Coming off her victory in the 2024 Women's Royal Rumble match, Bayley was tasked with choosing her opponent for WrestleMania 40. While initially eyeing WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley, Bayley ultimately decided to challenge her now former ally, WWE Women's Champion IYO SKY.

With Bayley vs. IYO SKY locked in, WWE announced that the WrestleMania challenger for the WWE Women's World Championship will determined inside the Elimination Chamber later this month. So far, one woman has qualified for this grueling match stipulation.

On Monday's WWE RAW, Becky Lynch and Shayna Baszler competed in the first qualifying matchup, making a callback to their WrestleMania 36 clash over the RAW Women's Championship. Despite a valiant effort, Baszler's fate would repeat itself, as Lynch defeated her with a Manhandle Slam to claim the first spot in the Women's Elimination Chamber match.

Next week, Liv Morgan and Zoey Stark will battle to secure the second slot. Ahead of their qualifier, Morgan delivered a backstage promo, highlighting her six-month absence from WWE programming due to injury. Now that she is cleared to compete again, Morgan is not only eager to challenge Ripley for the WWE Women's World Championship, but also to enact some revenge on her for taking her out of action last July.

Before she can get to WrestleMania, Rhea Ripley has one obstacle in front of her -- a title defense at Elimination Chamber.

During tonight's episode, WWE RAW General Manager Adam Pearce informed Ripley that she will put the WWE Women's World Championship on the line against Nia Jax at the upcoming premium live event. This title match was made after Jax recently unleashed a pair of attacks on Ripley.

Should Ripley retain her championship there, she will then move on to face the winner of the Women's Elimination Chamber in a title match at WrestleMania 40.

The 2024 Elimination Chamber PLE will emanate from the Optus Stadium in Perth Australia, airing live on February 24.
