Elimination Chamber (2012) (also known as No Way Out (2012) in Germany)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WWE Germany )〕 was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by WWE. It took place on February 19, 2012 at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bradleycenter.com/events/detail/wwe-elimination-chamber )〕 and featured talent from the Raw and SmackDown brands. The pay-per-view was the third annual Elimination Chamber event. The event garnered 178,000 pay-per-view buys, down from 199,000 buys the previous year's event received. ==Background== Elimination Chamber featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that were played out on ''Raw'', ''SmackDown'', and ''WWE Superstars''—WWE's television programs. Wrestlers portrayed villains or heroes as they followed a series of events that built tension, and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Live & Televised Entertainment of World Wrestling Entertainment )〕 The first match was announced by Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis on January 30, 2012, on WWE's website. The announcement stated that there will be a Raw Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship. In the match, CM Punk will defend his championship against Dolph Ziggler, Chris Jericho, The Miz, R-Truth, and Kofi Kingston. The following week on ''Raw'', Jericho won a Six-Pack Challenge featuring all six Elimination Chamber participants to earn the right to enter the match last. On February 3, 2012, it was announced that there will also be a SmackDown Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship. In the match, Daniel Bryan will defend his championship against Cody Rhodes, Wade Barrett, Big Show, The Great Khali, and Santino Marella. Originally, Mark Henry was named as a participant in the match, but was removed from the contest and suspended indefinitely by SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long for threatening him.〔 The Great Khali replaced him in the match. Randy Orton was also originally a participant in the match, but suffered a concussion after World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan hit him over the head with the title belt on the February 13, 2012 episode of ''Raw''. His replacement would be Santino Marella, who won a battle royal on the February 17, 2012 episode of ''SmackDown''. John Cena and Kane began feuding in December 2011, with Kane targeting Cena due to his T-shirt slogan, "Rise Above Hate". To play psychological games with Cena, Kane began targeting Cena's friend Zack Ryder and his on-screen girlfriend, Eve Torres, attacking Ryder and cornering Eve in a variety of situations, all in an effort to make Cena "embrace the hate."〔 On February 6, an Ambulance match stipulation was announced for the match between Kane and Cena. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elimination Chamber (2012)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
