Samoa Joe entered the 2019 WWE Championship Chamber match and was a dominant force, but he was eliminated early. With his hard-hitting style and incredible in-ring ability, Joe deserved at least one big Chamber win during his WWE run.
While CM Punk won two Chamber matches (2012 WWE Championship and 2012 No Way Out), his 2011 Chamber loss stands out. Many fans wanted to see Punk dethrone John Cena and head into WrestleMania 27 as champion, but he was eliminated after a strong showing. A win here could have changed his WWE trajectory.
Rey Mysterio has come agonizingly close to winning a Chamber match multiple times, including in 2009 and 2011, where he made it to the final two before being eliminated. As an ultimate underdog, a Chamber victory could have been another incredible milestone in his career.
Jeff Hardy was in several Chamber matches, most notably in 2008 and 2009, where he was among the final competitors. His performance in the 2008 No Way Out match against Triple H was legendary, but WWE never pulled the trigger on a Chamber win during his peak years.
In 2018, Braun Strowman set the record for the most eliminations in a single Chamber match (5) but still lost to Roman Reigns in the final moments. Many fans felt Braun should have won and gone on to challenge Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 34.
Drew McIntyre successfully defended the WWE Championship in 2021, but he never actually won a Chamber match to earn a title shot. Given his dominant run, a win inside the structure (instead of just defending) would have solidified his status as a top-tier champion.
Despite being in eight Elimination Chamber matches, Chris Jericho only won one (2010). Given his legendary career and ability to steal the show, he deserved at least one more Chamber victory, especially during his peak years.
Kofi Kingston's performance in the 2019 Chamber was one of the best underdog stories ever. He made it to the final two against Daniel Bryan, and the crowd was electric. Though he later won the WWE Title at WrestleMania 35, a Chamber victory would have made his story even better.
AJ Styles has been in multiple Elimination Chamber matches (2017, 2019, 2021, 2022) and always delivered top-tier performances. He made it to the final three several times but was never given a major victory. A Chamber win would have cemented his WWE dominance.
Kane was in five different Elimination Chamber matches but never won. He was an absolute monster inside the structure, and a victory—especially during his World Heavyweight Championship runs—would have been fitting for The Big Red Machine.
