WWE Elimination Chamber 2017: 10 Things That Must Happen

10. One Of The Women's Matches Opens The Show

In one of his most recent blogs, WWE Hall Of Fame announcer Jim Ross wrote about the female thread running through January's Royal Rumble show. No less than 3 women's bouts were dotted throughout the card, and the exact same thing will happen on Sunday.

It'd be futile to complain about overkill when it comes to the women of WWE; claiming that these ladies don't deserve the spotlight, after years of being overlooked and used as a side attraction, would be harsh. Every female match at Elimination Chamber has merit.

Still, WWE must be careful not to bunch all of the female matches together, thus spoiling the unique flavour of each rivalry. One of the women's matches has to open up Elimination Chamber, whether that be as a Kickoff bout on the pre-show or on the main pay-per-view portion itself.

Right now, the best candidate for this is Nikki Bella vs. Natalya. There's fire in the personal issues between both women, and that would be the ideal way to set the pay-per-view's brutal tone right from the off.
