Did WWE Just Spoil Elimination Chamber: Perth?!

Triple H might've ruined Elimination Chamber during the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff.

Becky Lynch confronted Rhea Ripley during Thursday's WrestleMania 40 press event in Las Vegas, and the segment all-but-confirmed that 'The Man' will challenge 'Mami' for the Women's World Title next month.

Before then, WWE jets over to Australia for Elimination Chamber: Perth on 24 February. Lynch is scheduled to work a titular Chamber bout on the show alongside a handful of other women, but events in Vegas might've just given the game away completely.

Triple H and his writing team booked Becky and Rhea to go face-to-face, so it'd be a huge surprise if anybody else came out on the winning end at Chamber. That, in turn, kinda renders the match pointless unless WWE has a few more cards to play on TV over the next few weeks.

Fingers crossed on that.

In truth, Lynch had been making noise about challenging Ripley long before the 'Mania 40 presser anyway. She'd originally vowed to win the Royal Rumble, then beat the Judgment Day member afterwards. Bayley was given the Rumble nod instead though, meaning Chamber was Becks' only remaining chance.

So much for the drama, eh?
