1 -- WWE TAG TITLE ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH -- WWE tag champions NEW DAY (KOFI KINGSTON & BIG E. & KOFI KINGSTON) vs. PRIME TIME PLAYERS (TITUS O'NEIL & DARREN YOUNG) vs. TYSON KIDD & CESARO (w/Natalya) vs. LOS MATADORES (DIEGO y FERNANDO w/El Torito) vs. LUCHA DRAGONS (KALISTO & SIN CARA) vs. THE ASCENSION (KONNOR & VIKTOR)
Texas Tornado-style start with The Ascension battling Lucha Dragons in the ring. Lucha Dragons used their speed to dominate early on. Kalisto then found himself on top of New Day's pod looking for a high-flying move, but his foot fell through the top of the pod. New Day tried to rough up Kalisto as he tried to free himself, then Lucha Dragons and Ascension tried to set up another spot, but Kalisto couldn't balance himself on top of the pod, so New Day pulled him down again, which worked to draw boos and "New ... Day Sucks" chants.
The strange opening sequence eventually gave way to Kidd & Cesaro entering the Chamber match from their pod. JBL referenced Kidd & Cesaro executing a Dudley Boys-like maneuver, then Kidd tried to get Kalisto off the pod roof, but it didn't work. So, Cesaro decided to superplex Kalisto off the pod roof, freeing Kalisto in the process. Kidd then hit a springbaord elbow on Kalisto, but Sin Cara broke up the pin.
Ascension got involved next. The action picked up, so Lawler had a flashback telling "J.R." to watch this. Cole and JBL wondered what's wrong with him referencing Jim Ross. The countdown clock eventually expired to bring out Los Matadores. El Torito also joined the match by jumping off their pod with a head scissors to Cesaro. Suddenly, Kalisto went Ultimate X by climbing to the top of the structure. He dangled in the air, hung upside down, waited for the entire group of wrestlers to stand there waiting to base for his spot, swing around some more on the monkey bars, and finally drop down onto wrestlers below. Rough start for Kalisto. El Torito then tried a similar spot on The Ascension, but they caught him and spiked him into the corner. Ascension then dropped un Matador with Fall of Man for the first elimination.
*** Los Matadores eliminated by Ascension at 10:22 ***
Ascension quickly targeted Lucha Dragons and scored another elimination with Fall of Man one minute later.
*** Lucha Dragons eliminated by Ascension at 11:20 ***
The announcers hyped Ascension looking the best since they arrived in WWE. After Ascension briefly battled Kidd & Cesaro, the countdown clock expired to bring out Prime Time Players. O'Neil and D-Young came firing out of their pod with clubbing blows to The Ascension. The Players built on their initially flurry and scored a pinfall to eliminate Ascension.
*** Ascension eliminated by PTPers at 13:30 ***
The Players battled Kidd & Cesaro until the final countdown clock expired to bring out the defending WWE tag champs New Day, who were granted the final entry in the match thanks to Kane and The Authority. New Day quickly targeted the four remaining wrestlers as the crowd chanted "New ... Day Sucks." Suddenly, the four remaining wrestlers blocked a big suplex and delivered a triple suplex on New Day. Kidd and Cesaro then locked Xavier inside a pod, trying to remove him from the equation.
Cesaro put Kofi in the Big Swing, and Kidd finished him off with a basement dropkick. But, D-Young took advantage of Cesaro being focused on New Day by grabbing him for a quick roll-up to get a surprise three count. Kidd was stunned by their team being eliminated, leaving New Day and the Players in the match.
*** Kidd & Cesaro eliminated by PTP'ers at 18:28 ***
New Day freed Xavier from his pod, then beat down Prime Time Players with the three-on-two advantage. New Day placed Titus's head inside the Chamber wall, then pounded on his head and neck. D-Young was left alone, but he escaped a three-man disadvantage and shoved Big E. into one of the "glass" pods. New Day recovered in their corner while D-Young freed Titus from the Chamber wall. Titus exploded on Xavier with a big boot, then he repeatedly chucked Big E. into the Chamber wall. Titus did the same to Kofi before chucking him into the ring.
D-Young delivered his fallaway gutbuster finish to Kofi, but he did not make an immediate cover, so Kofi kicked out just before three. Young tried to attack Big E. on the platform outside of the ring, but Big E. bodyslammed D-Young onto the platform. The numbers game then caught up to Titus, who took Trouble in Paradise from Kofi. All three New Day members jumped on top of Titus for a dog-pile cover, which was good for a three count. Afterward, Cole was produced to "evaluate the match" instead of trying to build heat on the heels.
WINNERS: New Day at 23:40 to retain the WWE Tag Titles. So-so Chamber match. They spaced out the eliminations so it wasn't a disorganized, overly-chaotic match, but some of the early spots were off, creating an uphill battle for the rest of the match. (**1/2)
