Paul Heyman's original plan for the Elimination Chamber match was to start off with CM Punk eliminating The Big Show by submission in the first five minutes to ensure a new ECW World Champion, with CM Punk getting the win and title. Vince McMahon hated the idea, but Big Show liked it and was willing to put Punk over as a big star.
The Hardys made a challenge to any tag team in the world. Former WWE tag team champions, and current members of TNA The New Age Outlaws, had accepted the challenge. Via, the TNA website. MNM had already accepted the challenge. Given the fact that it is a scripted event. Brian Armstrong (Road Dogg), made numerous attempts to the WWE for a open challenge, over the next month. Ignoring the legal warnings from the WWE.
Only WWE PPV appearance for Sylvester Terkay.
