WWE Raw Preview (2/6): Becky Lynch Vs. Bayley Steel Cage Match, Elimination Chamber Qualifying Matches
Becky Lynch is finally set to face Bayley inside a steel cage on tonight's episode of "WWE Raw" in Orlando, Florida. The former friends will collide in the gimmick match after their original caged clash was called off during "Raw XXX" after Damage CTRL attacked "The Man" before the bout could even get underway. Last week, following a war of words that saw Bayley claim Lynch wasn't even good enough for her real-life husband Seth "Freakin" Rollins, the Irish star issued the steel cage challenge to give fans the match they were robbed of last month. Lynch eventually coaxed "The Role Model" into accepting after threatening to strike a vulnerable Dakota Kai with a steel chair on the stage.
Additionally, The Street Profits' Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford will have the opportunity to clinch the final two places in the upcoming Elimination Chamber match for the WWE United States Championship. The former "Raw" Tag Team Champions are set to compete in individual qualifying matches, with Dawkins facing The Judgment Day's Damian Priest and Ford going up against Elias. Whoever emerges victorious from those two high-stakes clashes will join Rollins, Bronson Reed, Johnny Gargano, and the reigning champion, Austin Theory, inside the steel structure on February 18.
WWE official Adam Pearce announced last week that a women's Elimination Chamber match would determine who will face Bianca Belair for the "Raw" Women's Championship at WrestleMania 39. The news came after 2023 women's Royal Rumble winner Rhea Ripley opted to challenge for the "SmackDown" Women's Championship in April. We will find out tonight who will join Liv Morgan, Nikki Cross, Asuka, Raquel Rodriguez, and Natalya in next weekend's premium live event bout when Carmella, Piper Niven, Candice LeRae, and Michin collide in a fatal four-way qualifying match.
