Tonight’s show opens with a recap of Kane confronting Eve last week, saying that when Cena embraces the hate he will be in a better place, but if he doesn’t get there soon, he’s afraid for anyone in his path, and for the first time, afraid of himself.

Kane now on screen, says there is nothing he won’t do to make Cena embrace the hate. Tonight, Cena will embrace the hate AND someone WILL take a ride in an ambulance.

GM John Laurinaitis is still in charge. In ring, Jerry Lawler is in the ring for the first ever Elimination Chamber match debate with all competitors in the ring behind podiums. King will ask questions and they will have 45 seconds to respond. Start with CM Punk…..what makes him think he can walk out of Chamber still champion? Out comes GM Johnny. Says he’s so happy to be there, so happy for the Board of Directors support. Back to Punk’s answer. Punk says he gives his word debate will not end in violence, to “Clown Shoes” offers his congratulations in keeping the GM position, and that he is the best wrestler in the world. Jerry asks Dolph for rebuttal, but out comes shrieking Vicky, saying there should be no booing allowed. Dolph says everyone knows he’s better than Punk and that R-Truth doesn’t know what state they’re in. Truth says if he’s elected, he will trade Dolph and Vicky to Smackdown for Hornswoggle and a box of spiders and he will make it required to shout “WHAT” during every line of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Onto Y2J…..says he is surrounded by neophytes and that HE is the true best at everything. Says last time in Chamber, he walked out champion. Y2J turns to Punk, says look at me when I’m talking to you boy! Says go ahead and give him the title because he’s Punk’s master. Punk says “Were you talking to me?” Says he was thinking of Y2J finishing 7th on Dancing With the Stars. Dolph says this is all a joke (I agree).
