10 Biggest Surprises In WWE Elimination Chamber History
10. Jack Swagger Rolls Up Randy Orton
When Jack Swagger won the one-and-only Elimination Chamber match on the 2013 PPV, the result itself wasn’t too much of a surprise.
The match had been set-up to determine a number one contender to Alberto Del Rio’s World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 29, and with Swagger in the midst of his Tea Party gimmick, it was clear that he and Del Rio were on a collision course.
The way in which the result arrived, however, was a little less expected.
An excellent Chamber match saw Swagger joined by Chris Jericho and Randy Orton in the final three, where the trio put in a great display for the better part of eight minutes before Orton finally saw off Jericho. Seconds later, Swagger himself would swoop in, rolling up Orton almost immediately to seal a sudden and dramatic win. That contrast of an eight-minute struggle between the final three, followed by Swagger pinning Orton just a few seconds later was a nice way of keeping the finish fresh.
Though the outcome wasn't too surprising, that ending certainly was.
