An incredible six-man tag team match and an underrated Elimination Chamber clash are the highlights of the fifth annual Chamber PPV, and thus the DVD of the event too.

The opener, between Big E and Jack Swagger, is a good one; the performers clearly graft to ensure that this match stays in the minds of the fans. After a brief mention of Hulk Hogan's return on Raw the following night, we get a Tag Team Title match between The New Age Outlaws and The Usos which, awkwardly, is most memorable for the huge chants for CM Punk by the Minneapolis crowd. A pointless Titus O'Neil-Darren Young grudge match is followed by the aforementioned outstanding six-man tag, as The Shield and The Wyatt Family have one hell of a scrap, a match that is arguably better than any of the matches which would come six weeks later at WrestleMania XXX.

The Road To WrestleMania XXX was well and truly in effect by the time that Elimination Chamber rolled around, but where that path will lead to is anybody's guess. Not least due to the absence of CM Punk, who walked out of WWE the day after Royal Rumble, with people none the wiser as to why he did so, and with Punk still yet to return. Whilst WWE is dealing with this crisis off-screen, on-screen it has another big problem as fans have largely greeted Batista's comeback and Royal Rumble victory with disdain, whilst making it clear that contrary to WWE's wishes, they want Daniel Bryan and not Batista to main event WrestleMania XXX.

Elimination Chamber represented a chance for WWE to try and create some buzz for Mania outside of these issues, along with perhaps finding a remedy to the situation of the planned WM main event being unwanted by most. The card itself had two standout matches on paper: the Elimination Chamber match itself for the WWE Title, and a six-man tag pitting The Shield against The Wyatt Family. Would these or any other matches create interest for the April 6 mega-show?
