Bianca Belair Keeps Bayley And Lynch Out Of The Elimination Chamber Match

by

The main event of the Feb. 13 episode of Raw had huge implications. A triple threat which was formed after the opening segment.

The Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair took on both Becky Lynch and Bayley. If either Lynch or Bayley won they would be added to this weekend’s Elimination Chamber match. Belair had to win to keep the field at six and prevent either Bayley or Lynch an opportunity to face her at WrestleMania.

The match was given plenty of time in the main event which of course prompted the other members of Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai & IYO SKY) and Women’s Tag Team Champions to get involved. The final moments of the match saw the six participants already involved in the chamber match to come down and go after the tag champs. This led to the participants to fight amongst themselves also. Earlier in the night, Natalya expressed to Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan that she didn’t think it was fair for either Bayley or Lynch to get into the chamber match.

After a ManHandle Slam to Bayley, Lynch got caught by Belair in the KOD. Belair landed Lynch on top of Bayley who then rolled out allowing the Raw Women’s Champion to get the pin and the victory. Belair’s victory means that neither Bayley nor Lynch have a clear ride to WrestleMania and will not be participating in the Elimination Chamber match this Saturday.

There were two other matches on the Feb. 13 episode of Raw. First, Michin Mia Yim took on Piper Niven. Niven was not happy after last week when she felt that both Yim and Candice LeRae got in her way of a victory. In that match, it would be Carmella who secured the final spot in the chamber much to Niven’s dismay.

Niven was able to pick up the victory on Yim.

Lastly, we had the advertised six woman tag match. It involved all six participants for the chamber match in a Raw vs. SmackDown idea. Asuka, Carmella, and Nikki Cross took on Rodriguez, Morgan, and Natalya.

The match broke down to even Asuka going after her own teammates, but in the end she held it together and got the victory for the Raw ladies. Morgan tapped out.

Other women we saw on the show included Maxxine Dupri. Dupri has her eyes on Otis and tried to recruit him in a backstage segment.

Chelsea Green continued to pull double duty on both shows as she appeared to give the manager, Adam Pearce, another hard time. Green said she wouldn’t leave Pearce’s office without being added to the Triple Threat and get a chance to enter the chamber match. Pearce confirmed that wasn’t happening. Green then accused Pearce of trying to touch her before he walked away.

Rhea Ripley returned from her absence last week and made sure to save Dominik. She delivered a Riptide to Beth Phoenix ahead of their mixed tag match this weekend.

Lita Returns To Raw, Helps Lynch Defeat Bayley In Steel Cage

by

Fans finally got the steel cage match between Becky Lynch and Bayley on the Feb. 6 episode of Raw. And what made it better was it being in the main event where it belongs. The match would end with Lynch victorious after delivering a ManHandle Slam, however, she did get some help. Some help from a Hall of Famer – Lita.

The final moments of the match had Bayley trying to win by escaping the cage. She climbed to the top but Lynch followed her. Lynch tried locking in the DisarmHer on the top of the cage but couldn’t get all of it. Bayley fell down the cage inside the ring to the mat.

With Lynch still at the top of the cage, IYO SKY climbed up and traded blows with Lynch. This continued until she was able to get Lynch back down to the ring. SKY wasn’t able to get back down the cage before Lita’s music hit. She ran down to the ring, pulled SKY off the cage before making sure Dakota Kai wasn’t an issue either. She then slammed the steel cage door on Bayley allowing Lynch to hit her finisher for the win.

From one Hall of Famer to another, we now know that Beth Phoenix will team with Edge to face Rhea Ripley and Finn Balor at Elimination Chamber.

Carmella Qualifies For Last Spot In The Elimination Chamber

by

Carmella has made her in-ring return to Raw and in a big way. She qualified for the last spot for the Elimination Chamber match by winning a Fatal 4-Way that also included Michin Mia Yim, Candice LeRae, and Piper Niven.

Final moments of the match had Carmella in charge against LeRae in the corner. Carmella sidestepped which allowed Niven to hit a cannonball on LeRae. A super kick by the Princess of Staten Island on Niven took her out of the match. She stacked up LeRae to get the pin.

Carmella now joins Raquel Rodriguez, Liv Morgan, Asuka, Nikki Cross, and Natalya for the Elimination Chamber on Feb. 18. The winner of the match will face Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39.


In a backstage segment post match, Niven ran into LeRae and Yim. She warned them to never get in her way for a championship opportunity again.

A six woman tag team match has been booked for next week’s Raw as the women in the chamber from the red brand take on the women in the chamber from the blue brand. Carmella, Cross, and Asuka vs. Rodriguez, Morgan, and Natalya.

Nikki Cross has finally been caught stalking Candice LeRae. Dexter Lumis drew a picture of Cross watch the Garganos as she was actually watching them. Cross ran off.


Chelsea Green also had a short match against Asuka. All the chamber participants were at ringside. Green was more focused on the women outside the ring which allowed Asuka to get the submission victory. Post match, the Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair came out to say she looks forward to see who she will be facing at WrestleMania.

Bayley Comments On Steel Cage Match Being Cut From Raw

by

Many women’s wrestling fans were not happy by the middle of the Raw XXX episode which took place on Jan. 23. If it wasn’t for the lack of women’s legends to celebrate 30 years of Raw, it was the advertised match between Bayley and Becky Lynch inside of a steel cage did not happen. What ended up taking place was Damage CTRL attacking Lynch inside the cage before making their escape.

According to a report from Fightful Select after this occurrence, it was reported that the opening segment of the Trial of Sami Zayn with the Bloodline ran too long which caused other parts of the show (primarily the women’s steel cage match) to be trimmed.

In an interview with Ariel Helwani over Royal Rumble weekend for BT Sports, Bayley spoke about how she felt about the situation. The clip above was originally posted on the WWE on BT Sports Twitter account but has since been deleted.

“I felt good. I honestly think it put our story in a whole different place. I think it did a lot for Damage CTRL. So I’m super happy with it.”

She continues to say that she is not bummed about the match being cut and was asked if she saw the support of the fans online.

“I did, which is cool. They have our backs and stuff, but I don’t want them to think that women’s wrestling is moving backward or that we’re not seen in the same light as Roman Reigns or anybody like that. We are very appreciated backstage, we’re treated super well, and we are a part of big conversations when it comes to big stories, big matches, big premium live events. We’re in conversations with that. I don’t want the fans to get the wrong idea with what happened. It was just what happened, happened. We’re going to make the best of it and they’re going to see how it made everything so much bigger and better.”

In conjunction with what took place at Raw XXX, the Bella Twins who were originally advertised but could not attend spoke about the lack of women’s representation. You can read about Nikki Bella’s comments here and also watch what they had to say on Tamron Hall below.

Alexa Bliss Is The Face Of Evil; Two More Names Added To The Rumble

by

The Jan. 9 episode of Raw had Alexa Bliss explaining her actions against Bianca Belair last week plus two women’s matches take place.

First, Bliss had her segment as she stepped on top of the commentary desk. She took to the mic to address what took place last week. Commentary confirmed that Belair walked away from what took place with just some stitches.

Bliss started by saying that Belair may be the Raw Women’s Champion but it would be Bliss that is the only one here. She says once she busted Belair’s face open she decided to go run and hide. This confirms that Belair doesn’t need to be afraid of Bray Wyatt or Uncle Howdy, she is only afraid of Bliss. Why is this? Because Bliss is the face of evil and she doesn’t feel bad about what she did because she hasn’t felt this good in a really long time.

Bliss adds that she has finally taken control and she has the whole world in her hands and she isn’t afraid to use her hands to tear more scars into Belair’s face and take the Raw Women’s Championship from her.

After claiming that she would become champion, Bliss was interrupted by a shot of a playground and flash of images from her past time as evil Alexa. Uncle Howdy would then appear and make his way out on stage. The segment then went to a commercial break and as we come back we did not see Bliss or Howdy but instead moved on to the first women’s match of the night.

The first of two women’s matches was Michin taking on Bayley. Last week, Michin had Becky Lynch’s back against Damage CTRL and served as her tag team partner. This week, Lynch was not present which allowed Bayley to get into the head of Michin.

The match came down to an exchange in the corner leading up to a backslide by Bayley. The pin was assisted with Bayley’s foot on the ropes that the referee never saw. A three count gave Bayley the victory leaving Michin visibly upset in the ring.

Later in the night, Damage CTRL were having an interview when Michin came up to address the cheating victory. All three members attacked Michin showing how Lynch is nowhere to be seen when Michin really needed her.

Next up we have Candice LeRae being interviewed backstage. Nikki Cross is spying on her for about the 9th week in a row and we still don’t know why. LeRae provides an update on Johnny Gargano stating that he is out with an injury. She was then asked what is next for her and she commented on the Royal Rumble essentially stating that she intends on being in the Rumble.

Rhea Ripley would interrupt her and laughs at LeRae’s statement of a potential Rumble victory. After calling her delusional, LeRae states that she has just a good of a chance to win the Rumble as Ripley does. The two decide to take things to the next level and have a match.

The match came down to an attack from Ripley on LeRae on the outside. As LeRae attempted a cross body she was caught by Ripley who would then toss her into the barricae multiple times and even apply the triangle submission. Once back in the ring, Ripley set up LeRae for the Riptide to get the victory.

Royal Rumble participants confirmed –

  • Liv Morgan
  • Candice LeRae
  • Rhea Ripley
