WWE: 10 Wildest Elimination Chamber Moments

1. Heartbreak In The Cellar

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC7V-ayjorg 2010 SmackDown Chamber World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker had more than just title defences and chambers on his mind. For several weeks prior to this event, Taker had been pursued by an obsessed Shawn Michaels. Michaels was haunted by his loss to the Undertaker in their epic battle at WrestleMania 25. He challenged Taker to a re-match, and when Taker refused, HBK tried to get to the champ via the Royal Rumble. Thwarted at the Rumble, Michaels was showing signs of desperation. Superkicking referees and arguing with his bestie Triple H, Shawn vowed that if he couldn't beat The Undertaker, he had no career. On that fateful night in the Chamber, Taker was locked into a ferocious battle with the only other wrestler left, Chris Jericho. They traded submission holds and pinfall attempts, with Taker executing a Last Ride on Y2J. He signalled for the Tombstone, as Shawn Michaels emerges from underneath one of the steel grates of the Chamber. It's a huge, wild moment for two reasons. First, because Shawn's subsequent superkick to The Undertaker results in Chris Jericho winning the World Heavyweight title. Second, and more importantly, Shawn's interference is the last straw for Taker, who finally accepts his challenge for a re-match at WrestleMania 26 - on the condition that Michaels also puts his career on the line.
