WWE added a match to Sunday's Elimination Chamber 2021 pay-per-view on SmackDown, but they also appear to have removed another that was already announced.

It looks like Lacey Evans challenging Asuka for the Raw Women's Title is off the show. That'll be due to Lacey's pregnancy, but don't be surprised if Asuka still defends against...somebody at the weekend.

The bout WWE added on SmackDown is Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair teaming up to vie for the Women's Tag-Team Titles against reigning champs Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. This is clearly designed to fill time before Belair and Banks go one-on-one come WrestleMania 37; that's not set in stone, but seems to be the most likely outcome.

Everything else that was announced is intact.

Bobby Lashley defends the United States belt against Keith Lee and Riddle in a three-way, Drew McIntyre puts his WWE Title on the line inside the Elimination Chamber, and there's another Chamber match to establish a fresh challenger for Universal Champ Roman Reigns - he'll face the winner of that one immediately afterwards.

WWE will likely add in another match to replace Lacey vs. Asuka. Again, it could be a routine exhibition challenge for the latter's gold.
