'''WWE No Way Out''' was a [[professional wrestling]] [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) event produced by [[WWE]], a [[professional wrestling promotion]] based in [[Connecticut]]. It was first held as the 20th [[In Your House]] PPV in February 1998 and was titled [[No Way Out of Texas: In Your House|No Way Out of Texas]]. It returned as its own PPV in February 2000, with the event's title truncated to "No Way Out," and it continued as the annual February PPV until 2009. The events in 2008 and 2009 featured the [[Elimination Chamber match]]. In turn, No Way Out was replaced by a new annual PPV titled [[WWE Elimination Chamber|Elimination Chamber]] in 2010, but one further No Way Out PPV was held as a one-off event in June 2012 to replace [[WWE Capitol Punishment|Capitol Punishment]]. In 2013, No Way Out was again discontinued and it was replaced by [[WWE Payback|Payback]].
The first four events were held when the promotion was still called the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). In May 2002, the promotion was renamed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). To coincide with the [[WWE brand extension|brand extension]] that was also introduced in 2002, No Way Out was held exclusively for wrestlers of the [[SmackDown (WWE brand)|SmackDown!]] brand from 2004 to 2007. Following [[WrestleMania 23]] in April 2007, brand-exclusive pay-per-views were discontinued; [[No Way Out (2007)|No Way Out 2007]] was the promotion's final PPV to be brand-exclusive during the first brand extension. "WWE" became an [[orphaned initialism]] for the promotion in April 2011 in an unofficial term (the legal entity of the company, as shown in the copyrights at the end of each broadcast, is currently "World Wrestling Entertainment, LLC" in 2023) and the brand extension ended that August before No Way Out's one-off return in June 2012.
==History==
No Way Out was first held as an [[In Your House]] [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) event. In Your House was a series of monthly PPVs first produced by the [[World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF, now WWE) in May 1995. They aired when the promotion was not holding one of its major PPVs and were sold at a lower cost. The first No Way Out event was held as the 20th In Your House PPV on February 15, 1998, and was titled [[No Way Out of Texas: In Your House]] as it took place at the [[Lakewood Church Central Campus|Compaq Center]] in [[Houston, Texas]].<ref name="About">{{cite web|first=Eric|last=Cohen|url=http://prowrestling.about.com/od/ringresults/a/nowayout.htm|title=History of the WWE PPV No Way Out|work=[[About.com]]: Professional Wrestling|access-date=2008-07-13|archive-date=2016-03-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304121757/http://prowrestling.about.com/od/ringresults/a/nowayout.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=WWF9099Book>{{cite book | first=Graham | last=Cawthon | title=The History of Professional Wrestling|volume=2: WWF 1990–1999 | publisher=CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | year= 2013 | asin=B00RWUNSRS}}</ref>
