Natalya Qualifies For Elimination Chamber Match

by

On the Feb. 3 episode of Friday Night SmackDown a Fatal 4-Way match took place to determine who would qualify for a spot in the Elimination Chamber. Natalya earned the spot by winning the match. Shotzi, Shayna Baszler, and Zelina Vega participated in the match.

The final moments saw Vega locked into a Kirifuda Clutch by Baszler who had to let go as Natalya went and missed with the discus clothesline. Baszler then locked in the clutch on Natalya but she was able to escape and push Baszler out of the ring. This let Natalya lock in the Sharpshooter on Vega to get the submission victory.

Natalya makes the fifth woman qualified for the Elimination Chamber Match on Feb. 18. It will be a number one contender match for the Raw Women’s Championship against Bianca Belair at WrestleMania. She joins Liv Morgan, Nikki Cross, Raquel Rodriguez, and Asuka who are already in the match.

On the upcoming Feb. 6 episode of Raw, we will see another Fatal 4-Way qualifying match to confirm the last entry into the chamber. It will be Candice LeRae vs. Michin Mia Yim vs. Piper Niven vs. Carmella.

Also on SmackDown, Charlotte Flair successfully defended her title against Sonya Deville. So her match against Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania is still intact. Flair retained after locking in the Figure Eight submission.

Over on NXT Level Up this week, Sol Ruca took on Lash Legend and came out with the victory after hitting Sol Snatcher.

Michelle McCool Credits The Fans For Her Royal Rumble Appearance

by

Michelle McCool ended up being the one legend in this year’s Royal Rumble match. A match that did have a few other surprises including the WWE returns of Chelsea Green and Nia Jax. Natalya, Shotzi, Asuka, and Piper Niven also returned from their absences as well.

Prior to the Royal Rumble event, McCool commented on her social media that she did not receive a call this year despite the show being in her home state. She took to her social media today to thank the WWE Universe for her appearance. She states that because of the comments from the fans within the last two weeks she did get the call. It was nine days prior to the Rumble which was indeed after she said she did not receive a call.

McCool’s entrance was unique as she was in the front row watching the show with her family. She would enter the Rumble from there and would immediately start the fight with Tamina at ringside. She lasted nearly 14 minutes and eliminated Tamina and also helped with the Nia Jax elimination. McCool was eliminated by Rhea Ripley.

The former four-time champion has appeared in two prior Rumbles. The inaugural one was in 2018 and the other in 2022. She has had eight eliminations between all three appearances.

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.
