Elimination Chamber qualifiers begin on next week’s WWE Raw
The road to the Elimination Chamber begins on next week’s Raw.
It was announced prior to the main event segment of Monday’s show that qualifying matches for the Elimination Chamber match begin on next week. In recent years, whoever wins the Elimination Chamber goes on to challenge whoever the Royal Rumble winners don’t choose. No specific details were announced regarding who will be in the qualifiers.
Another match set for next week is Maxxine Dupri challenging Nattie, who turned against Dupri last month while she was challenging for the Women’s Intercontinental title. Natalya has since shed her previous persona and has officially adopted her new ‘Nattie’ character that she was used outside of WWE including at last year’s Bloodsport and on recent AAA events.
The Usos will also defend the World Tag Team titles against Otis and Akira Tozawa. The latter team won a three-way match on last week’s Raw to earn a shot at Jimmy & Jey.
Here is the lineup for next week’s Raw:
WWE Raw (February 9)
- Elimination Chamber qualifying matches begin
- World Tag Team titles: The Usos defend against Alpha Academy
- Maxxine Dupri vs. Nattie
