Description

Elimination Chamber (2015) (also known as No Escape (2015) in Germany) was a professional wrestling event produced by WWE. It took place on May 31, 2015, at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas. The sixth annual Elimination Chamber event, it was the first to be held in May; previous incarnations had taken place in February. Although advertised as being exclusive to the WWE Network, the event ultimately aired via traditional pay-per-view outlets in various territories.

On May 17, it was announced that an Elimination Chamber match for the vacant Intercontinental Championship would be held at the event. On the May 18 episode of Raw, R-Truth, Sheamus, King Barrett, Ryback, Dolph Ziggler, and Rusev were added to the match. On May 31, it was announced on WWE.com that Rusev would be unable to compete at the event because of an injury that he suffered on the May 28th edition of "SmackDown". During the event, it was announced that Mark Henry will replace Rusev's spot in the match.

At Payback, The New Day defeated Tyson Kidd and Cesaro to retain the Tag Team Championship in a 2-out-of-3 falls Tag team match. Later in the event, it was announced that The New Day would defend the titles in the first-ever Tag team Elimination Chamber match at the event. On the May 18 episode of Raw, it was announced that Kidd and Cesaro, Los Matadores, The Ascension, The Lucha Dragons, and The Prime Time Players were added to the match.

On the May 18 episode of Raw, NXT Champion Kevin Owens answered United States Champion John Cena's weekly United States Championship Open Challenge. However, instead of fighting Cena, Owens attacked him, saying they would fight on his "own terms." Later in the night, Owens was granted a match by Triple H to face Cena at the event.

On the May 18 episode of Raw, Dean Ambrose challenged WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins to a title match at the event, but Rollins refused. Later in the night, Ambrose attacked Rollins until The Authority granted Ambrose a title match against Rollins at the event. On the last RAW before Elimination Chamber, The Authority tried to get out of awarding Ambrose the title match with a plan where Ambrose had to sign the contract to make it official but for attacking Rollins, Ambrose was taken away from the arena in a police van but he drove it into the arena at the end of RAW and he signed the contract for the match, so the Authority's plan backfired and Ambrose would face Rollins at the event for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

At Payback, Naomi and Tamina defeated Nikki Bella and Brie Bella. On the May 18 episode of Raw, in a Divas Championship match, after Nikki defeated Naomi by disqualification, Paige returned from injury and attacked both Nikki and Naomi. On the May 21 episode of SmackDown, Naomi and Tamina attacked Paige before Nikki attacked Naomi, Tamina and Paige. It was then announced that Nikki would defend the title against Paige and Naomi in a triple threat match at the event with Tamina banned from the match.

On the May 18 episode of Raw, Bo Dallas confronted Neville during his interview with Renee Young. After King Barrett defeated Neville, Dallas attacked Neville. On the May 25 episode of Raw, after Neville defeated Stardust, Dallas attacked Neville. It was announced that Neville would face Dallas at the event.

On the May 25 episode of Raw, it was announced that the pre-show would feature a special broadcast of "Miz TV" with Daniel Bryan as the special guest.
