WWE Elimination Chamber 2023: 10 Things That Must Happen
5. Asuka Wins The Women’s Chamber
Look at the wrestlers involved for a second, then ask yourself one question. Who else fits the bill as Bianca Belair's opponent come WrestleMania 39? Raquel Rodriguez is in the 'maybe' pile, but it's probs far too soon for her to convincingly work some sort of babyface vs. babyface bout like that.
Nah, Asuka wins all day long.
Becky Lynch and Bayley losing their chance to be involved pretty much confirms that the Japanese star is getting a hefty payday come Hollywood. She's inarguably the most impressive wrestler working this Chamber match, and it'd be a total surprise if say...Natalya got the nod.
Sadly, Belair's latest marquee match is going to play backup in the women's division this year. Becky vs. Bayley and Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair are both bigger bouts compared to her vs. Asuka. That's not a knock, but more a commentary on the last-minute vibes to the Raw title scene.
