The woman who will challenge for the Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania 39 will emerge from the women's Elimination Chamber next week.

WWE official Adam Pearce announced the chamber match Monday night in the wake of Rhea Ripley announcing that she was using her Royal Rumble shot to challenge SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair at Mania, leaving Bianca Belair and her Raw title without a dance partner.

The six women are being determined very interestingly. Pearce said that the other four finalists in Saturday's women's Rumble match - Asuka, Raquel Rodriguez, Liv Morgan and Nikki Cross - all automatically qualified, leaving two slots. He announced a fatal four-way match for one of those spots, with Carmella, Mia Yim, Candice LeRae and Piper Niven squaring off.

There's no word on how they will determine who the sixth and final entrant will be, but odds are that will be announced next week... or possibly as soon as SmackDown, considering that two SmackDown stars already have qualified for the chamber match.
