As per the stipulation, the winners of the Gauntlet Match will earn the right to enter Sunday’s Chamber match, last.

Apart from the Gauntlet, Smackdown will also feature a huge tag team match from the women’s division. It will be a rematch where Sasha Banks and SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley team up against Naomi and Lacey Evans.

Last week, the same lineup delivered the contest which was won by the latter duo. Now the Boss n Hug connection gets a chance to seek redemption.
