9-time WWE champion to return as last-minute replacement; qualify for Elimination Chamber? Potential explored

WWE Elimination Chamber is on the horizon, and the card for the premium live event continues to shape up on this week's RAW, with two massive qualifying matches announced. On the women's side, Roxanne Perez is set to lock horns with Raquel Rodriguez in a qualifying match on the red brand.

However, things could turn around if Becky Lynch ends up replacing Perez at the last minute to qualify for the Elimination Chamber match. The Man has not been on WWE TV since May of last year and has been speculated to return to the squared circle very soon.

Roxanne Perez has been having some issues with Bayley over the past few weeks. The 23-year-old star dressed as the 'Hugger', a popular character of the Role Model, during last week's episode of NXT. Further, the two have brawled multiple times on NXT and also locked horns during the Women's Royal Rumble match this year.

Ahead of her qualifying match, Bayley could unleash an attack on Perez backstage, leading to the latter being medically uncleared to compete on the show. This could result in Raquel Rodriguez, along with Liv Morgan, claiming a victory by forfeit.

However, Adam Pearce could then come out to take the world by storm and announce a replacement for Perez: The Man. This would be a massive shocker for millions around the world, with Lynch going on to win the qualifying match and punching her ticket to Elimination Chamber.
