Natalya is going to WWE Elimination Chamber.
The February 3 episode of WWE SmackDown featured a qualifying bout for the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match, where the winner will face RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 39. Natalya, Zelina Vega, Shotzi, and Shayna Baszler faced off in the high-stakes bout. Liv Morgan, Nikki Cross, Raquel Rodriguez were automatically given spots in the Elimination Chamber match because they were the last few competitors in the Women’s Royal Rumble, aside from the eventual winner, Rhea Ripley.
The four-way match on Friday marked Natalya’s first time competing on SmackDown in three months, as she had been sidelined with a broken nose since November until she returned at WWE Royal Rumble. Baszler was trying to capture a spot in the Elimination Chamber, where she had a dominant showing in 2020. Despite her best efforts, and strong showings from Vega and Shotzi, Natalya emerged victorious.
