The Coach is backstage with Triple H.
JC: Triple H, this weekend you go into the Elimination Chamber for the third time.
HHH: Coach, you know better than anyone else that I am the only man to successfully defend a championship in the Elimination Chamber.
Shawn Michaels walks in.
SM: Well, well, well. Boys let's not forget who won the FIRST Elimination Chamber. And since me & Triple H are the only 2 men to compete in BOTH matches. I'd say the odds are in one of our favors.
HHH: Shawn, no offense but this is not 2 years ago & you're not getting any younger. Maybe it''s time for you to gracefully step down and retire for good.
SM: Maybe you're right, (Michaels turns and then jumps on Triple H beating him down) And then again maybe NOT!

6 Man Tag Team Match:
Shawn Michaels, The Rock, & The Undertaker defeated Jeff Jarrett, Triple H, & Brock Lesnar when Michaels defeated Triple H by disqualification in 25:22.
Rating: ****
(Ric Flair interfered against Shawn Michaels.)

Match observations:

The Elimination Chamber is getting closer. No the stakes have risen as Vince Russo's job is on the line. Can Jarrett survive with the title? Can Triple H or Shawn Michaels repeat past glory by winning a second Elimination Chamber? And Don't forget... there are 7 other men that will be in there as well.

The Dudleyz will defend the NWA World Tag Team Title against AMW in a 2 out of 3 falls match at Fully Loaded.

AJ Styles will face Insane Dragon, Teddy Hart, & Jonny Storm in defense of the X Division Title.

Edge will face Randy Orton for the US Title. Will he repeat his win over "The Legend Killer" from tonight this weekend?

Congrats to new US Tag Team Champs: Charlie Haas & Nick Dinsmore. But will their celebration be short lived when they defend the title this weekend?

Catch Fully Loaded this weekend to find out all this & more!

Holy cow, those last six matches were a great little run of workrate there. To be honest, now, I'm not entirely sure who's going to to win the Elimination Chamber. Either Jarrett or Helmsley if I had to put money on it.

Oh yeah, and Jericho was in both the original elimination chambers, but I know what you meant. ;)
