AlbertoDel Rio successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship by submitting The Big Show.
Del Rio managed to tackle the colossal task very well in the opening contest of the night. From the ring of the bell, The Big Show was straight at Del Rio, attacking him savagely, and unleashing fury over the weeks of which Del Rio had embarrassed him. Del Rio had several offensive flurries throughout the matchup, and used his agility and speed to try and outwit The Big Show. On one occasion, Alberto had the Cross-Arm Breaker locked in, and The Big Show was able to lift up Del Rio and slammed him to the ground. It in fact took Del Rio three attempts, before he managed to submit The Big Show, and as The Big Show tapped, the WWE Universe were left shocked. Del Rio had triumphed over The Big Show, and stood in glory, still World Heavyweight Champion.The Miz came close to ending a very long US Championship reign for Antonio Cesaro.
Cesaro came in with the advantage following The Miz's injured left shoulder, but The Miz put up a great fight. Antonio Cesaro's victory came not when he hit The Neutralizer, but an unintentional low-blow that Charles Robinson felt was substantial enough to disqualify The Miz. It looks like we have not seen the end of this rivalry, these two should cross paths again in the near future.
Jack Swagger shocked the WWE Universe by his Elimination Chamber triumph.
It was an extremely entertaining and exciting match. Daniel Bryan and Chris Jericho began the match, and had some compelling action inside the Chamber. Following entrances into the match from the other superstars, we eventually had six men in the ring, and chaos ensued. Mark Henry started off
dominant, making quick work of Daniel Bryan and Kane, eliminating them from the match. It was not the ideal night for Team Hell No, as their friendship underwent more damage, and neither were successful in the Chamber match. The WWE Universe were left gobsmacked, when Randy Orton was thrown into the glass as such a force, that he smashed through it. Later on in the match, there was another incredible moment, as Jack Swagger and Chris Jericho double suplexed the 416 lbs World's Strongest Man! It took three superstars in total to eliminate the favorite Mark Henry, first Jack Swagger and Chris Jericho double-teamed on him, before a Codebreaker into a thunderous RKO, and Mark Henry had been eliminated. We were down to three, Jericho, Orton and Swagger. As the three did battle in the squared circle and within the confines of the Chamber, an irate 
Mark Henry forced his way back into the structure, and attacked the remaining three with colossal World's Strongest Slams. Mark Henry had to be restrained by WWE officials and SmackDown managerial staff, but Mark Henry had left his mark in the Chamber. Randy Orton eliminated Chris Jericho with an RKO, before Jack Swagger saw an advantage and got a roll-up pin on Orton, securing a place to headline WrestleMania 29, everyone was not expecting. Jack Swagger will now go on to challenge Alberto Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Championship at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on April 7.The Shield managed to overcome three of WWE's top superstars, in an enthralling six-man tag team match.
The Shield's tactics seemed to work, by beating down John Cena among others. The Shield managed to maintain control for the majority of the contest, but chaos ensued in the latter part of the match. The action spilled to the outside, but eventually, the Ryback was preparing for Shellshocked on Seth Rollins, when Roman Reigns speared Ryback and Seth Rollins fell on him for the three count. Ryback had lost via pinfall, and was absolutely outraged about it, as he stormed of after the match. Even the Super Team of John Cena, Ryback and Sheamus could not get the job done, The Shield are a force to be reckoned with.
The Rock and CM Punk faced off in the main event in what was an epic and dramatic encounter.
The match had huge WrestleMania implications, and The Rock was disadvantaged too, because if he was Disqualified or counted out, he would lose the title. CM Punk's strategy was evident, he looked
to win it the easy way, by provoking The Rock to the extent of slapping and spitting on him. It almost worked, as The Rock had to be restrained by the referee. CM Punk then tried to get The Rock counted-out, by performing the Rockbottom (The Rock's signature move) on The Rock, and he almost lost by countout, but The Rock was able to make it in time just before it was too late. There was some very compelling action in this match, it surpassed the quality of the previous encounter at the Royal Rumble. CM Punk showed heart and courage, by kicking out of both The People's Elbow and 
Rockbottom. The drama ensued when the referee was knocked off the apron. CM Punk then delivered a GTS to The Rock, and pinned him. It was for more than three seconds, but as there was no referee active at that time, the match was still on. When he attempted a second GTS, The Rock went for the People's Elbow, and the replacement referee injured his ankle. It all concluded when The Rock Rockbottomed CM Punk, retaining his WWE Championship. The Rock will now headline WrestleMania, for the WWE Championship, against John Cena.And there you have it. The Road to WrestleMania is continuing, more buidling blocks have been laid for the big event in April, and it was a dramatic night of epic proportions, and huge WrestleMania implications. This has just escalated the excitement for WrestleMania, and the buzz around the WWE Universe is evident. WrestleMania is coming.
