A new moment of achievement appears to be on the horizon. The Elimination Chamber is set to take place on 24th February at the Optus Stadium. It will be held at 9 PM AEDT/5 AM ET. Seems like The Eradicator and Nia Jax already have forged history for breaking a milestone in the Elimination Chamber. In a recent Twitter post by Wrestle Ops it was captioned, “Rhea Ripley v Nia Jax at #WWEChamber this Saturday is set to mark the first Women’s match to MAIN EVENT a main-roster WWE PPV since Sasha Banks v Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 37.” Ripley and Jax are headlining the Elimination Chamber event even before WrestleMania takes place.

This is a significant moment for the Women’s division. As no women’s match has made it to the main event of a main-roster WWE PLE since WrestleMania 37. Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair made history as the first African-American women to headline The Show of Shows at WrestleMania 37 Night One. Belair executed the Kiss of Death on Banks, securing her first world title victory
