The event was the last WWE pay-per-view to have taken place in front of a live ticketed crowd before the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11.

The next day, the promotion would move the majority of its shows, including WrestleMania 36, to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida with no fans in attendance.

[2] Announced on November 15, 2019, the 2020 event was the 10th Elimination Chamber and featured wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.

Announced for the match were Natalya, Liv Morgan, Asuka, Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan, and NXT's Shayna Baszler,[10] who reignited her feud with Lynch from Survivor Series by ambushing her on the previous week's episode of Raw.

[11] On the January 31 episode of SmackDown, Braun Strowman defeated Shinsuke Nakamura (with Sami Zayn and Cesaro in his corner) to win the Intercontinental Championship.

Zayn seized the opportunity and he, Nakamura, and Cesaro all signed the contract, making it a 3-on-1 handicap match for Strowman's Intercontinental Championship at the event.

[13] At Super ShowDown, The Miz and John Morrison defeated The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) to capture the SmackDown Tag Team Championship.

[14] The following night on SmackDown, it was announced that Miz and Morrison would defend the titles in a tag team Elimination Chamber match at the event.

[15] At Super ShowDown, Seth Rollins and Murphy retained the Raw Tag Team Championship against The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford).

Later backstage, Rollins and Murphy challenged The Street Profits to a championship rematch at Elimination Chamber, which was made official.

[16] On the Royal Rumble Kickoff pre-show, Andrade (accompanied by Zelina Vega) retained the United States Championship against Humberto Carrillo.

[19] With Andrade absent over the next month,[20] Vega brought up her new associate, Angel Garza from NXT, Carrillo's real life cousin.

[15] During the Elimination Chamber Kickoff pre-show, The Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar) faced Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder.

As Gallows and Anderson held Black in position for Styles to perform a Phenomenal Forearm, The Undertaker's gong sounded and the lights went out.

[1] Next, The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) defended the Raw Tag Team Championship against Seth Rollins and Murphy (accompanied by Akam and Rezar).

[1] The main event was Raw's women's Elimination Chamber match between Natalya, Liv Morgan, Asuka, Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan, and NXT's Shayna Baszler in which the winner earned a Raw Women's Championship match against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 36.

Baszler entered fourth and dominated her opponents, eliminating Logan, Riott, and Natalya each with the Kirifuda Clutch submission.

Brian Mazique of Forbes gave the match a perfect A+ rating, the highest of the night, stating that "from a technical standpoint, it had just about everything you could ask.

I knew going into this dream match that this was meant to be a breakout moment for Drew and Daniel Bryan did everything in his power to help him reach that lofty goal.

[...] This won't go down as the best Chamber match in history, but it had a lot of fun moments and told multiple stories at the same time.

Bleacher Report gave it a B+ rating, stating: "Black and Styles worked well together and Taker's involvement was a nice surprise.

The Deadman and Styles appear to be heading toward a match at WrestleMania, but for now, Black picked up a big win to give him some momentum".

[24] Forbes gave the match a C+ rating, calling it "fairly entertaining, but I wish it hadn't been forced into place amidst the obvious setup for Styles vs.

His fun run-in and that nasty Black Mass Aleister delivered to AJ to finish off this bout was pretty cool to watch unfold".

[27] Forbes gave the match a B rating, stating: "It was a performance that was about as dominant as you'll ever see in the EC, and it showed how much WWE believes in Baszler as a supervillain".

[23] Wade Keller of Pro Wrestling Torch called the women's Elimination Chambers "the least entertaining match of the night" and stated that "it took away a lot of whatever benefit Baszler got for dominating like that".

[26] Elimination Chamber would be the final WWE pay-per-view to be held in-person with spectators before the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11.

In August, the company relocated Raw and SmackDown's shows to a bio-secure bubble called the WWE ThunderDome, which was first hosted at Orlando's Amway Center.

Black fought back, but was outnumbered by Murphy, Rollins, and AOP (Akam and Razar) until The Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar) and The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) made the save.

This led to an eight-man tag team match in which Rollins, Murphy, and AOP defeated The Viking Raiders and The Street Profits.
