Becky Lynch and Bayley will finally clash inn a Steel Cage Match.
The two stars have been feuding for months, dating back to the debut of Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai & IYO SKY) at SummerSlam 2022. Lynch missed some time with a separated shoulder, but she reigited the rivalry by joining Bianca Belair's team and beating Damage CTRL at WWE Survivor Series. Tensions have continued to rise ever since, and the former champions were set to collide in a Steel Cage Match on WWE Raw XXX. However, Damage CTRL attacked Lynch before the bout, and the match did not take place as scheduled.
On the January 30 episode of WWE Raw, Lynch confronted Bayley, who took some heated shots at "The Man." Bayley claimed that Lynch's husband, Seth Rollins, only married her because he knocked her up. Lynch had enough, so she threw down the gauntlet for a Steel Cage Matchon the February 6 episode of WWE Raw, as she noted that it will take place in Orlando, where their feud truly began in NXT. Bayley initially turned her down, but she changed her mind when Lynch was about to attack Kai with a chair.
Elsewhere on the show, Carmella will return to the ring and face Piper Niven, Candice LeRae, and Michin in a four-way Elimination Chamber qualifying match. The winner will advance to the Elimination Chamber match for a Raw Women's Title shot at WWE Elimination Chamber.
Likewise, the qualifying matches for the United States Championship Elimination Chamber Match will continue. Elias will face Montez Ford, and Angelo Dawkins will take on Damian Priest. Johnny Gargano, Seth Rollins, and Bronson Reed qualified for the match on the January 30 episode of WWE Raw. Austin Theory, the defending champion, automatically has a spot in the match.
