We are less than 30 days away from the biggest spectacle in all of sports entertainment as WrestleMania 36 is scheduled to take place on April 5, 2020, in Tampa, Florida. But before that, we have one last major stop on The Road to WrestleMania in the form of WWE Elimination Chamber. Set to take place this Sunday on March 8, 2020, the PPV is sure to have major implications on the match card of the Show of Shows.

One of the most anticipated matches announced for the show is the Elimination Chamber match to determine the challenger for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania 36. The match will see Natalya, Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott, Asuka, Sarah Logan, and Shayna Baszler enter the deadly structure and battle it out to earn themselves a shot at Becky Lynch's title at WrestleMania.

In this feature, we analyze five possible finishes for what is sure to be a thrilling match. Who are you rooting for? Be sure to let us know in the comments section below.


#5 Shayna Baszler enters first and wins in dominant fashion

If the build-up to this Elimination Chamber is anything to go by, one woman stands-out among all others - Shayna Baszler. The Queen of Spades has had an amazing showcase in the last month or so, starting from her entering the Royal Rumble at #30 and ending up just short of winning it all.

With many considering the former NXT Women's Champion to be the clear favorite to win the match, her winning in domineering fashion is one of the likeliest finishes to the match. Moreover, her entering the Chamber first and going on to outlast everyone and have 3 to 4 eliminations would portray her as a true threat to The Man's title.

#4 Shayna Baszler enters last and eliminates Natalya to win the match

WWE has been successful in establishing numerous mini-feuds between the six women involved in the Elimination Chamber match. Be it the Ruby-Liv-Sarah rivalry where the former teammates have turned on each other, or the Asuka-Shayna heat which was supposed to turn into a match this past week on RAW but was canceled.

But one major faceoff that got huge cheers from the WWE Universe during the contract signing was that between Natalya and Shayna Baszler. All these mini-rivalries are sure to make the Chamber match this Sunday much more exciting as it'll be interesting to see whether they can keep their issues aside to focus on the big prize.

While Shayna entering the match at #1 and dominating it would be a great way to showcase her talent, WWE can also play it out as they did during the contract signing on RAW by having her enter the match last. She can then wreak havoc on all the remaining Superstars. Natalya and Baszler as the final two, with the Queen of Spades proving to be too good for Nattie, would be a great finish!

#3 Natalya upsets everyone and grabs a title opportunity at WrestleMania

Honestly, its tough to see anyone else other than Shayna Baszler winning this match, thanks to the build-up of the story between her and Becky Lynch. But weren't we saying the same for The Fiend's clash with Goldberg at WWE Super ShowDown where we all got a major shocker? Okay let's not start discussing that again, it was just an example to prove that the only thing predictable about this business is that it is unpredictable!

But if there's any other Superstar who could maybe have a slight outside chance of winning the match other than Shayna, it has to be Natalya. Thanks to her confrontation with the former NXT Women's Champion, it isn't entirely impossible for Natalya to somehow pull off this massive upset and win the match.

Asuka is sure to be busy with her Tag Titles at WrestleMania, while the former Riott Squad seems to be heading towards a triple collision, leaving only Natalya as a possible winner other than Shayna Baszler.

Maybe someone helps her win the match? Or maybe the Queen of Spades somehow manages to steal the #1 contender's spot from Nattie later on. Less likely, but still possible!

#2 Ronda Rousey returns to help Shayna Baszler win

Time to jump to some fantasy booking, but won't it be amazing to see Ronda Rousey return and get herself involved in the mix? Of course, some of you might disagree saying it is Shayna Baszler's turn to have all the spotlight on her, and maybe you are right, but this is more of a fantasy finish to the match, the chances of which happening seem to be less. But remember, never say never in this business!

Rousey is great friends with Shayna Baszler, both of whom are part of the UFC four horsewomen group. Triple H himself has mentioned in interviews that she is not done with WWE and will surely return.

Mind you, it was Rousey whom Becky Lynch pinned at the main event of WrestleMania 35 to win the RAW Women's title which she still holds. Having her come out to help Baszler win the match could be the start of a long retribution storyline for The Baddest Women on the Planet.

Baszler is arguably the biggest threat for Becky's title, but with Ronda Rousey backing her up as well, The Man might just not be able to overcome them!

#1 Becky Lynch interferes and helps Shayna Baszler win the match

Wait! What? Why would Becky Lynch help Shayna Baszler win the match? Why would she want her to become her WrestleMania 36 opponent? Simple, because she is no coward of a Champion, she is The Man or the GOAT, as she likes to call herself these days.

The rivalry between Becky Lynch and Shayna Baszler started back at last year's Survivor Series PPV, where the two faced-off in a triple threat match involving the SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley as well. While Baszler managed to win the match by tapping out Bayley, it was Lynch who took her out after the match to end the PPV standing tall.

Fast forward to last month, the Queen of Spades attacked the RAW Women's Champion and bit her neck, making her intentions to take her down very clear.

The gimmick of The Man got popular because Becky Lynch started considering herself as the best, not fearing any competition. While her gimmick has evolved quite a lot since then, it would be great to see a determined Becky help Shayna win the match - only because she wants to face her at 'Mania!

This would be a great touch to the entire storyline and will surely raise the stakes for their match at WrestleMania 36!
