Elimination Chamber 2023

Montreal, Canada will be loud when Sami Zayn enters the ring for his match against Roman Reigns. Will their support be enough?

Rollins and Gargano on top of the pod, and Rollins tried a powerbomb, and Gargano countered with a hurricanrana off the top to the others. He landed the Stomp on Rollins and locked the Chamber back up. A Stomp and a Frog Splash later, and Reed was the first eliminated. He then hit the F-5 to the referee and then to Lashley. Ford climbed up the Chamber, all the way to the ceiling. Rollins and Gargano traded moves to start the match, with Gargano spearing Rollins onto the hard floor. Montez Ford was the last to enter, meaning the Chamber was full. Both women in the ring, and they tried to out-power the other. Carmella his a kick to Morgan and Natalya landed the Sharpshooter. The men's match for the WWE United States Title is up next. Cross is a true force, using her unpredictability and the environment to her advantage. In front of family and friends, Sami Zayn’s story indicates he may be the man to get the job done.

[Wrestling Inc](https://www.wrestlinginc.com/1203109/backstage-news-on-original-plans-for-sami-zayn-at-wwe-elimination-chamber/)), original plans—which Meltzer claims have since changed–called for Jey Uso to betray Zayn, leading to a tag team showdown pitting Zayn and Owens against The Usos at WrestleMania. Despite a potential Zayn victory being scripted as the biggest upset in WWE history, Sami Zayn has emerged as enough of a ratings draw in recent months to make his Cinderella Story a real possibility. Through the strength of The Bloodline storyline, it was Jey Uso, not Zayn, who drew the biggest quarter-hour rating. Not only did fans accept Cody Rhodes as a top star, they embraced him—even when WWE dared to put the pair in the same ring together this past Monday on Raw. With goodwill restored between WWE and its fanbase during the Triple H Era, there were zero instances of fans hijacking WWE storylines. The Bell Centre was just as hostile toward Roman Reigns as they were raucous for Sami Zayn.

Reigns went for a Superman Punch that Zayn avoided and ended up hitting the referee instead. Zayn went to the corner and then did Roman’s locked and loaded pose before hitting him with a Superman Punch. Reigns barked at Zayn and then threw him to the ground. They got to their feet and Zayn threw punches at Reigns and then ran the ropes and knocked him down. The bell rang and then Zayn smiled and jawed at a stone-faced Reigns from across the ring. Theory eventually stood up and then Ford performed a flip dive onto him and then ran back and hit a flip dive onto Rollins on the other side of the ring. Zayn fired chips at Reigns and then ran the ropes, but Reigns dropped him with another uppercut. Back inside the ring, Zayn threw a punch at Reigns, who no-sold it, and then dropped Zayn with a punch. Gargano entered the ring and then hopped over the ropes and spiked Theory with a DDT on the way down. The fourth entrant was Damian Priest, who put Gargano down with a big boot and then worked over Rollins with kicks and a punch. Edge returned to the ring and went for a spear, but Balor beat him to the punch with a sling blade clothesline. Lesnar started to fade and then came back to life and tried to power out of the hold.

Zayn was bolstered by his hometown crowd in Montreal, but it wasn't enough to overcome the undisputed champion.

Phoenix attempted to hit Phoenix with a Con-chair-to using the ring steps but Phoenix escaped to hit a Glam Slam outside the ring. Back in the ring, Phoenix and Edge hit Balor with a Shatter Machine to score the win. Jey refused to move before Reigns took the chair and moved out of the way of a Zayn spear, leading Zayn to take out Jey. Reigns then hit Zayn with the chair several times before hitting a spear and covering until one of the previous referees slid into the ring to count the fall. Zayn threw Reigns for the ring and hit Jimmy with a Helluva kick before turning around into a Reigns spear for another near-fall. Zayn followed up with his own Superman punch and a Helluva kick for a tremendous false finish, with Reigns kicking out at the last possible fraction of a second. Ford remained down after being eliminated, bringing several referees and officials to the ring and leaving the door to the Chamber open and allowing Logan Paul to run in, hit Rollins with a Buckshot Lariat and a stomp before Theory to hit A-Town Down to retain his title. Phoenix attempted to hit Phoenix with a Con-chair-to using the ring steps, but Phoenix escaped to hit a Glam Slam outside the ring. Rollins hit Ford with a stomp onto the platform outside the ring, allowing Theory to steal the pinfall to leave Rollins as the last challenger remaining. Lesnar would hit a second F-5 and go for a third, but Lashley escaped and hit his second spear of the match. Edge and Phoenix both locked in submissions but Mysterio tossed brass knuckles in to the ring for Ripley for the save. The next elimination quickly followed as Natalya locked Asuka in the sharpshooter but was hit by a Carmella superkick, allowing Carmella to score the pin and leaving the match down to Asuka, Carmella and Rodriguez.
