The Elimination Chamber match is one of the most barbaric structure concepts innovated by the WWE back in the last decade. The entire cage is made of pure steel chains with four pods inside it to lock in four WWE Superstars inside it.
In combined, six men participate in it. So, the rest of the two male athletes start the match.

Every five minutes, a superstar gets released from the pod and added to the match. The match continues with superstars getting eliminated via general pinfall or submission rules. The last one to remain unpinned gets declared as the winner.
.@StephMcMahon can put any roadblock she wants in my way. But as YOUR #Raw Women’s Champion, no woman or structure will change that. I will be in the main event of #WrestleMania and leave with my title reign intact. #GoddessAboveAll

Over the years, we have seen some devastating moments to take place inside this structure. So, the female superstars were never allowed to enter the structure, till date.
But, in the midst of Women’s Evolution, there’s nothing that the women can’t do. So, they will be given a first-ever chance to compete inside this structure on February 25th.
