For the first time ever, there will be a women’s division Chamber match that will decide the fate of the Raw Women’s Championship held by Alexa Bliss.

From the men’s division, Kurt Angle made a huge announcement, last week to make a first-ever seven-man Elimination Chamber match. Over the years, this match featured only six superstars. This year, one additional superstar beiing added means that there might be some changes in the cage structure.

The rules of a gauntlet match says that two superstars start the match. They are chosen on a random basis. Once a superstar gets pinfall or submission victory, the third superstar enters to take the winner of the previous contest. This continues until the winner of the last match is decided.

It has to be noted that the first two superstars to enter the mix get the least advantage while the last one has the most, of course. The rules are quite similar to that of the Elimination Chamber match and hence the fans will get a sneak preview of what to expect next Sunday. It is going to be a chaotic affair in the main event of WWE Raw when it comes live at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.
