No way out? No problem!

Tonight's Pay Per View No Way Out promises to be brutal, bloody and spectacular. Two elimination chamber matches and many championship matches will be viewed by all of us fans sitting at home watching on the edge of our seats. So to quote the best duo WWE has ever seen DX, ARE YOU READY?

CM Punk from ECW will be in the first match tonight at No Way Out. He is facing the new ECW champ Chavo Guerrero for the title back. I have to admit that when Eddie Guerrero and Chavo used to run together, I loved them. However since the death of Eddie Guerrero a few years ago, Chavo has not been on my favorites list at all. He's just not the same. CM Punk seems to be in good form early on in this match, but never underestimate a Guerrero, Chavo gets him out of the ring onto the floor below. Punk makes it back in the ring and this battle continues. A barrage of kicks to Punk gives Chavo a slight advantage. Guerrero gets a leg lock around the middle of Punk trying to squeeze the life out of the past champ. Punk doesn't let that happen and he launches Guerrero into the turnbuckle. Punk gets a cover, but Chavo kicks out. A nice reversal with a hurricarana saves the fate of Chavo as he avoids Punk. Punk gets a second cover, but to no avail. Punk is looking for the GTS, but Chavo gets the ropes. The champ then finds himself on his back on the outside. Punk gets Chavo back into the ring before the count reaches 10 from the ref. These two battle it out on the top ropes, Chavo pushed Punk down and Punk rattles the rope and Chavo finds himself with the rope between his legs. CM Punk tries to counter but Chavo has another idea. Chavo gets the huge frog splash that wins him this match, retaining him the coveted championship.

Mike Adamle is interviewing Rey Mysterio about what happened Friday night on Smackdown. Mysterio and Edge went at it, Rey delivered the 619 to the champ. Rey then went up top and tried to take out the Rated R superstar but Edge moved out of the way just in time and Rey accidentally landed on the general manager Vickie Guerrero who had just accepted a proposal of marriage from Edge. Vickie will not be at No Way out tonight due to her injury. Rey says it was a total accident and that he will not say he's sorry again!

The elimination chamber match for Smackdown will begin next. MVP, Big Daddy V, Undertaker, the Great Khali, Finlay and Batista will face off for the chance to go to Wrestlemania to face the champion for a shot at the title. Undertaker and Batista will start the match off with the other 4 men in the plexiglass pods looking on for their chance to come out and play. The slugfest begins as these two awesome athletes wear each other down bit by bit. Undertaker presses Batista's head against the chain of the chamber. First blood has yet to be drawn, but I'm sure that time is coming. Undertaker is dominating Batista and slowing the animal down quite a bit. The pheonom kicks and stomps his opponent showing the other four competitors what awaits then when their pod opens. Batista fights back finally and gets Undertaker down on the mat. A quick cover, but Undertaker kicks out. Both men boot each other in the face and they both fall to the mat.

Big Daddy V is the next one to enter this match. He goes after the Undertaker but doesn't forget that Batista is over in the other corner either. He is simply manhandling the two superstars before him. It's easy to see that the 500lb man definitely has the advantage in this match up. V stands on the Undertaker with his full weight on the dead man. Undertaker turns a little purple but V moves and goes to work on Batista. Undertaker is knocked out of the elimination chamber by V and goes right out to the floor. Ouch! It appears that Undertaker injured his elbow in the fall from the chamber. V rushes and crushes Batista against a corner of the ring. Batista manages to get a spinebuster on the huge man! The Undertaker delivers a huge DDT to Big Daddy V who is covered and eliminated by Batista. Undertaker manages to get a shoulder up and avoid being eliminated too.

Khali is the next into this match up. Khali dominates both Batista and Undertaker right from the start in this match. Undertaker fights back and gets the choke slam hold on Khali who just shoves Undertaker to the ground. Batista then avoids a count out by Khali. Khali then manages to get the vice grip on the skull of Batista. Batista gets out of it and Undertaker then knocks the wind out of Batista. Undertaker gets a head submission on Khali who immediately taps out and is eliminated. Then there were 4! Undertaker and Batista continue the battle as the next opponent is revealed. Finlay is next in.

Finlay started strong out of the pod, however the Undertaker shows him who's boss immediately. Finlay doesn't stand for that, he gets the Celtic Cross on the Undertaker, after throwing Batista over the ropes to the outside where the steel awaits. Finlay's face meets the steel at the hands of Batista and it's getting brutal folks. A huge boot and clothesline to Batista by the Undertaker, takes Batista to the mat. Finlay tries to capitalize and cover Batista, but Batista kicks out. Finlay then battles Undertaker into the steel chamber. Finlay goes for the cover on the dead man, but Undertaker kicks out. Finlay pushes the Undertaker into the pod busting it wide open. Batista then takes on Finlay and gets a cover, but Finlay gets out of it.

MVP is the last man in and he's holding the sliding door shut as Undertaker goes in after him. MVP is taken out and down in his pod and hasn't even gotten into the ring yet. Batista and Undertaker go at each other again while MVP and Finlay recoop. MVP tries to get a cover on Undertaker and doesn't get it. MVP gets his chain and strangles Finlay with it. MVP then goes back to work on the Undertaker. He goes for another cover, as Undertaker gets up. Undertaker is bleeding from the forehead and these men are getting pelted by the fresh man MVP. MVP pelts Undertaker with fists but Undertaker keeps coming. MVP goes to the top of the pod and is tossed off by Undertaker. Finlay gets the cover and MVP is eliminated! Undertaker is on the top rope and tries to land on Finlay, but Finlay moves and Undertaker lands on his elbow again tonight. Hornswaggle appears from under the ring and slides Finlay's weapon of choice in to him. Undertaker then choke slams Finlay on the outside of the chamber on the steel grating. Finlay is eliminated. Batista is now also bleeding and opened up in this match. It's down to Batista and Undertaker!

Both men have got to be tired as they exchange blows to each other like a couple of boxers in the ring. Batista lands the Batista bomb and goes for the cover. Undertaker kicks out at 2 1/2. It's not over yet! Batista pummels Undertaker with a barrage of fists to the head, and goes for the last ride as Undertaker defends himself. Undertaker goes for the cover and Batista kicks out at 2 1/2. It's crazy! Undertaker then delivers some fists of his own to the skull of Batista. Undertaker is going for the kill as he tries to set up for the tombstone piledriver. However Batista knows better and tosses Undertaker over the rope to the steel of the chamber. The blood flows as these two men battle for a chance at the main event at Wrestlemania. As Batista is ramming Undertaker into the steel over and over, Undertaker counters by going back over the top rope, landing on his feet and putting Batista up into the tombstone. Undertaker wins this chamber match and will be going to Wrestlmania ladies and gentlemen! (And we all know he has never lost at Wrestlemania, so we'll be having a new champ soon on Smackdown! Will it be 16-0?)

Edge is back in his room backstage freaking out because Undertaker just won the chamber match. He tries to get his boys involved by giving them instructions on what to do during his match tonight, however Mr. Theodore Long interrupts the great plan in action. Since Vicki is out tonight he's in charge and the two rated R underlings are banned from ringside during Edge's match tonight against Rey Mysterio. Ha ha ha!

Ric Flair and Mr. Kennedy fight it out. Flair trying to keep his career, Kennedy trying to end it! Just remember Kennedy to be the man, you have to beat the man! Kennedy is a strong opponent that's for sure, however Ric has been doing this longer than Kennedy has been alive! It's experience over youth at this point. Kennedy remembers that Ric's knees is not at 100% and he goes to work on it. Kennedy gets a half Boston crab on Flair trying to get the Nature Boy to tap out. Flair gets to the ropes, saving himself. Kennedy continues to work that hurt knee. He's at least playing it smart tonight. Always know your opponent's weakness and exploit it at all costs. Kennedy gets a figure 4 around the ring post on an agonizing Flair. Kennedy then adds insult to injury mocking Flair. Kennedy tries to get the figure 4 on Flair, but it's not locked in completely yet. Ric is yelling in pain and I'm not sure how much more he's got in him. Flair again gets to the ropes. Kennedy gets a nice drop on Flair and goes for the cover. Flair gets his shoulders up. Flair then gets a cheap shot in on Kennedy's knee. Kennedy pulls Flair's tights almost off and goes for the cover. The ref notices that Kennedy is using the ropes for leverage, and breaks up the cover. Ric Flair gets the figure 4 on Kennedy and Kennedy taps like a little girl! Once again the Nature Boy lives to fight another day!

Mr. McMahon confronts Finlay backstage asking how Finlay is going to like seeing Hornswaggle in the steel cage match tomorrow night on Raw. Finlay is not allowed to be involved in that match or else he will be fired by Mr. McMahon. Poor Hornswaggle!

Edge and Rey Mysterio battle it out for the World Heavyweight Championship next. Mysterio comes out first. Edge then comes out totally confident like usual. Rey is fighting with one good arm tonight after admitting that he's fighting with a torn bicep. He must rely on his quickness and his feet to do the work for him. An early boot to the face connects with Mysterio and Edge capitalizes momentarily. Mysterio gets out of the ring and takes a little walk. Edge baseball slides out of the ring and battles Mysterio on the outside. Running Mysterio right into the steel steps injured arm first. Edge is working on that injured arm of Mysterio knowing that is his chance to win it all and retain his title. Edge goes for a full run at Mysterio who is hanging upside down in the corner, but Mysterio pulls himself upright and Edge slides right into the ring post nuts first. Two covers on Edge almost win it for Mysterio, but Edge is kicking out and using the ropes to save himself. Mysterio lands the 619 on Edge but is having a hard time getting up to get the cover. Edge then catches Mysterio in midair with a spear and gets the cover. Edge wins it quick and easy tonight. Mysterio must really be hurt to have this match over so quickly. I hope he will be ok!

Out of no where comes the Big Show! He looks really good! He's lost weight and looks very healthy! Holy crap has he lost weight! WOW! "Guess who's back?" He has really missed wrestling since he left. "I will be a champion again!" He doesn't care if it's Raw, Smackdown or ECW. He's going to make good on his word. So which brand is he going to be on this time, we shall have to wait and see. He's down to 180 pounds! He was over 300 before. He then grabs the injured Rey Mysterio who is being walked out of the arena, and makes a scene out of Mysterio. Rey Mysterio's friend who is sitting ringside goes in to help him. The welterweight champion of boxing bloodies Big Show's nose then makes a fast retreat out of the arena. Big Show goes after him but is stopped by Shane McMahon. (We will get sued are the words I saw Shane mouth) Big Show leaves the arena and is bloody and not too pretty right now. Mayweather hit Show three times to bloody that nose. Boxers don't play and a boxer could get in the ring and mess up a wrestler any day of the week, no doubt in my mind! I still love my wrestler's though!

John Cena and Randy Orton are bitter rivals who are competing for the championship tonight. 4 months ago Randy Orton sidelined Cena with a torn pectoral muscle injury that doctors said would take 8-12 months to recover from. Well Cena made him comeback a few weeks ago at the Royal Rumble coming in at #30. He wasn't about to miss his shot to go to Wrestlemania and tonight he's gunning to get his championship back, since he never technically lost it to Randy Orton in the first place. Orton was rewarded the title after beating Triple H for the title last year after Cena was injured. Cena is here to regain what is rightfully his and Orton is here to keep what he thinks he deserves. The lockup takes place and Cena gets an inside cradle on Orton right off the back. Orton kicks out of the first and a second cover by Cena. Chants of "Let's go Orton, Let's go Cena" fill the arena. Orton gets some good hits on Cena taking him from one corner to the other. A huge counter by Cena gets another cover on Orton, Orton kicks out. A fourth quick cover yet Orton remembers to kick out yet again. Orton chops his way to getting Cena on the mat. As he hams it up for the crowd, Orton almost loses his title as Cena rolls him up for yet another cover. Orton gets Cena in the ropes and battles him there for a minute. Orton tries to grab Cena's head, and Cena bounces Orton's face off the top rope. Then Cena flies high and gets another cover that Orton swiftly kicks out of. Orton then resorts to choking Cena to weaken him down so he's not so aggressive. Cena sets up for an FU, but Orton counters and knocks Cena back to the mat again. Orton then begins the stomp fest on Cena's legs and body. Orton does deliberately stomp on the surgically repaired pectoral muscle of Cena.

Orton goes for a knee to the shoulder of Cena, but he misses. Cena battles back but Orton gets Cena in a choke hold submission move. Cena battles out of it eventually and gets a running start on the champ. A much deserved 5 knuckle shuffle finds Orton unprepared. Orton tries to walk out of the arena, but Cena stops him in his tracks. Both men jump back in the ring on 9 as the ref counts down for the count out. A barrage of fists fly as these two men go at it again. Randy gets a nice counter on Cena then goes for the cover. Cena gets his shoulder up on 2. Cena flies high and tries to land on the champ but lands on his butt instead. Orton is now stalking Cena. Orton sets up for an RKO, but Cena counters and gets the STFU on Orton. Will this win it for Cena? Orton tries desperately to get to the ropes. Orton makes it to the ropes and the hold is broken. Orton leaves the ring again and takes a breather. He's on the outside screaming about his knee. Orton then gets the RKO on Cena on the outside as he screams about his knee. He then climbs back into the ring and the count begins. Cena is not moving. He climbs back in at 9 again. Orton then slaps the ref to get himself disqualified so he keeps his title. Cena tries to get the ref to reverse the call for the bell, but it's no use. The match is over. Cena wins by DQ. Cena gets the STFU on Orton who is madly tapping out but there is no ref to count it. Cena is pissed and has every right to be, he was cheated out of a real chance at the title here tonight. Cena's Royal Rumble win was in vain because he will not be going to Wrestlemania. Orton is so proud of himself, it really makes me sick! Yuck!

The final match tonight will be the Raw elimination chamber match tonight. Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho, Umaga and JBL will battle it out for a shot at Randy Orton at Wrestlemania. Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels will kick off this chamber match. Just like the the Smackdown chamber match the other four opponents are locked in pods looking on as they await their chance to come out and make their mark on this match up. Michaels and Jericho exchange chops and then the counters and reversals on the mat begins. Finally both men are on their feet and Jericho gets the pin on Michaels who then bridges up to get out of it. A backbreaker by Jericho pauses Shawn for just a moment. The men go back to exchanging blows again. Michaels powers back and gets Jericho on the mat, Michaels flies high but is deflected by the knees of Jericho. Jericho goes for the walls of Jericho on Michaels, but is kicked off my Michaels who then gets a near fall on Jericho.

Umaga is the next man in and he immediately begins knocking down the two mean in the ring. Jericho gets tossed outside to the steel grating. The two men try to take down Umaga, but a double clothesline lands them both on their backs. Umaga then gets a double Samoan drop on both Jericho and Michaels! (Yes, he had them both on his shoulders!) Michaels gets kicked to the outside on the steel grating next. Umaga then headbutts Jericho in the chest. Umaga goes back and forth from Michaels to Jericho. Umaga tries to splash Jericho but Jericho moves only leaving Umaga open for a high flying elbow from Michaels. Jericho gets the walls of Jericho on Umaga. Shawn Michaels then gets the cross face on Umaga too, it's a double submission.!

JBL is the next man in and he breaks up the submissions that are being held to go after Jericho. JBL is brutalizing Jericho right now, while Umaga continues to beat on Michaels. Michaels is already busted open but Umaga doesn't stop. JBL and Jericho are still battling it out in the ring. JBL has got Jericho on the outside on the steel now too. Umaga takes Michaels inside the ring. He then kicks Michaels right over the top rope. Damn.

Triple H is in next. He immediately goes for Umaga, but then takes down JBL too. Triple H is cleaning house. JBL gets headbutted with Umaga by Triple H at one point. Umaga gets tossed into a pod by Triple H, then JBL gets a clothes line from Hell on Triple H while he tries to set up Jericho for the pedigree. JBL is eliminated by Jericho. JBL then takes steel chairs to everyone in the ring including Umaga. It's all legal. Everyone in the ring is down and not moving very well right now. Jeff Hardy should have his work cut out for him.

The rainbow haired warrior is the last man in tonight as he goes to work on his opponents. Jericho sets up as a step as Hardy goes up for Umaga. A huge boot to the face by Umaga knocks Hardy down. Umaga manhandles the Game. Michaels tries to power back against Umaga, but gets tossed to the steel grating on the outside of the ring again for his effort. Jericho gets his head put through a pod by Umaga's butt. Sweet Chin music finds Umaga, a jawbreaker from Jericho, a pedigree from Triple H and a Swanton bomb from Hardy takes out Umaga! Damn! Sweet chin music finds Jericho and Hardy gets him eliminated. A twist of fate finds Shawn Michaels, but Triple H tosses Jeff out. Triple H then pedigrees Michaels for the elimination then eyes Hardy. It's down to 2! Triple H and Hardy battle on the steel grating. Hardy gets a DDT on Triple H on the steel. Hardy is beating Triple H like a government mule. Triple H is busted open. Pure aggression from Hardy just might win him his shot at the gold. Triple H tries to set Hardy up for the Pedigree but Hardy counters and tosses Triple H back into the ring. Triple H finally lands the pedigree, but Hardy kicks out! Triple H is in shock! Triple H grabs a steel chair. He sets Hardy up for another Pedigree, but Hardy gets a low blow on Triple H, then the twist of fate of countered by Triple H and lands Hardy on the steel chair. Triple H gets the pedigree then a cover and wins this chamber match! Triple H will face Randy Orton at Wrestlemania!

That's it folks! This show is over and there will be lots to look forward too in the coming weeks leading up to Wrestlemania which is on March 30th! Until then, stay tuned in and let me entertain you!
