Randy Orton booked a WrestleMania XXX main event with Batista after defending his WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the Elimination Chamber tonight.
However, 'The Viper' needed the aid of, firstly, The Wyatt Family to eliminate John Cena, and then Kane, to pin Daniel Bryan and retain his title.
Sheamus, Christian and Cesaro had earlier been disposed of, while 2014 Royal Rumble winner Batista warmed up for his meeting with ex-Evolution comrade Orton by besting Alberto Del Rio.
That match followed a show-stealing six-man tag team bout between The Wyatt Family and The Shield in which Bray Wyatt got the victory by pinning Roman Reigns after 22 minutes of brutal action.
The pay-per-view kicked off with The Usos failing to take tag team gold from The New Age Outlaws, while Big E also kept hold of his Intercontinental Championship by overcoming Jack Swagger.
Elsewhere, AJ Lee remained Divas champion despite losing by disqualification to Cameron, Cody Rhodes and Goldust beat Ryback and Curtis Axel, and Titus O'Neill overcame his former partner Darren Young.
