11. John Cena vs. Kane vs. Mike Knox vs. Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Edge (No Way Out 2009)
When Edge exited the Elimination Chamber at the beginning of the show at No Way Out 2009, it seemed that his Road to WrestleMania would be completely uncertain. However, he raced to the ring during Kofi Kingston's entrance in the night's main-event and laid him out. Taking someone else's spot in the Chamber had never been done before, but it was certainly well within the scope of Edge's character to become the first. The Ultimate Opportunist would not fail for a second time in one evening. In a climactic final six minutes, Edge and Rey Mysterio gave Undertaker and Triple H a run for their money for the best finishing sequence in Chamber history, to that point. Their see-saw battle may have ended in crushing defeat for Mysterio, but it was a career highlight for both.
