The Elimination Chamber match has a reputation for being one of the most dangerously exciting spectacles in the WWE. It has made careers, while shortening many others. But for the first time in the history of the chamber, female performers will be able to participate. On the February 5 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, general manager Kurt Angle announced all the participants for the first-ever women’s Elimination Chamber match. Later this month, Alexa Bliss will be in the fight of her life as she defends her WWE Raw Women’s Championship against five of the best female wrestlers on the roster inside an extremely chaotic chamber. Can “Little Miss” Bliss overcome the odds and keep that championship around her waste for another night?
Kurt Angle’s announcement really angered champion Alexa Bliss. She even accused Angle of “sexism” because the male (Universal) champion Brock Lesnar doesn’t have to defend his title inside an Elimination Chamber or at all, for that matter, until WrestleMania 34. Being involved in a history-making match isn’t enough for Bliss, she demands equality.
Another big-time match for the women includes a showdown between the towering Nia Jax and the undefeated “Empress of Tomorrow” Asuka. If Jax is able to take out Asuka and secure the victory then she’ll be added to the Raw Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania 34.
Meanwhile, the best male wrestlers on the roster are also scheduled to lock horns inside the hellish confines of the Elimination Chamber. Last night on Raw, Roman Reigns and The Miz qualified for the chamber by defeating Bray Wyatt and Apollo Crews respectively.
