Lacey Evans To Challenge Raw Women's Champion Asuka At WWE Elimination Chamber
The second match is set for the PPV
The card for WWE Elimination Chamber is quickly taking shape, as Lacey Evans vs. Asuka for the Raw Women's title has been added to the pay-per-view on February 21.
The match was made on Monday's edition of Raw, after Evans defeated Charlotte Flair in a match by disqualification.
That match came about after Ric Flair vowed to train Evans to be just as good as his daughter. It was implied that Ric's motivation to work with Evans may have been Charlotte telling him to "go home" some time ago. Per the angle, Ric says his relationship with Evans is "professional".
The match was made following a confrontation between Charlotte, her father, and Evans. It ended via DQ, when Flair wouldn't stop beating Evans in the corner, before striking the referee. It was then announced that Evans would face Asuka at the Chamber.
The updated card for WWE Elimination Chamber, taking place Sunday night, February 21 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, FL, is as follows:
* WWE World/Elimination Chamber: Drew McIntyre (c) vs. AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton vs. The Miz vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Sheamus
* Raw Women's: Asuka (c) vs. Lacey Evans
