Welcome to WWE No Way Out. The Road to Wrestlemania will make its penultimate stop right here in Seattle, at the Keys Arena to be precise. There is no doubt that the Wrestlemania card will start being etched tonight. Will Championships change hands? Will HBK lose his livelihood or will he retain his dignity? Will Jack Swagger remain the face of ECW? And will Shane McMahon avenge his father at the expense of Randy Orton? Let’s find out...
A haunting video package starts our PPV tonight. Shane McMahon and Orton seem to be hogging the limelight until a segway into HBK and JBL’s excellent mic work and interaction thus far. The stipulation is laid down for us to remember. HBK has everything to lose...maybe even his dignity in front of his wife. Saliva kicks in (the theme song, not the drool) and we are shown highlights of the previous elimination chambers. Such a vicious structure in which Triple H has won six. Are the odds clearly in his favour?
Huge pyro starts us off. WWE is in HD (but not in the U.K) as Jim Ross introduces us to the show. Undertaker’s music starts us off as we are introduced to the Deadman. The Smackdown chamber is shockingly, up first! As Undertaker makes his way to the ring the PPV viewers (and spectating audience) seem shocked that the most bolstered match of the evening is the first. His entrance is eerie still but Undertaker takes his place in a pod and awaits his opponents. Big Show is out next. Jim Ross and Tazz run down the rules of the Elimination Chamber, that at five minute intervals, a new person is introduced to the match. Big Show eyeballs Undertaker as he climbs into the pod next to Taker. Vladimir Kozlov is out next. The crowd boo him. WWE CD plug right here! Kozlov approaches Taker, then Show in their respective pods before taking his place opposite Big Show.
It is time to play the Game!!!!! Triple H is out fourth. That means we have Edge and Jeff Hardy to start this match off. That is a heck of an opening contest. Triple H does his infamous water spitting before taking his place in the chamber pod. He climbs the turnbuckle opposite Big Show and spits water on him through the chains. Nice mind games there! Big Show looks pissed. Jeff Hardy, the former champion is out next sans the face paint or pyro glitches. Hardy gets a huge pop as he enters his second Elimination Chamber in a year. And what a way to stake your claim...against the WWE Champion! Finally we have Edge coming to the ring. Edge looks a little afraid to be honest. Jim Ross and Tazz sound psyched to call this contest. And in all fairness it is possibly the best match of the night.
