Opening Credits.
Before anyone can speak, Paul Heyman strolls down to the ring accompanied by the TNA World Champion Bully Ray ad the recently recruited WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar................
Heyman claims that what stands in the ring is.............DOMINATION!!!!!!!
He claims that Sunday Night was the perfect example of how TNA are always one step ahead of the WWE.......................with the World Championship & Intercontinental Title in TNA custody, the Takeover is nearing completion.......
Just then however Bobby Lashley interrupts and enters the ring, Heyman is irate, he agreed to talk with Lashley about Sunday Night, but not in front of the WWE Universe..............but Lashleyt wants answers, and he wants another shot at becoming World Champion...............Heyman shuts Lashley down, he's not getting another Title Shot, in fact he then goes on to reveal that Lashley was never his choice to be TNA Champion, he continuously disregarded Heyman's way of dealing with problems, which is why he made the choice to put the Title on Bully Ray, and then, even though it cost a lot of money, he got Lesnar to make the switch to TNA.......................making Lashley irrelevant and replaceable...................
And with that Heyman leaves followed by Bully & Lesnar, both with smirks on theirv face...........
Commentary: After that revelation, where does that leave Bobby Lashley?
The Road to Wrestlemania continues with one more stop, The Elimination Chamber Pay per View...................and tonight after his unexpected return in the Royal Rumble match, John Cena will be here to address the World Title picture, a Title that he never lost......................also continuing their fight for redemption, Chris Jericho & Kofi Kingston team up against 2 members of The Corre............
Backstage: Daniel Bryan walks in on Brock Lesnar..............Bryan is disgusted at Lesnar, for turning his back on the WWE for money...........even Bobby Lashley has more respect for the business..............
Lesnar disregards Bryan, telling the "Little Man" to walk away, because he's a loser and where he's standing right now is as close as he'll ever get to the World Championship...................
Bryan issues Lesnar a warning.............then turns to leave, but as he exits he is jumped by Kurt Angle who sends Bryan head first into a pile of packing cases................
Coming up next as a result of her actions at The Royal Rumble Kharma has been challenged by Summer Rae...............
Kharma v Summer Rae
Winner: Kharma via Submission
Post Match: As a reminder that she wants the next Womens Title Match, Rosemary appears at the top of the entrance ramp, and stares through the demoralised Summer Rae.........................
Backstage: Team 3D are in deep discussion about what went down on Monday Night Raw with The Motor City Machine Guns...............D'Von claims that the Machine Guns made a huge error of judgement aligning themselves with WWE................and if they show their faces again....................all hell will happen..................................

Promo: Out in the ring Brie Bella calls out Gail Kim on being unable to back up all her talk, after getting intentionally disqualified in her Knockouts Title Match at The Royal Rumble...............................
This gets a response from Gail Kim, accompanied by Maria..................Gail claims that the DQ was a mis-hap, she was just making sure the WWE Timekeeper didn't touch her Title with his grubby hands, Brie Bella simply got in the way................Gail wanted to beat Brie all over the ring and embarrass her, but unfortunately Brie's had her Title shot now, so that cannot happen now........
Maria then fires off a nasty comment, telling Brie that now she can go back to being Daniel Bryan's BITCH!!!!
GM Office: Time for an announcement from General Manager Teddy Long................despite Lesnar's switch to TNA, the World Championship is still WWE Propertyt, and as a result will be defended as and when WWE decide, and it will be defended at The Elimination Chamber in a 4 Man Battle Royal, and next week will see one of Lesnar's opponents qualify as Daniel Bryan will face Kurt Angle.................and now moving on, last week on Smackdown, Teddy Long told Team 3D that he would find an opponent for them to defend their Tag Titles against, and those opponents will be.................THE MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS!!!!!!!!!
And now Jericho & Kofi look for retribution against The Corre.................
Chris Jericho & Kofi Kingston v David Otunga & Micheal Tarver
Winners: Chris Jericho & Kofi Kingston via Pinfall by Kofi Kingston on Micheal Tarver.
Promo: Triple H has entered the ring and he has a microphone........................
On Sunday despite the interference by Randy Orton, Triple H sent a message to CM Punk through Christopher Daniels...................and now he has a clear route to CM Punk which no one will prevent him from taking.............................
Just then however the ring is invaded by Mark Henry and Randy Orton who catch Triple H cold and deliver a major beatdown................it would appear the route to CM Punk is not as clear as Triple H thought..........................
In the parking Bay, a limo arrives...............and out steps John Cena............the former World Champion is back, and he's here to address his view on the World Title picture.....
But first Christopher Daniels takes on Matt Hardy, who played a part in his defeat to Triple H Sunday Night........................
Christopher Daniels w/ Randy Orton v Matt Hardy

and here comes JOHN CENA!!!!!!!!
Promo: Cena is excited to be back on Smackdown for the first time since November when he became the victim of a gang attack by then unknown assailants, now known to be The Corre, which caused him to have to vacate the World Title, on Sunday at The Royal Rumble he returned in an attempt to Main Event Wrestlemania, but that didn't go top plan, but he WILL Main Event Wrestlemania when he recaptures the World Title and brings it not only back to him, but also back to the WWE where it belongs, at The Elimination Chamber thereby confirming himself as one of Lesnar's three opponents...................
Backstage: Paul Heyman is with Kharma, he has a microphone and he performs a mock WWE Intervierw, asking her why she turned on WWE at Royal Rumble to rejoin the superior TNA?
Kharma claims that unlike the other Diva's in WWE, she has a mind of her own, she was the only WOMAN on the Smackdown Roster and as such knew she was the only one worthy of being called Champion, but WWE didn't like the way she went about her business, so they suspended her, only to realise that the "Diva's" left on the roster couldn't fight when a reaL THREAT arrived in the form of the TNA Knockouts, so they asked her to come back, which Kharma agreed to on one stipulation..............she got a Womnen's Title Match..................and then she knew what she had to do..................
Up next Bobby Lashley faces a potential 3 opponents in Gauntlet action...................
Bobby Lashley v James Storm
Winner: Bobby Lashley via Submission.
Bobby Lashley v Bobby Roode
Winner: Bobby Roode via Submission.
Post Match: Unable to recover from the first battle against Storm, Roode took full adavantage to pick up the victory, but then James Storm re-entered the ring and the 3rd opponent Crazzy Steve also entered and together the three of them delivered a major beating to Lashley and with that assault, effectively ejecting Bobby Lashley out of TNA.....................
But then just as Roode & Storm were celebrating on the entrance ramp, they were cut short, by the arrival of Steiner & Mahal who delivered a beating to their Tag Title opponents as retaliation for Monday Night Raw.....................
Commentary: Breaking News, John Cena will be competing tonight, but there's no news on who his opponent will be........................just then Paul Heyman arrives on the scene and takes a seat on the commentary desk..........................
surprised at this Micheal Cole queries Heyman's arrival..............
Heyman reveals that he's here to watch a great Main Event between the returning John Cena and ...............Mark Henry!!!!!!!
And this is not just a 1 on 1 match up, this is for a spot in the World Championship Match at Elimination Chamber, after Heyman had convinced Cena backstage that he should compete and EARN his Title rematch, which Cena agreed to...................
John Cena v Mark Henry
In a real tight contest, in Cena's first 1 on 1 match in 3 Months, the result could've gone either way, that is until after numerous 2 Counts on Cena, Mark Henry lost his temper with the referee, grabbing hold of him and flinging him across the ring like a rag doll.................normally that would result in a DQ, but the referee was too dazed to make the call.......so Mark Henry went to deliver further punishment to Cena.............but just then Triple H was in the ring and without hesitation he launched an attack on Mark Henry before hitting the Pedigree..................leaving the ring then he watched as Cena crawled over for the cover, just as the referee was climbing back into the ring............seeing the cover the referee went for the pinfall.................
Winner: John Cena via Pinfall.
Commentary: Paul Heyman splutters and moans about Triple H's interference, as Cena celebrates qualifying for the World Title Match at Elimination Chamber...............Lawler points out that Mark Henry could and maybe should have been disqualified before Triple H's intervention.........
