The 2017 Elimination Chamber (known as No Escape in Germany) was the seventh Elimination Chamber professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's SmackDown brand division. The event took place on February 12, 2017, at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona. It was the first Elimination Chamber event to be held since 2015 and was WWE's first pay-per-view to feature three women's matches on the main card. The event also saw the debut of a new Elimination Chamber structure that is the one now currently used in WWE.
Eight matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, Bray Wyatt won the titular Elimination Chamber match to win the WWE Championship, the first singles championship of his career. In other prominent matches, Naomi defeated Alexa Bliss to win the SmackDown Women's Championship, marking her first championship in WWE, Randy Orton defeated Luke Harper, American Alpha (Chad Gable and Jason Jordan) retained the SmackDown Tag Team Championship in a tag team turmoil match, and in the opening bout, Becky Lynch defeated Mickie James.
