Elimination Chamber, once WWE's final PPV stop before WrestleMania, was a definite B-show in 2015; in fact, it was only announced less than three weeks beforehand. The card still ended up delivering some memorable action and a major upset victory, but rewatching the show on DVD (which incidentally is a UK exclusive), one can't escape the feeling that it was still a card of lesser importance.

The opening Tag Team Elimination Chamber match for the doubles titles has its moments, with some quite frankly insane stunts, but a couple of spots appear to be the subject of wrestler confusion (as in, the performers themselves didn't know where to be at some points), and the finish is a bit anticlimactic, resulting in an opener that is good but by no means great. The three-way match for the Divas Championship is okay, but Nikki Bella vs. Paige vs. Naomi won't exactly be brought up at the end of the year as a vintage showcase of the women's division.

A stunning upset, a controversial main event finish and two Elimination Chamber matches with a twist were the notable talking points of Elimination Chamber 2015, an event which was only announced three weeks beforehand and which, in North America, aired exclusively on the WWE Network. To avoid confusion, I still class this as a Pay-Per-View event as it was carried on PPV in some parts of the world, and everything besides its Network transmission in the US would suggest that it was a Pay-Per-View.

After a basic Kick-Off match between Stardust and Zack Ryder, which was won by Stardust, the main card opened with the first ever Tag Team Elimination Chamber match, with the WWE Tag Team Titles at stake. Entered into this contest were defending titleholders The New Day (with all three members being eligible to compete, as strange as it may sound), Tyson Kidd and Cesaro, The Lucha Dragons, The Ascension, The Prime Time Players and Los Matadores.
