[5.0] "While this is an average PPV, I think a TON of matches wasted potential and should have been better than they were. Rock vs. Punk was a mild improvement, but took wrong steps for every step it took right from their Rumble match. The six man tag was a comically simplistic match that should have been far better. And the Chamber was one of the most mediocre in the stipulation's history. Honestly, Miz vs. Cesaro might have been match of the night. And that should NEVER have been the case with a card this stacked. Still a fine show to watch, but there is no doubt in my mind that this event dropped the ball in terms of expectations versus delivery."

[8.0] "Cesaro Vs Miz, Ziggler Vs Kofi and Kaitlyn Vs Tamina were all just bad and Big Show Vs Del Rio was just solid at best, but Punk Vs Rock 2 was great and both the elimination chamber match itself and the shield six man tag were both fantastic. Overall WWE Elimination Chamber (2013) is a good show."

[7.0] "There was some criticism of The Rock's performances here, and at the previous month's Royal Rumble, and while he wasn't on the level that Punk and Cena were working at during this period, his defence of the WWE Title against CM Punk here is a perfectly acceptable PPV main event. It's given ample back up in the shape of the Elimination Chamber match and another of The Shield's brilliant 6-man contests (which was, in my opinion, match of the night). Hell, even The Big Show's attempt at Alberto Del Rio's World Heavyweight Title match delivered. Yes there was some throw away bouts over the course of the night, The Miz and Cesaro's match had an awful finish, Dolph vs. Kofi was completely pointless, and the Women's division was perhaps at it's lowest point when Kaitlyn and Tamina did battle over the title here, but there was enough on this show to easily give it a 'thumbs up'."

[9.0] "This is a great ppv and an underrated ppv too this is also one of my favorite ppv of all time. You have a good world heavyweight championship, you have a great elimination chamber match you have a great 6 man tag match and you have and fantastic main event match between the rock and cm punk the only reason it isn't a ten is because of the us title match the divas match and ziggler vs kofi other than that it is a great show."

[6.0] "A decent chunk of this show felt like it would have been a better fit for one of the weekly TV shows than on PPV. There is some good stuff here like the Elimination Chamber match and the 6-man tag, but most of the show felt similar enough to other, better matches that we've seen on previous PPVs. Thankfully the less interesting material is fairly short so it doesn't detract too much, but there aren't many highlights here either. I'd suggest checking out the EC match and the tag if either look interesting to you, but the rest (while generally decent) is probably not worth bothering with."

[9.0] "Hard to rate a show 8 years later but I thought there were 4 very good matches, headlined by an extremely heated main event with some great false finishes. The Chamber match was very exciting and never got boring. The Shield looked great in their debut, showing great promise for their years to come, and Alberto as scummy as he turned out to be, got a really good match out of the Big Show."

[7.0] "Great team work by The Shield, very ballsy by WWE to put them over their three top faces at the time. Nothing extraordinary and Shield would go on to have consistently good matches just like this one."

[7.0] "Elimination Chamber Match was very good, but the final disappointed. Randy Orton and Chris Jericho were better than others. One of them had to win. Six Man Tag Team Match was pleasant to me. Main event was worse than CM Punk and Rock battle on Royal Rumble. Rock proved poorly. My ratings: Alberto Del Rio vs. Big Show - **3/4, Antonio Cesaro vs. Miz - *3/4, Elimination Chamber Match - ***3/4, John Cena, Ryback and Sheamus vs. Shield - ***1/2, Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston - **, Kaitlyn vs. Tamina Snuka - *, Rock vs. CM Punk - ***1/4."
