If we thought the women’s Royal Rumble was the top-most spot achieved in the Women’s Evolution, then we were wrong, as WWE shocked us, yet again right after the historic night.
This time around another path-breaking match was organised for them that was reserved for the men participants, till date. So, they will be out to recreate history, yet again.
According to the announcement from Stephanie McMahon, last week, a first-ever women’s Elimination Chamber match will be hosted in the upcoming edition of the PPV. It will be the very first time the six female participants will be competing inside it to determine the WWE Raw women’s champion heading into Wrestlemania 34.
Now, the WWE Raw commissioner also addressed the fact that Alexa Bliss will be the one to defend the US title this gimmick-based match that was reserved on February 25th. There would be five more women whose names were supposed to be declared on last night’s show, as the challengers for the reigning champion.

To note on this ongoing speculation, Kurt Angle appeared in the middle of the ring stating the women’s evolution will continue with the upcoming Raw-exclusive PPV just being three weeks away where they get to compete in the Elimination Chamber.
He directly announced the five names which are as follows:
Bayley, Mandy Rose, Mickie James, Sonya Deville, and Sasha Banks

Needless to say that there are no surprise names in-store for this historic matchup. Almost all the five competitors from the listed ones have proven their in-ring quality to get inserted into the contest. Plus, WWE officials did not have other choices, too with the female roster not being a large one on the flagship show.

Some of the fans might complain about the inclusion of Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, but they need to understand that Absolution has declared themselves as the most dominant faction in recent times.
With Paige being out of action due to the neck injury, the rest of the two needs to continue the momentum for their own career’s sake.
Meanwhile, Paige missed both the Royal Rumble and the Elimination Chamber matchup. Hopefully, the anti-Diva can overcome the odds to make a triumphant return, at one point.
