In the main event, Randy Orton retained the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in an Elimination Chamber match, defeating John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Christian, Cesaro, and Sheamus.

The main event was the Elimination Chamber match, where Randy Orton defended the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against five wrestlers after retaining it at the Royal Rumble from John Cena.

Stephanie McMahon claimed they didn't want to overwork him with two matches in a night, but Bryan concluded they disliked him due to his popularity.

Triple H sent in The Shield (Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and United States Champion Dean Ambrose) to attack Bryan, but Cena and Sheamus saved him.

His last opponent, Sheamus, won by disqualification, as The Shield and The Wyatt Family got involved on the February 17 episode of Raw.

On the January 31 episode of SmackDown, The Shield (Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose) refused Triple H's request for the group to drop the matter of The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, and Erick Rowan) disqualifying them from the Chamber match, so a six-man tag team match between the two teams was scheduled for Elimination Chamber.

On the February 3 episode of Raw, Batista was interrupted and briefly assaulted by Del Rio, however the latter quickly escaped the ring.

On the February 14 episode of SmackDown, Jack Swagger defeated Mark Henry, Rey Mysterio, and Kofi Kingston in a fatal four-way match to become the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship, and would wrestle champion Big E for the title at the pay-per-view.

Former Prime Time Players tag team members Titus O'Neil and Darren Young were scheduled for a match at Elimination Chamber.

The Elimination Chamber Kickoff Show saw Cody Rhodes and Goldust squaring off against RybAxel (Ryback and Curtis Axel).

During the Elimination Chamber Kickoff pre-show, Cody Rhodes and Goldust faced RybAxel (Ryback and Curtis Axel).

Cameron won by disqualification after Tamina Snuka attacked her with a Clothesline, meaning AJ retained the title.

Bryan climbed to the top rope and jumped Kane (DoO, wrestler) who came and assisted with removing The Wyatt Family and Cena from the chamber.

In the end, Kane hit Bryan before Orton executed another RKO to eliminate him and retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, leading Michael Cole to argue about the dominance the Authority had endured since its foundation at SummerSlam 2013.

[10] Later on, however, Batista addressed the crowd, telling them he did not return to the company to be liked, only to win the championship, thus turning into a villain in the process.

[13] On the March 17 episode of Raw, the stipulation was changed where instead the winner would advance to the main event for the title, thus assuring a triple threat match.

[10] On the March 10 episode of Raw, when Hulk Hogan announced the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXX with Cena at first entering himself as the first entrant, only for the Wyatt Family to interrupt, insinuating that Hogan and Cena's heroic persona's are facades and that Bray is the "truth".

[10] On the March 3 episode of Raw, The Usos finally defeated them to capture their first WWE Tag Team Championship.

[11] Elimination Chamber would mark as the final PPV in-ring competition event for Christian until the 2021 Royal Rumble where he made a surprise return as the number 24 entrant.

This led to Christian making part-time non-wrestling appearances on pre-shows and podcasts without any news regarding his career in wrestling.
