While the Women’s Elimination Chamber seems destined to favor Becky Lynch, Monday’s in-ring “WWE Raw” segment between the six entrants provided some much-needed believability that the match could sway in another direction.

Liv Morgan, who recently returned from injury, reiterated that WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley (who is likely heading into WrestleMania at the defending champion) took her out of action for six months. As such, Morgan is not only out to secure the WWE Women’s World Championship, she’s also out for revenge on Ripley. As an added layer, Morgan pointed out that she was the last woman to defeat the ever-dominant Ripley in singles competition.

Raquel Rodriguez, who also returned from hiatus, reminded everyone that it is possible that Ripley may not be walking into WrestleMania 40 as champion, as she is defending her title against “The Irresistible Force” Nia Jax at Elimination Chamber. Regardless of who wins the WWE Women’s World Championship match that night, though, Rodriguez declared that she was the only competitor big and strong enough to stand up to them.

The wild cards in the match — Naomi and Tiffany Stratton — also presented compelling cases. While Naomi vowed to climb her way back to the top after spending time away from WWE, Stratton clapped back by stating that the WWE Universe wasn’t interested in the past. Stratton, of course, is the newest, and, by default, the most unpredictable talent on WWE’s main roster.

Bianca Belair, the longest-reigning “Raw” Women’s Champion, chimed in last, noting that she is the only 2024 competitor to previously win the grueling Elimination Chamber match. Belair also highlighted the fact that she has an undefeated streak at WrestleMania, which, in turn, believably boosts her chances of winning the Elimination Chamber (and going on to compete at “The Shows of Shows”) once again.
