The crowd was so hot so everyone came off like massive stars and everyone got their chance to shine and have moments so they came out looking good. It was essentially the complete opposite of the 2020 women’s chamber when everyone except Shayna looked like crap and the crowd was completely silent for the whole thing. I think it was wise to have this be a Raw match because their women’s division is a lot stronger than Smackdown’s.
With her showing in this match and in that gauntlet last week it feels like Rhea has suddenly got that wave of momentum like Rollins got after that gauntlet a few years ago when he eliminated Reigns and Cena, lasted almost an hour and fell at the last hurdle then built on it over the next year until winning the Rumble and world title at Wrestlemania. I’m not sure Rhea will take that long though. I can see her being champion before the end of the year.
My heart was in my mouth a little at the end because while Bianca winning was obviously the correct call this is the company that had The Fiend lose to Goldberg on one of these shows almost 2 years to the day ago so them throwing away 9 months of build and Bianca’s payoff in favor of random Alexa/Becky couldn’t be completely ruled out. Although I’m down for a big push for babyface Alexa post-Wrestlemania. No matter what shitty booking she gets she’s always super over and does everything she can to make it work. She pulled off some good stuff in that match considering she hasn’t wrestled in 5-6 months.

The 6 ladies in this match were so fresh and more entertaining than the dominance of the 4HW and Ronda.
Send them all off to the other brand to be the women's divison.
Keep Charlotte, Becky, Ronda, Sasha and Bayley all on one show, probably SD.

It was a fun and briskly paced Chamber match with multiple women coming off as big stars. Definitely a mission accomplished, and a good way of showing the depth of the Raw women's division. I'd also argue Rhea's momentum started at the Rumble, where she had a memorable showing including eliminating the tag champs simultaneously, that moment with Ivory, as well as actually facing Ronda competitively (she was the one who drove Ronda into the post, which was the biggest bump Ronda took all match) and the gauntlet built on that.

Also, BODYSUITS for the win.
They all stood out SO MUCH because they had distinct looks from each other. Who cares about how much skin they show. Give me these looks, especially Doudrop all day long.

Which in turn was aided by them all having individual and distinctive characters. The SD division has of course had some contingencies over the last few months like Toni abruptly quitting the company as well as Sasha's injuries, but it's quite striking how different the two divisions feel at the moment. |

Honestly, I thought both Chambers were two of the worst.
These matches without violence are just lame.
I guess I'm one of those fans who think "If you're not gonna have blood and make it look like you went through absolute hell, don't bother doing the match in the first place"
It's why I hate Hell in a Cell matches. I know they're never gonna compare to the ones in the 90s and early 00s because there is no blood and barbaric violence.
At this point I think I'd rather they just did Scramble matches or Fatal 5 Ways.

Alexa's so underrated in the ring as a face.

Alexa's so underrated in the ring as a face. Lol 100! I said in the thread, I forget she doesn’t actually suck in her long layoffs because of the amount of hate she always gets. 😂 |

We need more Catwoman Rhea. |

They couldn't have them in their regular ring gear, because it's too sexualized, so they have them wearing skintight leather suits. Yeah, can't see how that makes them sexier, and no way in hell is Rhea rocking the shit out of her suit.
Should probably just make that her regular attire, the top at the least. She's lost so many battles against her current top, that this would guarantee Rhea matches wouldn't have a black screen.

Carmella sure loved Rhea’s outfit.
Speaking of, HOPEFULLY the last month or so means that they have big plans for Rhea moving forward.

It was an all around success I’d say. Well wrestled, inevitable but correct winner, the crowd was hot for everyone…good stuff! Also, BODYSUITS for the win. They all stood out SO MUCH because they had distinct looks from each other. Who cares about how much skin they show. Give me these looks, especially Doudrop all day long. I thought last time with the Sasha/Bianca/Becky match they were going to really show out outfit wise, but they still went for the disappointing T-shirt/bodysuit combo. Most of the women this time had unique and styled outfits which was really cool to see, Liv especially. |

I loved Rhea's outfit. Sonya's was also cool as far as non Chamber match partcipants go.

Props to Rhea for going to a place where she can't show any skin, and still wearing something straight out of my wardrobe of one of THOSE club nights.
Also Liv's Britney cosplay was a creative way to get around it.

The exchanges between Liv and Alexa were the highlight of this match, book 'em in singles program already!  |
