#1 The dominator
Shayna Baszler was the obvious favorite to win the women’s Elimination Chamber match with Ruby Riott seeming like the next biggest threat.
However, before the event, I’d hoped that the creatives would allow Baszler to dominate during the match and run through all the other competitors, and that is exactly what happened in this one.
Ruby Riott and Natalya started the match with Sarah Logan coming in next. Baszler and Liv Morgan were next with Asuka entering last. However, Baszler ran through all her opponents as she eliminated Logan first, followed by Riott, Natalya, and Morgan.
Asuka and Baszler were the final two in the ring, and while Asuka would have had as much of a chance as Baszler had she not been the Women’s Tag Team Champion and wouldn’t have feuded with Becky Lynch recently, she didn’t stand a chance against The Queen of Spades.
Having Baszler win was the obvious choice but it was the way in which she won that was the right call to make. Lynch won the RAW Women’s Championship last year at WrestleMania 35 and no one has been able to match her on RAW since. Baszler seems like her biggest threat to date, and the build-up towards this clash needed the challenger to get all the momentum behind her.
