The 2024 Elimination Chamber (known as No Escape in Germany or as Elimination Chamber: Perth officially) is the upcoming 14th Elimination Chamber professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It will be held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The event will take place on Saturday, February 24, 2024, at the Optus Stadium in Perth, Western Australia, Australia, marking WWE's first event to be be held in Australia since Super Show-Down in October 2018. This will also be the third Elimination Chamber to be held outside of the United States, after the 2022 and 2023 events.
Production
Background
Elimination Chamber is a gimmick event first produced by the American promotion WWE 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.[1]
Announced on September 21, 2023, the 14th Elimination Chamber event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 24, 2024, at the Optus Stadium in Perth, Western Australia, Australia, and will feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. This marks the first Elimination Chamber event to be held in Australia, and the third to be held outside of the United States, after the 2022 and 2023 events which were held in Saudi Arabia and Canada, respectively. This also marks WWE's first event to be be held in Australia since Super Show-Down in October 2018.[2][3] The event will air on pay-per-view worldwide and will be available to livestream on Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network in most international markets. It will also livestream on Binge in Australia after the Australian version of the WWE Network merged under Foxtel's channel Binge in January.[4]
In 2011 and since 2013, the event 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.[5][6]
Storylines
The event 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 WWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands,[7][8] while storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.[9]
