The 2020 Elimination Chamber (known as No Escape in Germany) was the 10th Elimination Chamber professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The event took place on March 8, 2020, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Eight matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, NXT's Shayna Baszler won Raw's women's Elimination Chamber match to become the number one contender against Becky Lynch for the Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania 36. In other prominent matches, Aleister Black defeated AJ Styles in a no disqualification match, The Artist Collective (Cesaro, Sami Zayn, and Shinsuke Nakamura) defeated Braun Strowman in a 3-on-1 handicap match, with Zayn pinning Strowman to win the Intercontinental Championship, and The Miz and John Morrison retained the SmackDown Tag Team Championship in SmackDown's tag team Elimination Chamber match. This was also the first Elimination Chamber event with no men’s world titles contested on the card.
The event was the last WWE pay-per-view to have taken place in front of a live ticketed crowd before the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11. The next day, the promotion would move the majority of its shows, including WrestleMania 36, to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida with no fans in attendance. From August, they had virtual fans by way of the WWE ThunderDome bio-secure bubble. WrestleMania 37, which was held in April 2021, was WWE's first event since Elimination Chamber to take place in front of a live ticketed audience, and in mid-July, the company resumed live touring, with the first pay-per-view on this tour being Money in the Bank.
