One of the most important things about introducing a new concept match is to keep the match exciting enough to the point that the WWE Universe will want to see it again. The first Elimination Chamber match was introduced back at Survivor Series 2002 which ended up becoming a themed pay-per-view just over seven years later.

Despite a number of classic matches took place between the years of 2002-2017, there was one thing that was missing from all of these matches – a women’s Elimination Chamber match. It would take a total of sixteen years before women stepped inside such a sadistic structure and marked another key moment in the women’s revolution.

This match not only marked another first for women’s wrestling, but it also showed that women had the ability to perform no matter what type of concept match they were given. The following year, the women fought in the structure again to compete to become the inaugural WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.
