00:00Now I know what you're thinking. Throughout all of this WWE on Netflix

00:05stuff you might be asking yourself what certain matches are. What is the

00:09difference between a Hell in a Cell and a Royal Rumble? What's the difference

00:12between an Elimination Chamber and a cage match? Well for you casuals out

00:18there that are just coming back and enjoying the WWE since it arrived on

00:22Netflix or for those of you very very brand new, let me explain to you the

00:27hellacious conditions that many are finding themselves in when they head to

00:31Toronto on March the 1st and find themselves inside the structure we

00:36belovedly call the Elimination Chamber. So what is the Elimination Chamber? Well

00:44six superstars compete inside of a massive chain-linked steel structure

00:49with plexiglass pods. Two wrestlers start in the ring while the other four are

00:53locked inside the pods at the corners of the chamber. Now every five minutes a

00:58pod randomly opens releasing another competitor into the match and the match

01:02continues until only one wrestler remains after all the others have been

01:07eliminated by pinfall and submission. Sounds simple enough? Yeah there's a

01:13couple of caveats in there. For example there are no disqualifications inside

01:18the Elimination Chamber meaning that anything is fair game inside the

01:22structure. A wrestler is eliminated when they are pinned or forced to submit

01:26inside the ring and once eliminated they must leave the chamber immediately

01:31although sometimes they don't and shenanigans are afoot. Now the last

01:36remaining wrestler is declared the winner and depending on the stakes they

01:40either become the new champion if the title is on the line or in the case of

01:44WrestleMania 41 earn a title shot at the Showcase of the Immortals in this case

01:49being the men's winner of the Elimination Chamber faces Cody at the

01:54Granddaddy of them all. Oh and the chamber itself? Yeah it's a brutal

01:58environment. It's surrounded like I mentioned with steel chains. The floor

02:02outside is made of hard steel grates and wrestlers have and will use the chamber

02:08walls and pods as weapons leading to some of the most memorable moments in

02:12WWE history. It's gonna happen twice in one night with your men's and your

02:18women's Elimination Chamber matches happening. It's become a staple of the

02:22WWE calendar and you can enjoy it in full when it appears on Netflix live and

02:27uncut March 1st 2025 or if you're in the UK time zones March 2nd
