Vince McMahon is furious with an ECW Original victory in the Royal Rumble match, he has no more reason than that, he promotes an Elimination Chamber match for No Way Out where Raven will defend his right to a match for the Global Championship at Wrestlemania. They are involved in this match by qualifying matches, Shawn Michaels who defeated William Regal, The Undertaker who defeated Christian, Test who defeated Booker T, Diamond Dallas Page who defeated Kane and Chris Kanyon who defeated Big Show.

This was the first pay-per-view in Montreal since the infamous Montreal Screwjob at the Survivor Series in 1997.
