Before WrestleMania 38, WWE will make a pitstop in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for its Elimination Chamber event. Inside the Jeddah Super Dome, WWE will put on the seventh event in Saudi Arabia thanks to a partnership with the Saudi government.
One of the key matches heading into the event is the Elimination Chamber match. Not only will the men compete in the match, but so will the women. On the line is a chance to face Becky Lynch for the RAW Women’s Title at WrestleMania.
Six women will enter the chamber, with four of them locked in a pod. Two women will start the match, and, after a few moments, someone will come out of a pod. It is considered one of the most dangerous matches in WWE history.
Competing in the match will be a plethora of former champions and title contenders. Bianca Belair joins Alexa Bliss, Doudrop, Rhea Ripley, Nikki A.S.H. and Liv Morgan. Who will walk out of the Elimination Chamber match with an opportunity to fight for gold?

WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 odds for the women’s Elimination Chamber match
According to the latest from BetOnline, Bianca Belair is the -200 favorite to win the Elimination Chamber match. That would mean a $200 wager will result in a $100 profit. Alexa Bliss, who just made her return not long ago, is the closest to Belair at +200. That means that a $200 wager will result in a $400 profit. Right after Bliss is Rhea Ripley, who is the +300 underdog. A $300 wager would result in a $900 profit.
The rest of the field shows Liv Morgan as a +700 underdog, Doudrop as the +1000 underdog, and Nikki A.S.H. at +2500.

Women’s WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 prediction
It was initially thought that Ronda Rousey would face Becky Lynch at WrestleMania. With Rousey choosing to fight Charlotte Flair, that leaves a few options for Lynch. Like the men’s match, there seems to be an almost too obvious prediction here.
Rhea Ripley has been involved in a story with Nikki A.S.H. for a while now. A former champion, Ripley may end up getting distracted by Nikki. In a sense, both cancel one another out.
Doudrop and Liv Morgan already received title opportunities against Lynch, both losing. That leaves Alexa Bliss and Bianca Belair. With Bliss, it is unknown what WWE has planned for her now that The Fiend/Bray Wyatt is no longer with the company. She still utilizes the same gimmick she had with him, but Bliss is recently going through a transformation of sorts via therapy sessions. Fightful Select has reported that Bliss has a few more therapy sessions that will be released on WWE programming. It is unknown, however, if there are plans for her outside of those sessions.
The only competitor left is the one that has the best story to tell against Lynch. Bianca Belair lost the then-SmackDown Women’s Title at last year’s SummerSlam against a retuning Lynch. The story was that Sasha Banks didn’t show up, Lynch came back, and Belair was not prepared for her, so she lost in 26 seconds. Since then, Belair has attempted but failed to regain the title. What better way to get back to the top than by facing Lynch at the same event she beat Banks for the title at?

The story is right there for WWE. Will they pull the trigger?
If you want to go outside the box, Bliss is a solid choice. However, Belair has all the momentum to win the match and secure her chance at redemption.
