Reception

The event received generally mixed reviews. Jason Powell of "ProWrestling.net" found both Elimination Chamber matches "disappointing"; he called the first a "train wreck opener", and the second "flat".http://prowrestling.net/article.php?5-31-Powell-s-WWE-Elimination-Chamber-PPV-results-and-review-Kevin-Owens-vs.-John-Cena-Seth-Rollins-vs.-Dean-Ambrose-for-the-WWE-World-Heavyweight-Championship-Elimination-Chamber-matches-for-the-vacant-IC-Title-and-the-WWE-Tag-Team-Championship-42465 Mike Tedesco of Wrestleview.com thought the event was excellent, particularly the Owens vs. Cena match while also praising the Tag Team Elimination Chamber match. Nolan Howells of "Slam Sports" criticized the Intercontinental Championship Elimination Chamber match and gave it a negative score of 1.75 out of 5, but praised the John Cena vs. Kevin Owens match and gave it 4.5 out of 5. Howells gave the main event a 3 out of 5. He wrote "The world title match was a truly great match ruined by a truly awful finish. Predictable and put a whole set of nails in the coffin of an already dead crowd."

Aftermath

After Dean Ambrose stole the WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt, on the following night's episode of ''Raw'', The Authority demanded that Ambrose have a rematch with Rollins. Roman Reigns then appeared to tell them that Ambrose would be coming back with the belt only if Rollins was man enough for the title at Money in the Bank in a Ladder Match. Despite The Authority's objections, Rollins accepted the challenge. At Money in the Bank, Rollins won against Ambrose without any interference from The Authority. Roman Reigns tried to get another shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by qualifying in the
