Asuka Wins Elimination Chamber, Set To Face Bianca Belair At WrestleMania

At the 2023 Elimination Chamber event, Asuka would enter the chamber last and outlast five other women to punch her ticket to WrestleMania.

The match started with Liv Morgan and Natalya and lasted nearly 20 minutes. Big spots in the match included Nikki Cross delivering a cross body off the top of Carmella’s pod. Morgan hit a sunset flip from the top of a pod to Raquel Rodriguez. And there was also a moment where Rodriguez drove Cross in through a pod that Carmella was trying to keep herself in.

The first elimination was by Rodriguez to Cross. The second and surprising elimination was Morgan, but she didn’t go out easy. She would end up passing out in both the Sharpshooter by Natalya and a combo submission from Asuka. Carmella would eliminate Natalya about 17 minutes into the match by pinfall. Rodriguez was eliminated by Carmella and Asuka leaving us with the final two.

Carmella immediately hit a superkick on Asuka trying to get the surprise victory, but Asuka was able to kick out. Finally, Asuka got Carmella into submission which cause the Princess of Staten Island to tap out.

Asuka will be facing Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania making the second women’s match confirmed for the two-night event. Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley will do battle for the SmackDown Women’s Title.

Speaking of Ripley, the Royal Rumble winner, had a huge match at this event alongside Finn Balor. They faced the team of Beth Phoenix and Edge. A longtime coming match between the Grit Couple and the Judgment Day.

In one of the best mixed tag team matches in years, the four competitors put on one heck of a match. Lastly nearly 14 minutes, it would be Phoenix and Edge to pick up the big win in Canada. Edge would pin Balor.

Great event overall!

Asuka Builds Momentum Heading Into Elimination Chamber

Asuka picked up a big win against Liv Morgan on the Feb. 17 episode heading into the weekend. Tomorrow, Feb. 18 will be the fifth women’s Elimination Chamber Match in history which will include both Asuka and Morgan. The other four women in that match will be Carmella, Nikki Cross, Natalya, and Raquel Rodriguez.

On SmackDown, Carmella took to commentary while Asuka and Morgan squared up in the ring. The match was very equal between both women with each hitting some great spots. This included a codebreaker from Morgan to Asuka from the top turnbuckle.

With Carmella on commentary, the rest of the chamber participants had to emerge. First was Rodriguez who had heard enough of Carmella talking bad about her. Carmella complimented her big back to try and calm her down.

Cross would jump on the commentary desk and sit in the lap of Wade Barrett while asking if Michael Cole would be her best friend. Natalya would join and watch from the other side of the ring. Carmella wasn’t pleased with Barrett’s commentary so started doing it herself.

The final moments of the match had Morgan get caught up in the ropes going for ObLIVion but Asuka misses wildly with a kick. Morgan rolls up Asuka for a count of two but Asuka locks in a submission causing Morgan to tap.

Post-match, all members of the chamber match get involved in the ring. Carmella lands a superkick on Asuka before Natalya takes down Carmella with the lariat. Cross then executes a swinging neck breaker on Natalya before Rodriguez lands Cross on the mat with a Tejana Bomb. Rodriguez helps Morgan back up who is in the corner. As the two take a look up at the chamber that is hanging above the ring, Morgan takes out Rodriguez with a codebreaker. Asuka lands a roundhouse kick to Rodriguez as well. Both Morgan and Asuka lock eyes before Morgan leaves the ring.

The other women’s match of the night opened the show and it was a tag team match with Natalya teaming up with Shotzi to take on Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler. Both Nattie and Shotzi have unfinished business with Rousey and Baszler for attacking them in the past which is why they have joined up.

The final moments of the match had Rousey in trouble as she was in the Sharpshooter by Natalya for quite some time. Baszler distracted Natalya which made her break the hold. Baszler pulled Natalya out of the ring for Rousey to lock in a submission on Shotzi who tapped out.

B-Fab and Hit Row performed only to be taken out by Bray Wyatt and Uncle Howdy.

A Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley Segment is set for next week.

Flair & Deville Brawl On SmackDown; Rodriguez Added To Royal Rumble

For those that missed the Jan. 13 episode of SmackDown, there were two women’s matches and a segment involving SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair continuing a feud with Sonya Deville.

The first women we saw during the night was a backstage segment between Liv Morgan, Maxxine Dupri, Emma, and Raquel Rodriguez. In the locker room, both Emma and Maxxine were questioning Morgan’s desire to enter the Royal Rumble in the number one position. Emma was giving her advice more out of care whereas Maxxine pretty much said she was dumb to want to enter at number one.

Rodriguez would enter the conversation and agree with both Emma and Maxxine. Morgan took offense to this and said she recently had her palm read. She wanted Rodriguez to take a look at her palm but instead, Morgan slapped her across the face. Rodriguez said she is tired of people not realizing she is the strongest woman in the locker room. This led to a match between the two later in the night. Rodriguez also declared herself for the Rumble.

The first match was between Tegan Nox and Xia Li. It was a quick affair between the two only lasting a few minutes. The winner of the match would be Nox after she avoided a spinning kick from Li. Nox hit the Shiniest Wizard to get the pinfall victory.

Valhalla was involved in a Viking Raiders vignette calling out Drew McIntyre & Sheamus.

The second match as mentioned earlier was Morgan facing Rodriguez. Lasting a bit longer than the first women’s match, this one went to Rodriguez. As the match came to its conclusion, Morgan pulled out a table despite this not being any type of stipulation match. She set it up and placed Rodriguez on top of it on the outside. As Morgan climbed to the top, Rodriguez would roll off the table and got back in the ring. Still on the turnbuckle, Morgan went to hit a crossbody but was swatted down by Rodriguez. Rodriguez followed up with the Tejana Bomb to get the pin.

Lastly, Sonya Deville was backstage in Adam Pearce’s office demanding a rematch for the SmackDown Women’s Title against Charlotte Flair. Deville failed to get the victory last week and wants another match. Pearce explained to her that’s not how it works, she just lost and has to go to the back of the line. Deville wouldn’t accept this and said she will get her rematch essentially her way.

Moments later after a commercial break, Deville attacked Flair backstage and the two entered into a brawl. The brawl was broken up multiple times by officials but it did last a few minutes.

Xia Li Assists Damage CTRL To Retain The Women’s Tag Team Titles

On the Dec. 16 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Damage CTRL successfully retained their Women’s Tag Team Championships after defeating Liv Morgan and Tegan Nox. However, they did have some help, and not just from Bayley.

The match opened the show and the two teams put on a solid match but it reached its conclusion after Nox had a moment with Bayley at the time keeper area. Nox dumped Bayley over the barricade in order to remove her from the situation when a woman in a hoodie kicked Nox. The assailant would be dragged to the back by security immediately after the attack.

This allowed IYO SKY to get Nox back in the ring, deliver a moonsault, and pin her to retain the tag titles for Damage CTRL.

A little later during the show, a WWE Exclusive appeared on WWE’s social media. It would show the hooded assailant being brought to the back as Adam Pearce would reveal who it was that attacked Nox. It would end up being Xia Li. Pearce would order her to go to his office, but there was no follow-up on this for the rest of the show.

Other women from this episode includes Zelina Vega, Valhalla, and B-Fab. Much like last week, all three women were at ringside for their respective stables. There was a triple threat of Hit Row, The Vking Raiders, and Legado del Fantasma to determine the number one contenders for the men’s tag team titles.

During the match, Vega would get involved as she hit Ashante Thee Adonis with a head scissor takedown. B-Fab delivered a bicycle kick to Vega knocking her out of the ring before Valhalla kicked B-Fab in the throat. Both B-Fab and Valhalla were on the outside by commentary when Vega would launch off the second rope and lay out Valhalla.

Lastly, Raquel Rodriguez would be interviewed backstage. She confirmed that she would be in the Gauntlet match set for next week to determine the number one contender for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Shayna Baszler and current SmackDown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey would appear and attack the already injured Rodriguez.

Tegan Nox Makes WWE Return On Dec. 2 SmackDown

Tegan Nox made her WWE return on the Dec. 2 episode of Friday Night SmackDown.

Nox returned to help Liv Morgan combat Damage CTRL. The trio that includes the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions (Dakota Kai & IYO SKY) made the trip to SmackDown to call out the division. They rehashed WarGames and stated no one on SmackDown even participated.

Morgan’s music hits and she answers Bayley and the tag champs’ claims. She says it appears that they have a problem with the SmackDown women’s locker room. Morgan states that on behalf of the women’s locker room she would handle this. Showing no signs of worry, Morgan counted the three against one odds and said it sounded fair to her as she raced to the ring.

The numbers games started to get too much for Morgan which is when Nox’s music hit. Nox raced to the ring and started to battle with Damage CTRL as commentary refers to her past with Kai. With Morgan already down, it became three on one this time against Nox.

Morgan brought in a kendo stick to even the odds some as she takes out all three members of Damage CTRL, breaking the stick on Bayley. Nox delivers the Shiniest Wizard on Bayley causing the faction to retreat.

Nox has not wrestled elsewhere during her time away from WWE. She was released in November 2021. She was formerly in a tag team with Shotzi on SmackDown before the draft broke up the team and sent her to Raw where she would never make her debut before being released.
