Jimmy Korderas talked about how WWE missed an opportunity for the women’s Elimination Chamber match this weekend.
Speaking on his Reffin’ Rant series, the longtime WWE referee was hoping for something different for the ladies’ number one contender bout.
Korderas said, “Monday was the go-home show for Elimination Chamber, and they made me look forward to certain matches, but there was one match that they could’ve put a little twist on and didn’t. Missed opportunity. The women’s match that main-evented the show, very good match, a three-way: Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch, Bayley. If Becky or Bayley won the match, they would enter as the seventh participant in the Elimination Chamber match, and the match would start as a three-way. But with Bianca winning, neither one of them will enter the match. I get the idea that you don’t want your champion pinned, but you could have had one of those other participants enter that match and have seven people in it to differentiate it from the men’s match, which has six people in it or from all other Elimination Chambers, which have six participants. I just think it was a missed opportunity to do something different without having to pin Bianca for one to get into the match.”
Asuka, Nikki Cross, Carmella, Liv Morgan, Natalya, and Raquel Rodriguez will battle to determine the No. 1 contender for Bianca Belair’s RAW Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39. Elimination Chamber will air Saturday night at 8:00 PM EST on Peacock in the U.S., and on the WWE Network internationally.
