The 2023 Elimination Chamber (known as No Escape in Germany) was a professional wrestling event produced by the American company WWE.

The event aired via pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming and featured wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.

In the main event, Roman Reigns defeated Sami Zayn to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

This also made Asuka the first woman to win the Royal Rumble, Money in the Bank, and Elimination Chamber matches.

[2] Announced on October 24, 2022, the 13th Elimination Chamber event was scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 18, 2023, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and featured wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.

The event aired on pay-per-view worldwide and was available to livestream on Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network in most international markets.

Premium hospitality packages went on sale on October 28 before general public tickets became available on November 18.

[12] On January 30, it was announced that Austin Theory would defend the United States Championship in an Elimination Chamber match, marking the first time for the title to be contested in the structure.

[14] The last two qualifying matches took place on the following week's episode, where Damian Priest and Montez Ford earned their spots by defeating Angelo Dawkins and Elias, respectively.

The first qualifiers were confirmed as the four runner ups in the women's Royal Rumble match: Asuka and Nikki Cross from Raw and Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez from SmackDown.

The first took place on the February 3 episode of SmackDown, where Natalya defeated Shayna Baszler, Shotzi, and Zelina Vega,[12] while the second occurred on the February 6 episode of Raw, where the returning Carmella defeated Candice LeRae, "Michin" Mia Yim, and Piper Niven.

[16] At Extreme Rules in October 2022, Judgment Day member Finn Bálor defeated Edge in an "I Quit" match after fellow Judgment Day member, Rhea Ripley, forced him to quit after threatening to attack Edge's wife Beth Phoenix with a con-chair-to.

[19] At Raw is XXX on January 23, 2023, Lesnar returned from hiatus and cost Lashley his United States Championship match.

[11] On the February 6 episode of Raw, Lesnar appeared with a contract to challenge Lashley to another match at Elimination Chamber.

Morgan climbed the chamber wall and performed a Sunset Bomb off the top of a pod on Rodriguez.

[1] Next, Edge and Beth Phoenix faced The Judgment Day (Finn Bálor and Rhea Ripley, accompanied by Dominik Mysterio) in a mixed tag team match.

As Edge and Phoenix simultaneously applied the Edgecator on Bálor and Ripley, respectively, Mysterio tried to intervene only for the referee to prevent him from doing so.

Ford performed a Crossbody off the roof of the chamber onto Gargano, Rollins, Theory, Reed, and Priest.

[1] In the main event, Roman Reigns (accompanied by Paul Heyman) defended the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Sami Zayn.

As soon as the match started, the hometown crowd cheered for Zayn, while viciously booing and hurling insults towards Reigns.

Zayn performed another Exploder Suplex on Reigns and followed up with his own Superman Punch and the Helluva Kick for a nearfall.

Edge at WrestleMania 39 "is now off the table," and that Beth Phoenix vs. Rhea Ripley "feels like a match WWE can revisit at any point."

Beaston also gave the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match a grade of A+, calling it "professional wrestling perfection," a "dramatic masterpiece," and that Roman Reigns was "the master of the near-fall, shooting his shoulder off the mat at the last possible second to maximize the reaction."

[25] During the Elimination Chamber post-event press conference, United States Champion Austin Theory issued an open challenge for the title.

[32] Also on Raw, Sami Zayn addressed his loss at Elimination Chamber and said he needed to talk to one person, Kevin Owens.

[27] Omos and his manager MVP addressed the match between Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley from Elimination Chamber.

MVP then invited Lesnar to Raw the following week to accept Omos' challenge for a match at WrestleMania 39.

[29] Also on the following episode of Raw, Bobby Lashley claimed that no one, including Bray Wyatt (who on the SmackDown before Elimination Chamber stated that he would target the winner of Brock Lesnar vs. Lashley), could break his Hurt Lock submission and stated that everyone needed to show him respect or else he would put them down.

[27] Wyatt then began playing head games with Lashley on subsequent episodes of Raw and SmackDown, which further enraged him.

[39] On the March 20 episode of Raw, The Usos accepted Owens and Zayn's challenge for a match at WrestleMania 39 for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship.
