The Elimination Chamber returns for two more hellish installments, this year with a wrinkle: The women will be getting in on the fray, with the first-ever women’s Elimination Chamber match.
Alexa Bliss will defend the “RAW” Women’s Championship vs. Bayley, Mandy Rose, Mickie James, Sonya Deville and Sasha Banks inside the Elimination Chamber, the first of its kind in the women’s division, continuing the historic year for women’s wrestling in WWE.
The wild-card here is Sasha Banks: With a heel turn apparent and imminent, Banks could be the monkey wrench in Bliss’ date in the spotlight at WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans.

On the men’s side, there hasn’t been a hotter main-eventer over the past year than Braun Strowman. Strowman’s emergence has been a pleasant surprise for WWE fans: once thought of as an uber-generic monster heel, Strowman has evolved into one of the hardest working, most entertaining wrestlers on the roster.
Strowman winning would be the latest in a line of surprises from the “Monster Among Men,” and would certainly be a welcome sight for WWE fans itching for new blood in the main event scene.
