What are the rules of WWE Elimination Chamber?
Six entrants take part in the match. The ring is covered by a unique steel cage-like structure which has four enclosed, separate spaces.
Two wrestlers begin the match inside the ring. The other four must wait, occupying one of the enclosed spaces each, and unable to enter until a countdown allows.
Every five minutes one of the four separated wrestlers will have their door unlocked and will be allowed to join the action.
Wrestlers are eliminated by pinfall or submission anywhere within the Elimination Chamber structure.
The match is won by the last wrestler standing after the other five have been eliminated.
