A historic Elimination Chamber match will take place on this Sunday night. The women superstars will compete for only the second time in their career inside this structure for an inaugural championship. It will mark the debut of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. Six teams will compete in this match from both WWE Raw and Smackdown to become the new and history-making champions.

But if the recent reports are any indications then the favorites to win the Women’s Tag Team Championships may not compete, at all. We are talking about the strongest women’s tag team from WWE Raw division i.e. Sasha Banks and Bayley. One half of them is dealing with an injury leading their status at Elimination Chamber in sheer jeopardy. Even WWE.com provided an update reaffirming that she may not compete in this one-of-a-kind match.
Earlier reports already confirmed that Sasha Banks was dealing with an injury following Royal Rumble. WWE sidelined her for action over the past couple of weeks so that she gets healed up within Elimination Chamber. But the injury might have increased following this week’s edition of WWE Raw. Now it’s unclear whether she can accompany Bayley inside the steel cage structure.

WWE’s official website has reported that Sasha Banks ‘re-aggravated a shoulder injury’ during a Triple Threat Tag Team Match on WWE Raw. She had to leave the scene immediately leaving her partner Bayley high-and-dry. The Hugger came up short taking a Samoan Drop from Nia Jax and suffering the pinfall. This will force them to enter the Elimination Chamber in the first number in case Sasha Banks gets medically cleared.
Another team has drawn the first spot over on Smackdown. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville lost a stipulated triple threat match on last night’s show. Naomi pinned Mandy Rose ensuring that they accompany Sasha Banks and Bayley to start the Elimination Chamber match.
For now, the injury of Sasha Banks looks to be quite an uncertain one. We are unsure about whether this is just a ‘work’ or a real injury that she is dealing with. The fact that she came back to action on WWE hints that she might be okay to compete in the women’s tag team championship match. The injury angle is just to create sympathy around her.
