Bengaluru, February 20: The 12th installment under the Elimination Chamber chronology was presented last night by the WWE for the first time outside the United States at the Jeddah Super Dome in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Men’s Chamber match headlined the show after which we received a new WWE Champion and thereby the confirmation of the main-event of Wrestlemania 38.

The Women’s Chamber match also decided another marquee match for 'Mania. Also, Raw Women’s Champion and the Universal Champion put their respective titles on the line at the gimmick-based WWE premium live event.

Check out the recap and results from the 2022 edition of Elimination Chamber:

– Rey Mysterio (with Dominik Mysterio) defeated The Miz in the Kickoff Pre-Show match. Miz tried to use a chair against Rey but Dominik prevented him from doing so.

The referee thought Dominik was trying to hit Miz and hence he got ejected. Miz sent Rey into the corner but Rey blocked the Skull Crushing Finale and rolled Miz up for an unexpected pin-fall win.

– In the opening match of Elimination Chamber 2022, Universal Champion Roman Reigns (c) defeated Goldberg to retain his title.

Goldberg connected with his pendant Spear and went for the Jackhammer but Roman applied the Guillotine submission to counter. He tightened the hold to choke out his opponent as the referee called for the match bell.

– Bianca Belair defeated Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Doudrop, and Nikki A.S.H to win the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match and become the Number-one Contender for WWE RAW Women’s Championship at Wrestlemania 38.

Lita went for another Twist of Fate but Becky blocked it and planted Lita with the Man-Handle Slam for the pin to win.

– SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos (c) vs. The Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar) never took place because Usos attacked the challengers inside the ring before the match could begin. The official had to rush out to the ring to stop The Usos.

– Brock Lesnar defeated Austin Theory, AJ Styles, Riddle, Seth Rollins, and Bobby Lashley (c) to win the Elimination Chamber Match For The WWE Championship in the main event slot.
