the elimination chamber set has remained the same since its introduction in 2010, with the titantron at the top featuring a round screen in the shape of the elimination chamber with the ring always set up with white ring ropes and the same "wwe.com" logo and elimination chamber logo on the ring aprons. from 2010-2012, the event featured two elimination chamber matches, usually one for each brand until august 2011 when the brand extension ended. in 2010, the raw chamber was for the wwe championship and the smackdown chamber was for the world heavyweight championship. in 2011, the raw chamber determined the number one contender for the wwe championship at wrestlemania xxvii (due to alberto del rio, a smackdown superstar, winning the royal rumble) and the smackdown chamber was again for the world heavyweight championship. in 2012, there was one chamber match for the wwe championship and one for the world heavyweight championship. in 2013, only one chamber match took place with the winner receiving a world heavyweight championship match (in december 2013, the wwe championship and world heavyweight championship were unified). in 2014, there was only one chamber match and it was for the wwe world heavyweight championship. in 2015, the event was moved from february to late may and two chambers were announced. the first housed the first-ever tag team elimination chamber match, which was for the wwe tag team championship. the second chamber match was for the vacant wwe intercontinental championship. the event was discontinued in 2016, however, it was reinstated in 2017 as a smackdown-exclusive event (the brand extension returned in july 2016) and moved back to february. the main event was a chamber match for the wwe championship. in 2018, elimination chamber was a raw-exclusive event prior to new changes for the 2018 pay-per-view schedule which included the first ever women's chamber match for the wwe raw women's championship and the first seven-man chamber match for a wwe universal championship match at wrestlemania 34. the 2019 elimination chamber event was the first dual-branded event since 2011. it included a tag team chamber match that determined the inaugural holders of the wwe women's tag team championship.
