Women’s Championship
Reigning champion Asuka will be up against the formidable duo of Lacey Evans and Ric Flair at the Elimination Chamber 2021. The duo have already bested Charlotte Flair, but with Asuka not having any history with Ric like Charlotte, she might be better placed to defend her title.

match during this week’s SmackDown episode and thus it was decided to hold a
No. 1 Contenders Match instead.
Now Reigns will
face the winner of the SmackDown Elimination Chamber match between Kevin Owens,
Daniel Bryan, King Corbin, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn and Cesaro on the same night.
WWE United States Championship Match
