamber the participants faced off in several matches, which included Johnson vs. Simpson ending in a [[No Contest\|no contest]], Sheamus defeating McAlmond by disqualification, Johnson defeated Serrano via pinfall, and Simpson vs. Triple K ending in a no contest due to Sheamus interfering and attacking both participants. The February 5 episode of ''SmackDown'' saw the five wrestlers qualify to challenge [[Martin McAlmond\|The Undertaker]] for the World Heavyweight Championship in a similar fashion. [[Joe Linderman]] defeated [[Dax Hoovestall]] and [[Glenn McAlmond\|Kane]] in a [[Basic Non-Elimination Matches\|triple threat match]]. Throughout the rest of the episode, this was followed by [[Blake Wheeler\|B-Truth]] defeating [[Alex Knox]], [[Justin Eldridge]] defeating [[Jesse Dern\|Batista]] via [[Countout\|countout]], [[Khris Jericho]] defeating [[Matt Hooper]], and [[Scott Wright, Jr.\|Scott Wright]] defeating [[Nick Kessler]]. In the following weeks, the six wrestlers faced off in different combinations in singles matches that saw Wright pin Eldridge, Linderman vs. B-Truth end in a no contest due to Linderman suffering a storyline ankle injury, and Jericho defeating The Undertaker. On the February 19 episode of ''SmackDown'', Linderman and B-Truth teamed up to face Justin Eldridge and his 'follower' [[Justin Feight\|Luke Gallows]] in a [[Tag Team Match\|tag team match]], which Linderman and B-truth lost via referee stoppage.
		+
		+	In late December 2009, [[IWE Divas Championship\|IWE Divas Champion]] [[Denise Lynn\|Denise]] tore her anterior cruciate ligament, and was forced to vacate the championship. As a result, it was announced in January 2010, that a single-elimination tournament would be held to determine a new champion. The tournament began on the January 4 episode of ''Raw'', when [[Riley Austin\|Riley]] advanced to the semi-finals by defeating [[The Gozelanski Twins\|Crystal Gozelasnki]]. She was followed into the semi-finals by [[Lauren Ireland]], [[Kassi Austin]], and [[Nicole Bergman]], who defeated [[Dixie Hooper]], [[Kelly Kelly]], and [[Winter\|Katie Lea Burchill]] respectively. In the semi-finals, Riley defeated Nicole and Ireland defeated Austin. It was then announced on the February 8 episode of ''Raw'' that Riley and Ireland would face one another in the final at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.
		+
		+	On the February 12 episode of ''Smackdown'', the [[IWE Intercontinental Championship\|IWE Intercontinental Champion]] [[Dax Hoovestall]] faced [[Glenn McAlmond\|Kane]] in a non-title match. After the match went to a double-countout, Kane chokeslammed Hoovestall. It was announced the following day on IWE's official website that Kane and Hoovestall would meet at Elimination Chamber for the Intercontinental Championship. The following week, on the February 19 episode of ''SmackDown'', Kane defeated Nick Kessler in a singles match. Following the match, he was attacked by Hoovestall, but Kane was able to fight back and fend off the attack.

		+	The first match that aired on the pay-per-view was the Raw Elimination Chamber match, which involved Kevin McAlmond, Triple K, Kyle Johnson, Jose Serrano, Dustin Simpson and the defending IWE Champion Champion Sheamus. Sheamus and Serrano started the match, while the other four competitors were locked inside [[Elimination Chamber Match#Match rules\|'pods']]. One pod at a time opened during the match at intervals of five minutes, releasing a wrestler into the match. Triple K was the first wrestler released, followed by Randy Orton, Kyle Johnson, and finally Simpson. After Simpson entered the match, Mark Semmler, an ally of both Johnson and McAlmond went to ringside, and threw a steel pipe into the cage. Johnson used the pipe to hit both McAlmond and Simpson, and then covered McAlmond to eliminate him from the match after approximately 24 minutes. Serrano used his finishing move, "Trouble in Paradise" (a 540 kick) to eliminate Johnson after 25-and-a-half minutes. Immediately afterward, Sheamus eliminated Serrano by pinfall, before being eliminated himself by Triple K at approximately 29 minutes, leaving only Simpson and Triple K in the match. Simpson used a submission hold, the STF on Triple K to eliminate him from the match via [[Submission\|submission]]. As a result, Simpson won the IWE Championship for the sixth time, his eight [[World Heavyweight Championship\|world championship]] overall.
