10 Wrestlers Who Were In The Most WWE Elimination Chamber Matches
The Elimination Chamber has been a match that WWE has put on nearly annually since its inception in 2002 at Survivor Series. Since 2010, Elimination Chamber has been its own separate pay-per-view and typically takes place in February as the company's last pay-per-view before WrestleMania.

Through both the men's and women's matches, there have been over 30 different Elimination Chamber matches. However, there are a few wrestlers that have stepped into the cage structure much more than others. While there are seven wrestlers who have been in the match four times, these are the eight wrestlers who have gone beyond that in the structure.
8 Kane - 5
"The Big Red Machine" Kane seems like a perfect wrestler for this match. With a wrestler that debuted in a cage match and is a monster like he is, a demonic structure like the Elimination Chamber, it would seem like Kane would have a great track record.
However, Kane has not only never won an Elimination Chamber match in his five tries, but what's crazier is that he only has two eliminations in his five matches. It does seem like Kane's monster run was just slightly too early for him to dominate this match type, and he was used just as another big man, unfortunately.
7 Sheamus - 5
Sheamus is another big man who has been a frequent addition to the Elimination Chamber. However, despite the huge push he saw in his career early on, he also still does not have a victory in the chamber.

Sheamus typically is a superstar that WWE is willing to put the title on when the World Heavyweight Championship or WWE Championship storyline is not around WrestleMania time, or isn't the biggest feud happening at that time. With the Elimination Chamber coming so close to the grandest stage of them all, they have still yet to allow Sheamus to walk out with a win.
6 Daniel Bryan - 5
Daniel Bryan is undoubtedly one of the greatest superstars in WWE history. Bryan may not be the first wrestler a fan might think of when it comes to the Elimination Chamber but maybe he should be. Bryan has won three of his five appearances inside the chamber. Bryan retained his World Heavyweight Championship in his Elimination Chamber debut back in 2012 and also in 2019 where he also retained his championship, as well as winning the WWE Universal Championship in 2021 before leaving for AEW shortly after his WrestleMania match against Roman Reigns and Edge.
5 Kofi Kingston - 6
Kofi Kingston is another smaller wrestler who would seem not built for the physical toll this match takes to win. However, Kingston has walked out of the Elimination Chamber a winner before. Kingston's first and only chamber victory came in the form of a tag team Elimination Chamber match back in 2015.

However, Kingston's most memorable moment in the chamber match is when he fell short to defeat Daniel Bryan in the match in 2019, and the New Day came to his aid to comfort him as he and many fans thought that he wouldn't get his WrestleMania moment after all.
4 Triple H - 6
HHH might be the wrestler that is most synonymous with the Elimination Chamber and for good reason. The idea of the match comes from the game himself. Just as Chris Jericho is credited with coming up with the Money In The Bank ladder match, Triple H is credited for the Elimination Chamber, which may be a reason as to why he has the most wins inside the chamber with four victories.
Triple H first found success in the match when he retained the World Heavyweight Championship in 2003 and had all his wins done by 2009. In fact, Triple H hasn't been a part of an Elimination Chamber match since 2010, going over a decade now without seeing the creator in his brainchild match.
3 John Cena - 7
Of course, no list about WWE superstars competing in any match would be complete until John Cena is mentioned. With Cena seemingly becoming the backbone of WWE in the late 2000s and continuing on through the 2010s, Cena has seen his fair share of Elimination Chamber matches. Like Daniel Bryan, Cena has won the match three times but has had to do it in seven matches. Also like Bryan, Cena had won the match starting first as well as starting last.

Despite remaining in these matches since 2018, Cena has not won an Elimination Chamber since 2011. If Cena can pull over one more win in this structure, he will tie Triple H for the record of most wins.
2 Randy Orton - 8
“The Viper” Randy Orton would have broken the record if he was in this year's Elimination Chamber, but since he is not, he has to settle with still being tied with now AEW's Chris Jericho for first place. Orton has won the match only once, and it wasn't until his sixth appearance in the match h that he picked up his win. With an evil character like Orton has been before, it seems like he should have a few more wins in this kind of match. However, with the way it looks, Orton isn't showing signs of slowing down and could have many more opportunities to compete and win in this match for years to come.
1 Chris Jericho - 8
Chris Jericho not only has the most appearances in the Elimination Chamber, tied with Randy Orton at 8, he also owns the record for the most eliminations all-time with 10. However, despite the many pinfalls he has obtained, Jericho only has come out of the match as the victor once.
Jericho s victory was when he won the World Heavyweight Championship back in 2010 when he defeated CM Punk, John Morrison, R-Truth, Rey Mysterio, and then champion The Undertaker. 'Taker lost the title to Jericho due to Shawn Michaels interfering to set up their match at WrestleMania 26.
