Tonight’s Elimination Chamber main event featured a host of big names, and it doesn’t get much bigger than the WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. McIntyre was in the ring with Jeff Hardy, Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and Sheamus, and all attempted to get some hits in on the Champ. The biggest threat, however, was not someone in the match itself but someone lurking outside of the chamber, as The Miz attempted to cash in his Money in the Bank suitcase and contract on McIntyre after the match had left the Champion weakened since he had come into the match third.

McIntyre managed to put AJ Styles away with a Claymore, and while he stood tall, he was clearly tired. That’s when Bobby Lashley came in with a spear, and then threw McIntyre out of the ring and into the barricade. Lashley then put McIntyre in the Hurt Lock and slammed him down, clearly upset about the loss earlier in the night.

 

Then Miz came running to the ring and cashing in his Money in the Bank contract. He waited for McIntyre to get up and then went straight at him with a kick and a slam, but McIntyre kicked out of the pin attempt.

Miz then picked him up and went for the Skull Crushing Finale, and managed to get the pin and the win, becoming WWE Champion.
