, interfered by receiving an attack for Edge by Mysterio. This distracted Mysterio and allowed Edge to Spear Mysterio in mid-air, which allowed Edge to retain his title. On the February 1 edition of SmackDown, Theodore Long
, who was acting as the General Manager due to Guerrero's scripted injury, assigned a rematch between the two at No Way Out. Mysterio was injured at a live event overseas on February 13, but still chose to compete in his match.

Back in the ring, Punk set Guerrero up for a Hurracarana from the top turnbuckle, but Guerrero countered the attempt by holding the ropes, causing Punk to fall to the ring mat.

The next match was the SmackDown!/ECW Elimination Chamber
match between The Undertaker, Batista, Big Daddy V
(with Matt Striker), Finlay

Undertaker gained control of the match early after tossing Batista over the top rope onto the chamber's steel surface. In the ring, both men were knocked down by hitting a big boot to each other. The third entrant, Big Daddy V, then entered, and dominated both The Undertaker and Batista for some time, until Batista hit him with a strong Spinebuster, and The Undertaker hit a DDT
onto the steel floor of the chamber. Batista capitalised and pinned Big Daddy V to eliminate him. The fourth entrant was The Great Khali, who also dominated upon entering, but was eliminated when he submitted to Gogoplata
submission hold. The fifth entrant was Finlay, who gained the advantage over Batista by tossing him into the steel chains of the chamber, and over Undertaker by delivering a Celtic Cross to him. Finlay also slammed Undertaker's head into the bullet-proof glass of one of the pods and breaking it, and also causing Undertaker to start bleeding. The sixth entrant, MVP, was attacked by Undertaker when his pod was opened. MVP used a steel chain as a weapon on the other three competitors, until he climbed to the top of a pod. Undertaker followed and delivered a chokeslam
to MVP from the top of the pod onto the ring,which caused MVP the match as Finlay pinned MVP and eliminated him. Later, Hornswoggle passed a shillelagh
to Finlay from under the ring, which he used on both Batista and Undertaker. He was soon eliminated by Undertaker who pinned him after a devastating Chokeslam from inside the ring onto the steel floor of the chamber. The final two men were Batista and Undertaker. Batista gained advantage after delivering a thunderous Batista Bomb, but Undertaker kicked out which led to Batista tossing Undertaker into the chamber's steel chains. Undertaker however, retaliated and countered a powerslam attempt on the outside, bringing both men in, and delivered a massive Tombstone piledriver and pinned Batista, winning the match and earning a World Heavyweight Championship
match at WrestleMania XXIV
, which he also went on to win, and extended his Streak to 16-0.

and Mr. Kennedy. In this match, had Flair lost, he would have had to retire from professional wrestling

The next match was a World Heavyweight Championship
match between Rey Mysterio and the champion, Edge. Throughout the match, Edge worked on Mysterio's injured biceps, which affected Mysterio's offense. Mysterio, however, was able to retaliate as he hit a Tornado DDT on Edge for an unsuccessful pinfall attempt. Later in the match, Mysterio hit Edge with a 619, but failed to capitalize due to his biceps. He then tried to hit Edge with a Springboard Splash, but Edge speared Mysterio in mid-air, and pinned him to retain the title. After the match, The Big Show
made a surprise return to the company, where he cut a promo on his recent weight loss (over 108 pounds) and future plans of becoming a champion again. After doing so, The Big Show began to taunt professional boxer
Floyd Mayweather, Jr., who was in attendance and Mysterio's close friend. As The Big Show threatened to give Mysterio a chokeslam, Mayweather jumped over the security wall and entered the ring to confront The Big Show. The Big Show then got on his knees to allow Mayweather to punch him, which Mayweather did with a combination of punches, which caused The Big Show to bleed from the nose and mouth. Mayweather and his crew fled the ring, and then through the crowd, where Shane McMahon
stopped The Big Show from chasing them.
The next match was for the WWE Championship
between champion Randy Orton
and challenger John Cena
. At the beginning, both men controlled the match by their turn, until late into the match, Orton started targeting Cena's surgically
-repaired right pectoral muscle
. Later, Orton feigned an injury outside the ring and ordered the referee Mike Chioda
to count him out. When Cena came to check Orton's "injury", Orton delivered an RKO to Cena outside the ring. Orton got back in the ring and the referee started to count Cena out. Cena got back into the ring on a nine-count, but Orton purposely slapped the referee in the face and got himself disqualified. As a result, Orton lost the match but retained the title.

Some of the highlights were Umaga performing a double Samoan Drop on Jericho and Michaels, and later, hitting his Samoan Wrecking Ball to Jericho into one of the pods' "bullet-proof" glass. The next superstar to enter the match was JBL, who dominated the other three competitors for some time until he got eliminated by Jericho after a Codebreaker. After his elimination, JBL brought two steel chairs
into the chamber to attack Jericho, Michaels and Umaga before leaving. Triple H entered the match next. Soon, every superstar hit their finishing moves on Umaga, with Jericho hitting the Codebreaker, Michaels blasting him with the Sweet Chin Music, Triple H executing the Pedigree, and finally Hardy hitting the Swanton Bomb from the top of a pod.

Later, Triple H eliminated Michaels after hitting a thunderous Pedigree, following a massiveTwist of Fate from Hardy. The final two men were Triple H and Hardy. They battled for about five minutes until Triple H delivered a Pedigree on Hardy, but failed to score the pinfall. Triple H tried to use a steel chair
but Hardy retaliated, and attempted to deliver a Twist of Fate. Triple H countered the attempt by pushing Hardy into the steel chair.
