What's the story?
At the 2019 Elimination Chamber PPV, inside the Elimination Chamber, Daniel Bryan retained his WWE Championship, defeating the last opponent, Kofi Kingston.
Bryan entered the ring first, defeating AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton, and Samoa Joe in the match.
In doing so, Bryan became only the fourth Superstar to win the Elimination Chamber more than once, as he joins the likes of John Cena, Edge, and Triple H.
In case you didn't know...
In the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship, Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe kicked things off with Joe taking control of the match in the early stages.
But Joe was the first one to be eliminated, as he fell to AJ Styles' Phenomenal Forearm. Jeff Hardy was the second Superstar to be eliminated after Bryan hit him with the running knee, and he was followed to the locker room next by former WWE Champion, AJ Styles, who fell victim to Randy Orton's RKO.
Kofi Kingston, who was added just last week to the match to replace Mustafa Ali, eliminated Orton with Trouble in Paradise, and then Kingston and Bryan had a tremendous bout, where the crowd cheered and cajoled Kingston to capture his first WWE title, only for him to fall short.
The heart of the matter
Daniel Bryan became only the fourth Superstar to win the Elimination Chamber more than one time, as he added a second Elimination Chamber win after his win in the 2012 event.
Triple H currently has the most Elimination Chamber wins with 4, followed by John Cena who has 3 wins, while WWE Hall of Famer, Edge, has won it twice.
What's next?
The next PPV after Elimination Chamber is Fastlane.
