Everybody has been buzzing about the first women’s Royal Rumble match that is currently planned to take place this Sunday night, but it looks like the female stars of WWE could be participating in another historic match at the following pay-per-view. Nevada’s T-Mobile Arena will be hosting Raw’s Elimination Chamber show in February, and the arena’s Twitter account may have accidentally revealed that a women’s Elimination Chamber match. The fact that 12 participants have been promised for the match, as opposed to the traditional six members, this means that we could be in for a second Chamber match on the show. Alexa Bliss on the promotional poster as well, thus suggesting that the female stars will get the chance to enter the structure.

WWE announced that Bobby Roode will be putting his United States Championship on the line as he issues an open challenge during the Royal Rumble kickoff show. Since then, several other aspects relating to the pre-show have been revealed. 205 Live may currently be without a champion, but the cruiserweights will still have a role on the Royal Rumble card this weekend. The show is now confirmed to feature a six-man tag team match pitting the masked trio of Kalisto, Lince Dorado, & Gran Metalik against TJP, “The Extraordinary Gentleman” Jack Gallagher, & Drew Gulak. This match has also been confirmed to be taking place during the two-hour kickoff show.

That is not the only new match that has been announced for the Royal Rumble. Fans can expect to see a follow-up to the Revival vs. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson match from Raw this past Monday night. The teams will be competing against each other once again. The show also features a Raw Tag Team Championship match with The Bar taking on Jason Jordan & Seth Rollins, and then another match with The Usos putting the Smackdown Tag Team Championships on the line against Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin. Plenty of tag team action is planned for the show this weekend, but it will be “every man for himself” during the actual Royal Rumble match later in the show.
