Elimination Chamber: Toronto (known as No Escape: Toronto in Germany) was a 2025 professional wrestling event produced by the American company WWE. It was the 15th Elimination Chamber event and took place on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The event aired via pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming and featured wrestlers from the promotion's brand divisions Raw, SmackDown and also Roxanne Perez from NXT. The event is based around the Elimination Chamber match, a type of multi-person elimination-based Steel Cage match in which championships or future opportunities at championships are at stake.
The event comprised four matches, including two Elimination Chamber matches, one each for the men and women. The main event was the men's eponymous match, which was won by John Cena, earning a match for SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41, while the women's match, which was the opening bout, was won by SmackDown's Bianca Belair, earning a match for Raw's Women's World Championship at WrestleMania. In another prominent match, Canada native Kevin Owens defeated fellow Canadian Sami Zayn in an unsanctioned match. The event also saw the returns of Randy Orton and Jade Cargill. The event was also notable for Cena's final Elimination Chamber appearance due to his retirement from professional wrestling at the end of 2025, as well as his heel turn, as Cena had portrayed a babyface since 2003.
This was the first Elimination Chamber event in Toronto and the first WWE event to be held at Rogers Centre since WrestleMania X8 in 2002 when it was still known as the SkyDome. It was also the second Elimination Chamber event in Canada after the 2023 edition and the fourth consecutive Elimination Chamber to be held outside of the United States. This was also the first PPV to not feature a championship defense since Survivor Series in 2021.
