WWE Elimination Chamber 2012: Breakdown of Each Superstar in the 2012 Raw Match

In the hours leading up to the post-Royal Rumble Raw SuperShow, general manager John Laurinaitis revealed that CM Punk will defend his WWE Championship in the sinister Elimination Chamber later this month.

As the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations tries one last time to get the WWE Championship off Punk before WrestleMania this year, here’s a quick list on how the superstars have done in their appearances in Elimination Chamber.

Dolph Ziggler

Elimination Chamber Record: No Appearances

While not successful at the Royal Rumble with WWE Title, Dolph Ziggler will get another shot at becoming the WWE Champion later this month in his first appearance in the Elimination Chamber after losing to CM Punk Sunday night.

The Miz

Elimination Chamber Record: No Appearances

Even though he was the most must-see WWE Champion in the history of the WWE, the Miz will make the first appearance of his short career as he looks to make his second trip to the main event of Wrestlemania this April. 

R-Truth

Elimination Chamber Record: No Wins, No Eliminations

While being a participant in two Elimination Chambers the past two years, R-Truth was the first superstar eliminated in those matches, as he was sent to the back by CM Punk and Sheamus, respectively.

Kofi Kingston

Elimination Chamber Record: No Wins, One Elimination

The high-flyer from Ghana, West Africa has been in only one Elimination Chamber in his career, as Kingston participated in the Raw Chamber match in a losing effort during the 10th anniversary of the match during Elimination Chamber 2010.

CM Punk

Elimination Chamber Record: No Wins, Three Eliminations

As the WWE Champion enters Satan’s structure in three weeks, this year’s Elimination Chamber match will mark CM Punk’s fourth trip into the massive cage, as he was eliminated by John Cena last in the 2011 Raw Elimination Chamber match.

Chris Jericho

Elimination Chamber Record:  One Win, Six Eliminations

Following being the last superstar eliminated from the 2012 Royal Rumble, Chris Jericho will once again enter the Elimination Chamber for a fifth time in his WWE career, as Y2J won the SmackDown match in 2010 and tied for the record for most eliminations in the 13 contests held since 2002.
