WWE will hold the Elimination Chamber at the end of this month and, due to this, several qualifying matches have been taking place in recent weeks on RAW and SmackDown.

The company held RAW today, live from the FedExForum, in Memphis, Tennessee, with one of the main matches of the night being Asuka vs. Nattie vs. Bayley.

The winner of the match would earn a spot in this year’s Women’s Elimination Chamber, in order to later secure an opportunity for one of the world titles at WrestleMania 42.

The match was very evenly contested, with all the competitors having the chance to win the bout. Despite the balance, it was Asuka who left the ring with the victory and the qualification. She won the match with the Asuka Lock, which was applied to Bayley.

Asuka joins Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley, and Tiffany Stratton, who had already qualified in recent weeks for the match.

The Japanese star stands out when it comes to competing inside the steel structure. She has already taken part in three matches of this type, in 2020, 2023, and 2025. This will be her fourth time in the Elimination Chamber.
