At tonight’s WWE WrestleMania 40 Kickoff media event, there was a clarification regarding the upcoming Elimination Chamber match.
Making an announced appearance on stage at the event was Bianca Belair.
While she hyped up the crowd and discussed her dreams of continuing to be undefeated in big matches at WrestleMania, she noted that she may need to take some side roads to get there.
One side road appears to be perhaps through the Elimination Chamber match at the upcoming premium live event by the same name in Perth, Australia.
It was confirmed on the kickoff event that there would be an Elimination Chamber qualifying match on tomorrow night’s episode of WWE SmackDown (February 9) – Bianca Belair will have an Elimination Chamber qualifying match against Michin.
The news here is that despite the match determining who’ll challenge Raw’s Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship, there will be qualifiers from the SmackDown roster.
Elsewhere at the kickoff event, Becky Lynch made an unannounced appearance when she took the stage to come face-to-face with Ripley, implying it’ll be Lynch who wins the Chamber and challenges Ripley at Mania.
Ripley will be defending the title against Nia Jax at Elimination Chamber in Ripley’s home country of Australia.
