Here’s Why WWE Has a Separate Name for Elimination Chamber in a Major European Country

WWE is limitless in its reach and entertains masses all over the planet. It is one of the reasons why the promotion has emerged as the global force it is today. But catering to such a diverse fan base is certainly not child’s play. The company has to be careful about what might work in a certain market and what may offend people in a different region. It will be surprising for many followers to know that the upcoming Elimination Chamber is addressed by a different name in a country.

The logistics involved in such a scenario would not be easy. But such is the dedication of WWE that it keeps track of every small detail that may matter. The wrestling juggernaut should be applauded for acknowledging this minuscule information. The fast-approaching PLE ‘Elimination Chamber’ is known as ‘No Escape’ in Germany.

Why WWE Elimination Chamber is known by a different name in Germany

This is done to respect the victims of the dreadful Holocaust. The Nazi forces’ inhuman torture of Jews still haunts the world. The WWE is holding the event since 2010, and it was known as ‘No Way Out’ initially in Deutschland. But ever since 2013, the yearly PLE is known as ‘No Escape’ in the European country as per Wrestlelamia shorts. This shows how much care goes into keeping the emotions of people in mind.

Even though it got its event status much later, the Elimination Chamber as a match has been going on since 2002. The match, which also featured Triple H saw HBK Shawn Michaels’ return to the ring after four years on the sideline. The latter marked his return by winning the coveted Heavyweight championship. The dangerous structure has been a part of the company’s programming since  and has seen the who’s who of the business competing.

How does the changed name for the PLE work?

The Stanford-based promotion keeps the branding for the event the same as everywhere around the world. The only thing that is different is the name of the event.

This year’s chamber match will see the United States championship be defended for the men’s version. While the women will tussle for a chance to become the number one contenders for the Raw women’s champion. ‘The EST of WWE’ Bianca Belair is the current holder of the championship.

Becoming a global phenomenon involves an endless effort to always strive for the best. It also involves keeping track of one’s customers and knowing what might not work in a particular area.

WWE’s decision to rename the PLE in Germany is a great decision by the promotion. The company is often questioned for its decision-making but should be praised this time around.
