A lot of controversy , is surrounding Elimination Chamber this year, with the history -to- be written event and one women's title on the line, straight prior WrestleMania. And where is The Man in the whole picture?
Let's roll!
RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPION RONDA ROUSEY VS. RUBY RIOTT
RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
You know that this is something unexpected right?! WrestleMania is around the corner and we had the potential 1/2 Main eventer like what? Stretching? Warming up? We already had the bad news that Becky 'The Man' Lynch is out of the equation (for now), with 60 days suspension.
This match has no real background, not a real story behind it. Aside from the fact that I enjoy to see Ruby Riott in the title picture at PPV, for now this title match is just for the sport.
Well I can handle that! Both Riott and Rousey are really great competitors and it's going to be a nice battle, with a lot of technical moves. Oh, and the rest of the Squad might be there to take some bumps, when Ronda goes after them.
But there other two big Question Marks ???:
Charlotte Flair will be in the audience, at the first row (that has never meant something good, it smells like confrontation at 100%). That won't distract Rousey that much or... maybe the Queen will affect her future(possible) WM opponent? That will be nice to be seen.
The other question: Is The Man really out of the picture and isn't it possible to see Lynch at Elimination Chamber attacking Flair, for example. Maybe Becky should injure Charlotte to get back in the title chase!?
Overall, I think that Rousey will retain. at 100 %. Sorry, Ruby, but you may have a WWE Women's Tag Team title moment. For now WWE is going with Ronda as Champion for WrestleMania. But, the #1 contender is still not that clear.
WWE WOMEN'S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP ELIMINATION CHAMBER'S MATCH
This is the most important match! We know that Rousey will retain, so our focus is on the newest women's title belts.
And we have 6 interesting teams that might win or simply deserve to win the (reintroduced) new WWE Women's Tag Team Championships!
They are totally different from raw power (Nia Jax and Tamina) through sneakiness (all the teams of Riott Squad, The IIconics and Deville and Rose), adding stunning athleticism and innovations (Naomi and Carmella) and Ultimate talents (Banks and Bayley). With that kind of diversity pool it's hard to peak one as eventual winner.
Let's check who is less possibly to win and maybe we will reach to our prediction for winners.
Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, might enter the match first next Boss 'N' Hug Connection, but ... these girls has some future. You know, if they inspire the creative teams, and be booked well, they might shine bright and even won titles. We even heard rumours about Deville and WWE plans to make her a big name. For now, they might bring fire to the competition, but they are not suitable enough to win it, because their heat is not enough.
I can't see the IIconics as title holders, neither. At this point, where they are, still adjusting to the Main roster reality, they are one of the less likely to win it, despite their characters and in-ring skills.
The Riott Squad is there to bring anarchy and that is what they will do. I won't be surprised if they survive to the final elimination. But to become champions - not yet, despite the great team dynamic.
I don't want to see Jax and Tamina winning this! They are possible winners, according to their power and strength. I don't wan them to win the belt, either as well. One dominant reign, as first reign is something boring for this new belt. They could win it later, when we start to be annoyed from the current or next champions.
We reached the last two competing teams. The Boss 'n' Hug Connection and Naomi and Carmella.
I think that Naomi and Carmella might reach the final of the match. But somehow I think that Naomi's rivalry with Mandy will come to cost them the match. I am putting them here, because I would like to see them working as a tag team in the future. I also think that it might be a good idea, to award them the belts, but... reconsidering: They are not ready to be the top women's tag team, at all.
I am for Bayley and whoever will join her. Yes! We will write about that in a separate article. I really think that this young and devoted woman deserves to write her name as the first WWE Women's Tag Team Champion as she has been sidelined enough. Now it's her time and I hope to see her and her partner eliminating the likes of Nia Jax and Tamina and The Riott Squad for the gold.
But this is wrestling, and WWE Creatives might shock us as nothing is secure and sure in that ring.
So, let's watch this Sunday!
