Rhea Ripley earned her place in the upcoming Women’s Elimination Chamber match, joining Tiffany Stratton who qualified last week on SmackDown. Ripley secured her spot on Monday’s Raw by winning a Triple Threat match against Ivy Nile and Lyra Valkyria, intensifying anticipation for the February 28 event.
The match saw Nile dominate significant portions, impressing commentators, especially with her aggressive offense. Near the end, Ripley attempted her signature Riptide move on Nile, but it was countered into a backstabber. Nile shifted focus to Valkyria, landing a sunset flip in the corner. Valkyria retaliated with her Nightwing maneuver, but Ripley interrupted the pin attempt with a running knee strike. She then finished the bout by executing Riptide on Valkyria for the decisive pinfall.
Upcoming Matches Set to Decide Additional Elimination Chamber Participants
The roster for the Women’s Elimination Chamber continues to take shape with several qualifiers yet to be decided. On February 13’s SmackDown, Alexa Bliss will face Giulia and Zelina in a triple threat match. Following that, February 16’s Raw will feature Bayley, Asuka, and Nattie competing for a spot inside the steel structure.
Nattie has embraced a new persona, showcased during her recent bout with Maxxine Dupri. Despite Dupri catching Nattie off guard early with an ankle lock, the match concluded with a double count-out as the fight spilled outside the ring. Nattie later locked in her Sharpshooter submission on the announce desk, but intervention came when AJ Lee’s music played and she rushed to assist Dupri. Becky Lynch then stunned Lee with a surprise attack, adding tension as Lee secured a Women’s Intercontinental Title match at the Elimination Chamber.

The segment escalated when Morgan called Vaquer a “puta,” provoking Vaquer to slap Dominik Mysterio, further intensifying the unsettled atmosphere surrounding Morgan’s WrestleMania decision.
