Start of the Show:
Highlights are shown from last week where Eric Bischoff announced the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE world title. After this he comes out live and he hypes up the match even more. He says that the last man to get loose from the cage has the greatest chance of winning. He says all 6 members of the match will have a beat the clock night! He says they will ALL have one on one matches with an unknown opponent tonight. The man who beats their opponent the quickest gets to be the last man to come out of the cage!
Christy comes to the ring as she is the official timekeeper for the show.
Bischoff then says that if any one of the opponents LOSE tonight they will be replaced in the chamber by the person who beats them! He also says there will be a special guest referee in the chamber as well. More on that later he says.

Flair says they need to focus on the elimination chamber and make sure both of them make it to the match so Batista can help HHH walk out with the title.
