Opening Credits.
Promo: To open the show WWE Champion Big E strides out to the ring, demands a microphone and claims that this Sunday he will defend his WWE Title inside the Elimination Chamber against 5 other opponents, but he will be doing so under protest.............just then out to the ring comes Samoa Joe, who later tonight faces The Miz to decide the final entrant into the Elimination Chamber match, he tells Big E that he needs to stop whingeing, and just accept that this Sunday he's losing the Title to Joe.............then Sting storms down to the ring putting Big E in a tough situation with 2 TNA Stars..................but before they can take advantage, Edge's music hits and he interjects himself into the situation.............after his near miss with a speeding vehicle last week in the hotel parking bay, he wants answers, he believes that one of the men in the ring was responsible for this attempt seeing that they were either not on Raw, or had only a last minute appearance..............so he suggests the man take responsibility and they can sort it out in the ring........right now................
Big E is the first to respond, he claims that if Edge wants a fight, he'll be glad to accept..................however as Samoa Joe leaves the ring, Sting remains in the ring...........it would appear that no one has taken responsibility, but they can't resist taking Edge out of this Sunday.................and as Edge squares up to this challenge, Samoa Joe re-enters the ring from behind and takes Edge down with the Kimura Clutch..................and then Sting & Big E begin a beatdown on Edge................but then Miz & McIntyre storm down to the ring and take down Sting & Samoa Joe..........while Big E makes a quick exit towards the arena entrance, but as he turns back to the ring to hold his Title above his head, he is blasted from behind by The Monster Abyss!!!!!!
Abyss then begins to head toward the ring where now only Drew McIntyre is still left standing.............but then Abyss reacts to the arrival of Kane still looking for that fight with Abyss, and the two of them get into a brawl that needs multiple superstars from the back to break up...............and the show is only getting started.
Commentary: With that chaotic opening to the show it is clear everyone wants an advantage going into the Elimination Chamber, with the exception of Kane who clearly just wanted to get his hands on Abyss...............after last weeks challenge for this week was not accepted.
Now we go backstage for an interview with TNA Advocate.....Paul Heyman.........
Backstage Interview: Heyman is asked if the solidarity between the TNA Superstars has been cracking, considering that over on Smackdown, Paul Heyman fired Bobby Lashleyand here on Raw MVP & Mr Anderson have come to blows.....................
Heyman claims that WWE would love TNA to crumble, but they are still a solid unit, that a little conflict won't hurt, they will still take the United States Title from WWE this Sunday, furthering their dominance over WWE..............Heyman then storms off.
And coming up next R-Truth takes on United States Champion Ryback in a No Disqualifications Match.
Ryback v R-Truth
No Disqualifications
Winner: Ryback via Pinfall.
Post Match: MVP appears at the Entrance ramp and indicates toward Ryback that he will become United States Champion this Sunday, as a result of this Ryback beckons MVP to come into the ring.....................which he does...........until Jack Swagger comes from behind and lays out MVP, then he heads toward the ring.................but just as he gets to the ringside area, he falls victim to an attack from behind by Mr Anderson.................he then enters the ring and stands opposite Ryback, a prelude to this Sunday is about to take place......................
a fight takes place between Ryback & Anderson..................which Ryback takes control of before sending Anderson over the top rope...........Ryback stands tall tonight.......but will he stand tall this Sunday?
Backstage Interview:After his shocking impact last week, why did Kaval choose that moment and why TNA X Division Champion, Suicide?
Kaval reminds the WWE Universe that at Survivor Series he almost became WWE Champion, then Suicide turned up and put him out of action for a month, putting him way down the pecking order for another shot, as the winner of Season 1 of NXT and a former 2 time X Division Champion, he's coming for Suicide............and the X Division Title!
Backstage: Nikki Bella and Natalya discuss Edges recent troubles, which has resulted in another beatdown tonight, Nikki Bella will be going to the Medical Centre to check on him,, but she also wishes Natalya luck in her match later against the Edgy Katie Lea for a spot in the Women's Elimination Chamber match............meanwhile outside listening in, is the extremely bitter Velvet Sky...................
But coming up next Jade takes on Duiva's Champion Trish Stratus, and for Jade a spot in the Elimination Chamber is up for grabs.................
Jade v Trish Stratus
Winner: Jade via Pinfall.
Commentary: That victory for Jade now makes 5 spots in the Women's Elimination Chamber match have been taken with the final spot going to the winner of Natalya versus Katie Lea...............
but breaking news coming thriough, after another explosive clash earlier tonight betyween Kane & Abyss, Kane's request for a Last Man Standing Match has been granted by Stephanie McMahon, but not in an Elimination Chamber, this will take place inside a Steel Cage....................
Meanwhile backstage another massive brawl has broken between The Colons & Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara........................
A brawl that Epico & Primo walked away from.................
Promo: Out in the ring, Wade Barrett, he reminds everyone that last week he pinned the man who got lucky by winning the Royal Rumble............which is why the USB has made it clear that McIntyre will be walking into Wrestlemania as WWE Champion, so should Goldust choose to compete for that Title, he will have no chance of getting lucky for a second time.................
unsurprisingly this draws Goldust out and with no hesitation enters the ring and tells Barrett that he congratulates him on his win last week, but can he do it again.........this Sunday?
Commentary: Coming up next, it's the final WWE Title Elimination Chamber Qualifier, as The Miz will face Samoa Joe............but just then accepting The Miz' invitation last week, A J Styles arrives to join the announce team..................
The Miz v Samoa Joe
Mid Match: The Miz collides with the referee in the corner, causing A J to shout out in disgust that The Miz should be disquallified...............
but with no one to make "the call", A J takes matters into his own hands, with the referee down he leaps into the ring with a Phenomenal Forearm and knocks Miz out...........................then as the referee slowly recovers, A J exits the ring................
Winner: Samoa Joe via Pinfall.
Backstage: Drew McIntyre is talking to Katie Lea about her upcoming match with Natalya and how this is her first step towards becoming Diva's Champion this Sunday, and together with him, she will represent the USB as Champions................just then Wade Barrett walks in mid conversation on his mobile............as Katie leaves, he ends the call..........Drew then tells Barrett to accept Goldust's challenge this Sunday and once again show him where his status in WWE is...............Barrett agree's, then pointing to his phone informs McIntyre that "He Accepts".............but who accepts, what does this mean for The USB?
