8 booking steps toward Paige vs. Asuka at WrestleMania 34

Step 4: The Women's Dark Ages

It's Paige's house again.

After breezing through her rematch with Alexa Bliss with the assistance of Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, Paige essentially declares that the RAW women's division is her personal fiefdom. Absolution rules the roost, continuing to do what they've always done in destroying any resistance. Should she be out of the 205 Live prison by this point, Nia Jax may try her luck, but is ultimately overwhelmed by the trio.

Paige promptly declares that there is no one left to conquer, but Kurt Angle disagrees.

Now the 12th of February, he announces that for the first time ever, there will be a women's Elimination Chamber match at the eponymous pay-per-view on February 25th, that the winner will challenge Paige at WrestleMania, and that qualifying matches begin...tonight.

At the end of the last of these matches for that night, Absolution lays a beating on victor and defeated alike, and an all-out war ensues as more women join the fray, but the vicious trio gains the upper hand. Yet, everything pauses as the lights dim, a certain mask appears on the titantron, and some familiar notes hit.
