Elimination Chamber: Toronto (known as No Escape in Germany) is an upcoming 2025 professional wrestling event produced by the American company WWE. It will be the 15th Elimination Chamber event and will take place on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at the Rogers Centre in Toronto , Ontario, Canada. The event will air via pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming and will be held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The event is based around the Elimination Chamber match, a type of multi-person elimination-based Steel Cage match in which championships or future opportunities at championships are at stake.
This will be the first Elimination Chamber event in and the first WWE event to be held at the Rogers Centre since WrestleMania X8 in 2002 when it was still known as the SkyDome. This will also be the fourth consecutive Elimination Chamber to be held outside of the United States as well as the second to take place in an outdoor venue after the 2024 event.
Production
= Background
=Elimination Chamber is a professional wrestling event first produced by the American promotion WWE in 2010. It has been held every year since, except in 2016, generally in February. The concept of the event is that one or two main event matches are contested inside the Elimination Chamber, either with championships or future opportunities at championships at stake.
Announced on November 8, 2024, the 15th Elimination Chamber event, titled as Elimination Chamber: Toronto, is scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and will feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. This will mark the second Elimination Chamber event to be held in Canada, after 2023, and the fourth to be held outside of the United States, after the 2022, 2023, and 2024 events, which were held in Saudi Arabia, Canada (Montreal), and Australia, respectively. This will also mark WWE's first event to be held at the Rogers Centre since WrestleMania X8 in 2002 when the stadium was still known as the SkyDome. This will also be the second Elimination Chamber event to have a subtitle named after its host city and to take place in an outdoor venue, both after 2024.
The event will air on pay-per-view worldwide and be available to livestream on Peacock in the United States and Netflix in most other international markets following the WWE Network's worldwide shutdown and merger under Netflix in January 2025. Rogers Communications, the owner of Rogers Centre, has been a longstanding partner of WWE and its parent company TKO, having been its broadcast and WWE Network distribution partner in Canada from 2014 to 2024, and continuing as the Canadian broadcast partner of co-owned mixed martial arts promotion Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), WWE's sister company under TKO.
In 2011 and since 2013, the event has been promoted as "No Escape" in Germany as it was feared that the name "Elimination Chamber" may remind people of the gas chambers used during the Holocaust.
= Storylines
=The event will comprise matches that result from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by WWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.
On July 6, 2024, at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, John Cena officially announced that he would retire from professional wrestling at the end of 2025, having wrestled for WWE since 2002 (though part-time since 2018). Cena also stated that he would compete at Elimination Chamber, which would be his last Elimination Chamber event. It is unclear if Cena will be competing in an actual Elimination Chamber match or in another match.
