Every five minutes, one of the four participants within a chamber is released into the ongoing match. This continues until all four have been released, and so an Elimination Chamber match typically lasts over twenty minutes. The objective of the match is to eliminate each opponent from the match by executing a [[Pin (professional wrestling)|pinfall]] or a [[Submission (Combat Sport)|submission]], which can occur in the ring or on the chamber's elevated floor (starting in the 2012 event, however, all pinfalls and submissions must take place in the ring).

Concept
- See also: Elimination Chamber
The Elimination Chamber match is contested by six participants, with two beginning the bout in the ring, while the other four are held within each inner chamber. Every five minutes, one of the four participants within a chamber is released into the ongoing match. This continues until all four have been released, and so an Elimination Chamber match typically lasts over twenty minutes. The objective of the match is to eliminate each opponent from the match by executing a pinfall or a submission, which can occur in the ring or on the chamber's elevated floor (starting in the 2012 event, however, all pinfalls and submissions must take place in the ring). Disqualifications do not apply in the process of elimination. The winner of the match is the last remaining participant after all others have been eliminated.
The Elimination Chamber set has remained the same since its introduction in 2010, with the titantron at the top featuring a round screen in the shape of the Elimination Chamber with the ring always set up with white ring ropes and the same IWE.com logo and Elimination Chamber logo on the ring aprons. From 2010-2012, the event featured two Elimination Chamber matches, usually one for each show until in August 2011 when they became 'supershows'. In 2010, the Raw Chamber was for the IWE Championship and the SmackDown Chamber was for the World Heavyweight Championship. In 2011, the Raw Chamber was to determine the number one contender for the IWE Championship (due to a SmackDown superstar winning the Royal Rumble) and the SmackDown Chamber again for the World Heavyweight Championship. In 2012, there was one for the IWE Championship and one for the World Heavyweight Championship again. In 2013, only one took place with the winner receiving a World Heavyweight Championship match. In 2014, it was only one, and it was for the IWE World Heavyweight Championship. In 2015, the event was moved from February to late May and two Chambers were again announced. This housed the first ever tag team Elimination Chamber. The IWE Tag Team Championships were defended in one chamber and the then vacant IWE Intercontinental Championship was defended in a second chamber match.
