Raw Women’s Title Match Added to WWE Elimination Chamber on Feb. 17, Updated Lineup
A new match has been added to the WWE Elimination Chamber lineup and it features two women with RR initials as Ronda Rousey will defend the Raw Women’s Championship against Ruby Riott.
Last week on Raw, Rousey beat Riott Squad members, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan, easily. Rousey wanted to face Riott as well, but Riott backed away. In my WWE Raw Deal review, I wrote that I thought it meant they would do the match next week at Raw or at Elimination Chamber since Rousey needed a match. Obviously, WWE is going with Elimination Chamber for it.
Will Riott win the title from Rousey? No. It’s not going to happen. This is likely just a tune-up match for Rousey on the road to WrestleMania.
Ruby’s Riott Squad friends Morgan and Logan commented on the match on Twitter:
Almost one year & three months ago, the #RiottSquad debuted at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas… In nine days, everything comes full circle & we all leave that same building as champions. #WWEChamber#WWEWomensTagTeamChampions#RawWomensChampion @sarahloganwwe @RubyRiottWWE pic.twitter.com/jxaSFv1MSH

We debuted at the Toyota Center in Houston and laid waste to the entire womens division. And I'll be damed if we're not going to do it again. #WWEChamber#WWEWomensTagTeamChampions#RawWomensChampion
