Creatively, the Elimination Chamber promises to play a huge role in setting up what could arguably be one of the greatest Wrestlemania's of all time. The storyline between Sami Zayn and The Bloodline is the single hottest thing going around in all of professional wrestling. The way things ended at the Royal Rumble, with Sami betraying the Bloodline and Jey Uso walking away, this has all elements of a Hollywood blockbuster. Heck! Possibly even more. Interestingly, the idea of a build-up towards another dream Mania match can come true. Yesterday on SmackDown, Bray Wyatt issues a challenge to the winner of the Lesnar vs Lashley match for Mania, all but indicating that a much-awaited one-on-one contest between The Beast and the Eater of Worlds can indeed become a reality. The two crossed paths long back in 2015 but nothing materialised barring a couple of indirect showdowns. The seven-year-wait may finally come true.

WWE Elimination Chamber Live: THE HISTORY
The first-ever Elimination Chamber took place way back in 2002, and while on kayfabe, it was the brainchild of the one Eric Bischoff, it was Triple H, who actually came up with the idea. A brutal steel structure weighing over 700 tons with miles of chains involved. 21 years ago, in front of the Madison Square Garden, Shawn Michaels captured the WWE Heavyweight Championship from The Game, in a six-way showdown involving Booker T, Chris Jericho, Kane and Rob Van Dam. Two decades later, here we are. Initially, the Chambers matches were used sporadically over the years before an whole PPV was given to the match-type in 2015. Ever since, the Road to Wrestlemania goes through the Elimination Chamber.
