 * Event

Before the live broadcast of the event began, Chavo Guerrero Jr. defeated Snitsky in a match that aired on WWE's Heat webshow. The first match of the event was for the WWE Intercontinental Championship between champion Ric Flair and Edge, who was accompanied by Lita. Towards the end of the match, Lita attempted to interfere on Edge's behalf. Flair, however, stopped Lita and applied the figure-four leglock on her. Edge, who was the holder of the Money in the Bank contract, then hit Flair with the Money in the Bank briefcase, and was disqualified as a result. Flair retained the title and was declared the winner. The next match on the card was Trish Stratus versus Mickie James for the WWE Women's Championship. The match was evenly controlled between the two, as both women were able to gain the advantage. Stratus pinned James following a Chick Kick to win the match and retain the Women's Championship.

The third match was Gregory Helms versus Jerry Lawler. In the opening minutes of the match, Lawler mocked Helms' former gimmick, The Hurricane. Helms, however, controlled most of the match, as he was able to perform a series of vertical suplexes. As Helms climbed to the top rope to perform an aerial maneuver, Lawler knocked him off and executed a diving fist drop. Lawler pinned Helms afterwards to win the bout. The match that followed saw Triple H face off against The Big Show. Big Show came into the match with a cast over his kayfabe broken right hand. Triple H attacked Big Show's broken hand throughout the match, as he managed to tear off his cast. After hitting Big Show in the head with a sledgehammer, Triple H performed a Pedigree and pinned Big Show to win the match.

The following match was an impromptu match between Shelton Benjamin, who was accompanied by his kayfabe mother, Momma Benjamin, and Viscera. Near the end of the match, Momma Benjamin hit Viscera twice with her purse. Shelton then executed a dragon whip and pinned Viscera afterwards to win. After the match, Momma Benjamin reveled that there was a brick contained within her purse. The sixth match was a Bra and Panties Gauntlet match between Ashley, Maria, Torrie Wilson, Victoria, and Candice Michelle. The match started out between Michelle and Maria. Another woman came out after one of the two in the match was stripped of both her top (referred to as the bra) and panties. Maria managed to strip both Michelle and Wilson, respectively. Victoria, however, stripped Maria and eliminated her. As Victoria was awaiting the final participant, Ashley, Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah came out and stripped Victoria of her shirt. Ashley then came out and quickly stripped Victoria of her panties to win the match.

The match that followed was the main event, which saw WWE Champion John Cena defend the title against Carlito, Chris Masters, Shawn Michaels, Kane, and Kurt Angle in an Elimination Chamber match. Two men, Michaels and Cena, started the match while the remaining four participants were contained within pods surrounding the ring. A new entrant came out approximately every five minutes. Angle, the fourth entrant, was eliminated after Michaels pinned him following Sweet Chin Music. Carlito and Masters, the third and fifth entrants, respectively, then eliminated Kane, the sixth entrant, after executing a series of double-team maneuvers. Michaels was the next man eliminated, as Carlito pinned him following an outward rolling cutter. Towards the end of the match, Carlito told Masters to apply the Master Lock on Cena. As Masters had the hold applied on Cena, Carlito executed a low blow on Masters and pinned him with a roll-up. Seconds after the elimination, Cena rolled up Carlito to win the match and retain the WWE Championship. After the match, Vince McMahon announced that Edge was cashing in his Money in the Bank contract, which is used to receive a championship match of the owner's time and place of choosing. Edge defeated Cena in under two minutes to begin his first reign as WWE Champion.
