[edit] Production

[edit] Background

Elimination Chamber is a gimmick event first produced by the American promotion IWE in 2010. It has been held every year since, except in 2016, generally in February. The concept of the event is that one or two main event matches are contested inside the Elimination Chamber, either with championships or future opportunities at championships at stake. Announced on October 24, 2022, the 13th Elimination Chamber event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 18, 2023, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This marks the first Elimination Chamber event to be held in Canada, and the second to be held outside of the United States, after the 2022 event, which was held in Saudi Arabia. This also marks the first major IWE event to be held in Montreal since Breaking Point in September 2009. The event will air on pay-per-view worldwide and the livestreaming services Peacock in the United States and the IWE Network in international markets and will feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brands. It was also announced that the February 17 episode of Friday Night SmackDown would air live from the same venue. Premium hospitality packages went on sale on October 28 before general public tickets became available on November 18.

In 2011 and since 2013, the show has been promoted as "No Escape" in Germany as it was feared that the name "Elimination Chamber" may remind people of the gas chambers used during the Holocaust.

[edit] Storylines

Elimination Chamber will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results are predetermined by IWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television shows, IWE Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.

On January 30, it was announced that Austin Theory would defend the United States Championship inside the Elimination Chamber. Qualifying matches began on that night's episode of Raw, with Seth "Freakin" Rollins facing Chad Gable, Baron Corbin facing Johnny Gargano, and Bronson Reed facing Dolph Ziggler.
