Elimination Chamber
February 12th, 2017
Location: Phoenix, AZ
Chris Jericho(c) vs ???- United States Title Match
Y2J's US Title Open Challenge opened Elimination Chamber, and who should answer but the former champion, Sami Zayn. Jericho looked surprised to see Zayn, and it showed early on, as Sami out-wrestled the champion. Chris Jericho is as crafty as it gets, and he slowed the pace of the match down. Looking to prove his US Title win wasn't as a result of Kevin Owens' attack, Jericho looked motivated, surviving everything Zayn threw at him and catching Sami with a Codebreaker for a clean retention.
Winner and still United States Champion: Chris Jericho
TJ Perkins vs Neville
It was time for cruiserweight action, and neither of these men held back. TJ Perkins and Neville were going right after the ring of the bell, and it was the Cruiserweight champion that held the early advantage. Perkins worked the ground game, keeping Neville from taking flight. Neville tried every tactic he knew, but a misfire on the Red Arrow seemed to spell disaster, as the TJP Clutch was locked in. For all his big talk, Neville has a lot of heart, and he fought out of the hold, catching Perkins with an inverted frankensteiner. From there, it was only a matter of time before the Red Arrow connected, and the self-proclaimed King of the Cruiserweights stood victorious.
Winner: Neville
Paige(c) vs Alexa Bliss vs Charlotte- SmackDown Women's Title Match
Someone call the cops, because these three women stole the show. On a night dedicated to survival of the fittest, each of these women were desperate to prove that they were the best. Near fall after near fall, finisher after finisher, they all wrestled their heart out. Charlotte proved to be a dominant force, nailing Natural Selection after Natural Selection, but she couldn't put either of the other two women away. Paige unleashed a devastating new move, a top rope RamPaige, that wasn't enough to put Alexa Bliss away. Alexa, the clear fan favorite, turned things around on the champion and looked for Twisted Bliss. Charlotte sent her toppling to the floor and locked Paige in the Figure 8. Everyone thought it was over, but Paige somehow hung on for a rope break. A frustrated Charlotte then knocked the champion out with another Natural Selection. Alexa saw her moment, taking out Charlotte with a big DDT and ending Paige's historic reign with Twisted Bliss as the crowd went wild.
Winner and the NEW SmackDown Women's Champion: Alexa Bliss

Tyler Breeze vs Braun Strowman vs Tyson Kidd vs Kane vs Apollo Crews vs Shawn Michaels- Elimination Chamber Match
Six of SmackDown's finest entered the Elimination Chamber, looking to challenge for the WWE Title at WrestleMania. It was Apollo Crews and Tyler Breeze that started the match. Crews' dream of heading to WrestleMania would be cut short via a Sweet Chin Music from Shawn Michaels, the next entrant. tyson Kidd was next to exit the pod, going right after Tyler Breeze. Braun Strowman and Kane, the final two men in the match, renewed their hostilities. Strowman was a big favorite to win it all, but the Big Red Machine had something to say about that, delivering a big chokeslam. Tyler Breeze charged in and took out Kane, before countering a big move from Strowman into a Beauty Shot for the shock elimination. An enraged Kane tried to attack everything that moved, but ran right into a Sweet Chin Music for HBK's second elimination. Breeze and Kidd traded big moves in the ring, the old rivals going toe to toe, before Tyson countered the Unprettier into a Dungeon Lock, and Prince Pretty was forced to tap out. That left two men: Tyson Kidd and Shawn Michaels, winner heading to WrestleMania to challenge for the WWE Title. Both men exchanged Sharpshooter attempts, before Tyson looked to have won it with a Code Blue. Micheals got the shoulder up just in time, however. Tyson climbed to the top rope, locking for a big move, and leaped right into a third Sweet Chin Music. The Heart Break Kid was retired just two months ago, and now he heads to WrestleMania.
Winner: Shawn Micheals
