5. WWE World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match (Elimination Chamber)
The WWE World Heavyweight Championship picture on the road to WrestleMania 30 was interesting to say the least. Randy Orton successfully defended his title against John Cena at Royal Rumble in a match where that night's live crowd crapped all over it. It was also on that show that Batista won the annual 30-man Royal Rumble match, earning himself a title shot in the main event of WrestleMania. The fans in attendance in Pittsburgh weren't very receptive toward that, either. But before Orton could face The Animal at 'Mania, he had to go through the Elimination Chamber match first. Among his opponents were Daniel Bryan, John Cena, Sheamus, Christian and Cesaro. All six competitors are incredible athletes, so it made for an excellent Elimination Chamber. It wasn't as brutal or as bloody as other Chamber matches we've seen over the years, but the action was just as if not more entertaining. Cesaro's strong showing, Christian's surprise win over Sheamus, and Bryan's resilience were all highlights. Interference from both The Wyatt Family and Kane made the finish of the match more convoluted than it needed to be, but everything that occurred up to that point was fantastic.
