Women's Elimination Chamber Match (Winner faces Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch at WrestleMania) ​

The road to an opportunity against Becky Lynch for the Raw Women’s Title at WrestleMania goes through the Elimination Chamber.

Natalya, Liv Morgan, Shayna Baszler, Asuka, Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan will step inside the dreaded structure at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view on Sunday, March 8, with the winner challenging Lynch at The Show of Shows, as first reported by The Wrap.

For Baszler — who already has her sights on Lynch after taking a bite out of The Man on Raw — it represents a chance to make the match she wants a reality. The only two-time NXT Women’s Champion has plenty of experience in high-pressure situations, though the Chamber represents an entirely new dynamic for The Queen of Spades.

In fact, the only two women with previous Elimination Chamber experience are former allies — Morgan and Logan — who represented the now-defunct Riott Squad in last year’s Women’s Elimination Chamber Match to crown the first-ever Women’s Tag Team Champions.

Both Morgan and Logan have shown the WWE Universe new sides to themselves in recent weeks, but neither made as big of an impact as their former leader, Riott, did in her shocking return to Raw. Morgan, initially delighted to see her friend back on the scene after a nine-month absence due to injury, was instead treated to a savage beatdown and apparent loss of any regard for their former bond.

Asuka — one-half of the Women's Tag Team Champions — and Natalya are no strangers to the limelight either, with Asuka a former Royal Rumble winner and women’s champion who has challenged for the title on the Grandest Stage of Them All, while Natalya has competed in more pay-per-view matches than any other woman in WWE history.

Intercontinental Champion Braun Strowman vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, Cesaro & Sami Zayn (3-on-1 Handicap Match) ​

At WWE Elimination Chamber, Braun Strowman will defend the Intercontinental Championship against the combined forces of Shinsuke Nakamura, Cesaro & Sami Zayn.

Since conquering Nakamura to lay claim to the workhorse title, Strowman has been a major disruption to both the former titleholder and his cohorts Cesaro and Zayn, to say the least. Most recently, the fierce champion joined forced with Elias to overcome The Artist & The Swiss Cyborg in a Symphony of Destruction Match — a contest that saw The Monster Among Men powerslam Shinsuke off the Commentators’ desk onto a grand piano and leading to his adversary receiving nine staples in the back of his head.

In the wake of that onslaught, a contract signing was set up for a one-on-one rematch between Strowman and Nakamura for WWE Elimination Chamber. But, when Zayn asked to further review the contract, Strowman remarked that he would end up fighting all three of his foes no matter what the contract said and he signed it. Seizing the moment, Zayn held Strowman to his word. As a result, a 3-on-1 Handicap Match for the title was made official. In the wake of the signing, the three Superstars ganged up on the titleholder and put him through the table. And the rest, as they say, is ... hysteria.

SmackDown Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber Match​

At WWE Elimination Chamber, the newly-crowned SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison will be defending the titles against five other tag teams inside the unforgiving Elimination Chamber.

The reunited tandem of Miz & Morrison recaptured tag team glory when they overcame seven-time Tag Team Champions The New Day in controversial fashion to lay claim to the SmackDown Tag Team Championships at WWE Super ShowDown.

Nevertheless, there was little time to celebrate their victory. The following night on SmackDown, it was announced that the "dirtiest" tag team in the game would be forced to defend their titles inside the career-altering structure against five of the best teams the blue brand had to offer. This included The New Day, The Usos, Heavy Machinery, Lucha House Party and Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode.

Aleister Black vs. AJ Styles (No Disqualification Match)​

In true gladiator fashion, Aleister Black made it clear that he will have his retribution, in this show or the next, when he battles AJ Styles in a No Disqualification Match at WWE Elimination Chamber.

After suffering a beatdown at the hands of Styles and The O.C. backstage on the Feb. 24 edition of Monday Night Raw, Black set out on a mission to get even. Accordingly, days after The Undertaker rose at WWE Super ShowDown and hit Styles with a Chokeslam to claim the prestigious Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy, Black returned to Raw looking to make The Phenomenal One's week even worse.

However, before he could get his hands on his adversary, Black first had to overcome Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, respectively, in a pair of one-on-one matches. Then, even when Black smashed through that blockade, the good brothers still administered a beatdown to Black and helped The Phenomenal One claim the win and unleash another O.C. onslaught to bring Black's quest for payback to a sudden halt.

The tenacious Black will now take on Styles in a No Disqualification Match at WWE Elimination Chamber. Let the destruction begin!

Raw Tag Team Champions The Street Profits vs. Seth Rollins & Murphy​

The Street Profits won’t have to wait long to face their first test as champions. They’ll put their newly won Raw Tag Team Titles on the line against former champions Seth Rollins & Murphy this Sunday at WWE Elimination Chamber.

After failing to dethrone The Monday Night Messiah and his disciple at Super ShowDown, Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins took advantage of a second chance at the titles Monday on Raw — one that would have prevented them from ever challenging for the titles again had they lost.

Find out if The Street Profits can handle the smoke or if Rollins & Murphy can reclaim the titles at WWE Elimination Chamber, streaming live on Sunday, March 8, at 7 ET/4 PT on the award-winning WWE Network.

United States Champion Andrade vs. Humberto Carrillo​

Is Humberto Carrillo destined to earn the biggest three-count of his WWE career and finally sling the United States Championship over his shoulder at WWE Elimination Chamber?

The resilient young Superstar has been chasing the title for several months, and he has had to fight through more adversity, outside interference and pre- and post-match beatdowns than any Superstar on the Raw roster.

While attempting the already daunting task of dethroning AJ Styles when he held the title, Carrillo was brutalized by The O.C., he's gotten DDT’d on concrete by Andrade and has constantly been forced to keep at least one eye on Zelina Vega interference.

Recently, Carrillo has even had to deal with his pompous cousin, Angel Garza, who used nefarious means to twice defeat him. The two have tangled in several wild brawls as a result.

Through it all, the aerialist has repeatedly pulled himself back to his feet. And now, after pinning Andrade in a tag team match on Raw, he’s just one victory away from hoisting the star-spangled championship — though the current titleholder is certain to have something to say about Carrillo's lofty aspirations.

If you thought Andrade had a mean streak before capturing the United States Championship… well, you were right. But Andrade’s viciousness has reached frightening new levels ever since, as the cold-blooded Superstar seems willing to stoop to any low to maintain his grasp on the title.

During his title reign, which began when he took down Rey Mysterio at Madison Square Garden the night after Christmas, Andrade has de-masked The Master of the 619, unleashed several savage sneak attacks against Carrillo and others and resorted to getting himself disqualified against Carrillo to retain his championship.

Will Carrillo finally become a champion, or will Andrade have yet another trick up his sleeve for the young upstart? Don’t miss WWE Elimination Chamber on Sunday, March 8, streaming live on WWE Network at 7 ET/4 PT!

Daniel Bryan vs. Drew Gulak​

At WWE Elimination Chamber, Drew Gulak will attempt to school Daniel Bryan.

For weeks, Gulak has been under the impression that he has found several holes in Bryan’s game. Accordingly, the brash Superstar has set out to attempt to coach various Superstars, including Heath Slater and Curtis Axel on how to take advantage of these perceived weaknesses so that they could defeat WWE’s “Yes!” Man.

However, when that failed in both cases, Bryan caught an irritated Gulak as he was taking issue with those on the losing side of the matchups. In response, Bryan suggested Gulak meet him in the ring at WWE Elimination Chamber so he can exploit his weaknesses firsthand.

Shame it wasn't a match involving both brands, would have been a much better lineup. Sasha/Naomi +1 would have been far better.

 

[Chris]

Yeah, this chamber match looks like it's gonna be trash. Easy win by Baszler I'm guessing, doubt they swerve us. Asuka would be the next best choice, but I mean that'd be A LOT of matches between those two in a short amount of time and I can't see Asuka winning the next time either.

 

[Cwalker]

Shayna needs to choke out everyone. 4 tap outs and Asuka passes out

 

[Chris]

Added the IC title and Tag Title elimination chamber match from SmackDown last night.

 

[Cwalker]

Sami finally gonna win a main roster title

 

[Vegeta]

Sami finally gonna win a main roster title

 

[Sabretooth]

Yeah the women's chamber match is probably just gonna be Shayna squashing everyone so the announcers can go on and on about how "we have never seen such a dominant performance in a chamber match ever"

The tag team chamber match however could be really fun if booked properly.


The handicap match is another stupid decision cause it's one of those matches where no outcome is good. On one hand you want Braun to be dominant but you're really gonna squash three stars in the process?

 

[Deezy]

Braun already been squashing them doofus

 

[Gentleman Jake]

The fact the LHP are in the tag EC and the Revival aren’t pretty much tells me Revival are probably done with the E

No Roman, no Seth, no Drew so far. Doesn't look like I'm gonna be too interested in this lol.

 

[Apoho Creed]

Kinda bummed Kairi is not apart of the Chamber. She clearly deserves it more than Logan and she beat Natayla, but it does scare me she's crazy enough to do the Elbow Drop from the top of one the Chamber Pods. The Tag TItle Chamber could be damn good.

 

[Cwalker]

Tag Chamber should be better than the one they had in 2015

 

[Chris]

Added the last minute matches booked on Raw last night. Show doesn't look as bad now.

 

[Dale]

They really should have had the SmackDown Elimination Chamber for the #1 contenders on this show, the card looks super fucking weak.
