Is there really any other option? Well, there is: Tiffany Stratton could take the win in the women's Chamber bout then march onto 'Mania for a rematch against Jade Cargill. That doesn't sound very enticing though, and there's a case to be made that babyface Tiffany has run its course. A heel turn and possibly a jump to Raw would be the best thing for her right now.

Another possibility would be Alexa Bliss getting replaced by Charlotte Flair (who'd feign concern for her tag partner). Then, Flair might win out and challenge Jade herself before later revealing the truth about what happened to Bliss. Failing any of that, it's Rhea Ripley's match to lose.

Personally, yours truly thinks WWE will go with that now Bianca Belair looks set to miss the big dance this April. None of the other trio involved in the match (Raquel Rodriguez, Kiana James or Asuka) would feel WrestleMania worthy opposite Cargill at the moment, so it has to be 'Mami'. Then, Rhea can celebrate with her bud IYO SKY post-match and look forward to pulling double duty once the company rolls back into Las Vegas.

A storm is coming, although hopefully not literally as far as WWE are concerned. They don't want any 'Mania 37-esque weather disruptions! Yeah, let's go with Ripley beating Stratton once they're the final pair left in the Chamber match. That'd set wheels in motion for a Tiffany heel turn (it's about 'Tiffy Time'!) and give the April card(s) a neat looking collision between 2 alpha females.

'Mami' vs. Jade sounds class as a backup plan sans Belair.
