8 Brave Booking Steps WWE Have Already Taken In 2018

5. Presenting The First Ever All-Female Elimination Chamber

That faith will show again come Elimination Chamber.

There, WWE will present another first for women in the company by staging an all-female Chamber match for the Raw Women's Title. Champion Alexa Bliss will be joined by Bayley, Sasha Banks, Sonya Deville, Mandy Rose, and Mickie James in a match traditionally expected to be one of the most violent of the year.

There's no reason why it has taken so long to get a female Chamber bout, but again, this opportunity speaks to the talent currently on the roster; it's hard to imagine that a Chamber match during the Diva days with workers like Kelly Kelly and Eve Torres would come with the same pre-match excitement.

Keep in mind that WWE didn't necessarily need to promote a match like this. The "first ever" hype surrounding the Rumble would have been enough, and a simple multi-woman match between Bliss and the others may have sufficed here.

Credit is due then for pressing forward with new ideas.
