10 Best Non-Chamber Matches In WWE Elimination Chamber History

10. Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston (2013)

Dolph Ziggler, then-Money in the Bank briefcase holder, was not originally booked to be on the 2013 Elimination Chamber card. Accompanied by AJ Lee and Big E, he came to the ring with a mic in his hand to complain. Booker T responded by setting up this impromptu match between him and Kofi Kingston.

Admittedly, the match was short and the crowd wasn't as invested as it could have been if there was any sort of feud. But these two work well together and were able to put together a match still good enough to be included on this list.

Ziggler always knows how to sell and that was shown by the way he took an early monkey flip. He added an extra 180° or so to the rotation of it and landed on his face.

On the top rope near the end of the match, Dolph had Kofi set up for what looked like a superplex. Instead, Dolph dropped him belly first onto the corner ropes as they both came down. This set up the Zig Zag for the win.

After the match, Big E took to the ring to attack an already beat down Kofi Kingston. It was a showcase for him as he topped off the assault with the Big Ending. It's noteworthy considering that those two are currently killing it in The New Day.
