Backstage

Elimination Chamber: Edge vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Kane vs. Wade Barrett vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Big Show
Teddy Long introduces Big Show as the replacemement for Dolph Ziggler who had been fired. Each of the contestants make their way to the ring as their music blares through the speakers and they make their way down the ramp and into the ring. The match is formally announced, bell rings, and the match is underway. Edge and Mysterio start the match off with the other contestants inside the pods. At the announcer table Booker says everyone knows the odds are against Edge in this match, but continues by adding that Edge has been in these situations before and should be able to handle himself. Mysterio backdrops over the ropes, landing on the steel grating. The crowd starts to count down with the clock as the overhead ligh show leads Wade Barrett into the match next. After much back and forth on one another, both Mysterio and Edge look a bit tired in the ring as Barrett enters and begins to dominate both of his opponents. Edge is able to bump Barrett onto the grating but Mysterio makes his way to Edge and proceeds to drop kick him. Barrett recovers quickly and is able to cut off Mysterio on the top rope. Mysterio ends up on the shoulders of Barrett and swings his legs into Edge. Mysterio continues by grabbing the steel fencing to block Barrett’s finisher. Mysterio flips Barrett back into the ring with his legs and follows with a 619 setup. This is to no avail as Edge is able to cut Mysterio off with a big boot for a good near fall. The next man to enter the match is Kane. Mysterio goes to the toop rope only to have Kane knock him off with an uppercut. Drew McIntyre enters the match. McIntyre picks up Mysterio and throws him into the glass pod. Kane avoids a 619 and counters with throwing Mysterio head first into the pod. Big Show is the last to enter the match. All men in now. Big Show is able to eliminate Wad Barrett with a pin. Mysterio climbs onto one of the pods and leaps off onto Big Show with a senton. Kane chokeslams Big Show and then eliminates him. Kane then catches McIntyre by the throat and chokeslams him, eliminating him. Mysterio hits a 619 on Kane. Edge spears Mysterio into Kane and then pins Kane which elimnates Edge. Kane doesn’t leave the match however as he throws a hissy fit and chokeslams the two remaining men. Kane leaves the chamber. The match is ending with the same two men that started it, Edge and Mysterio. Mysterio hits the 619 and heads for the top rope. Edge spears Mysterio midair and goes for the pin and win.
