8 HUGE WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 Predictions You Need To Know
4. Women’s Championship Number One Comtender Elimination Chamber
Perhaps due to the lukewarm buzz around the line-up or the sort of half-a*sed booking that had plagued women’s wrestling for some time, Asuka goes into this as a heavy favourite.
Is this more about fan-casting than what WWE are telling you though? Her Royal Rumble rebadge was just that, but she’s messed around in the doldrums of this division ever since. Bianca Belair ideally needs a hot slot at ‘The Show Of Shows’ and the match is certainly that, but is this company really even that high on ‘The EST’ this year?
Rhea Ripley is the breakout star elect, and Belair inexplicably lost out on that match despite a red hot tease late last year. She’s too big a star to leave off the show, but maybe this won’t be the year she gets something on the scale of her prior two offerings.
If that’s the case, this is wide open. Raquel Rodriquez is the next breakout in waiting, but WrestleMania feels a bit of a reach right now. Liv Morgan will abuse herself for the art, Nikki Cross the same, but that rarely leads to victory in the Chamber. Natalya’s a steward working an angle with women not even in this.
So that just leaves Carmella.
Kept low-key since her comeback, she’s a good-not-great heel opposite Belair, and WWE have taken far more reckless gambles with Chamber winners than ‘The Princess Of Staten Island’. It’s a fresh match, an over-delivery if it’s awesome, and it could well be what they’re hiding in plain sight.
Winner - Carmella
