Later on SmackDown, the match was made official between McIntyre and Madcap Moss. ## WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 is scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 19, 2022, at the Jeddah Super Dome in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Lita Reveals Her Match Against Becky Lynch At WWE Elimination Chamber Was A Last Minute Decision

Lita's match against Becky Lynch at WWE Elimination Chamber came out of nowhere. ## In an interview with Ring The Belle, Lita revealed that she was supposed to go home after her Royal Rumble match, but then she was asked to face Becky Lynch. ## "After St. Louis, I was supposed to go home. On Sunday, I drove to Cincinnati, swung by Renee [Paquette's] house and was like, 'girl, what can I wear?' Johnny Ace asked me, 'Do you want to fight Becky?' You know that I do and you know that she does. 'How about in two weeks?' 'Uhhh, no, but yes,' not only because I want to train and have a go, but seize the moment and take the opportunity when it's there. Sort it all out in the wash," Lita said. ## Lynch has referred to Lita as her hero growing up and Lita explained why this match is so important for both women. ## "This match is a true generational clashing match. We are very kindred spirits. She live like a pirate, took a meandering journey to get to her spot in WWE. We cut from the same cloth. I saw a lot of her in me as she was starting. To watch her catch fire, I was like, "Girlll,' Not only did I know that she had it, but I was like, 'let me in there," she said. ## H/T: Fightful ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

WWE Predictions: Top 5 Predictions For 02/11 WWE SmackDown

Here are the top 5 predictions for this week's Friday Night edition which is scheduled to air on February 11, 2022, live from in New Orleans, Louisiana Smoothie King Center. ## Sonya Deville Will respond to Ronda Rousey's attack ## As noted, after setting up the challenge to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania, Sonya attempted to take charge, and Ronda pushed her out of the way. When Deville made the mistake of jumping on Rousey's back while she was facing Flair, The Baddest Woman on the Planet dropped Deville hard to the canvas before locking her in the excruciating armbar and making her scream in pain as The Queen took her to leave. ## So, coming up this week, we could get to see some sort of professionalism, who knows, we might see her getting suspended for a while. ## Singles Match: Jey Uso Vs. Ivar ## As SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos prepare to battle The Viking Raiders at WWE Elimination Chamber, last week Jimmy Uso picked up a huge win when he defeated Erik with the Splash off the top rope. ## I think coming up this week, Jey Uso and Ivar could be seen head-to-head. ## Ronda Rousey To Interrupt WWE SmackDown Women's Title Match between Charlotte Flair and Naomi ## As noted, Naomi is set to challenge Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship this week. ## Naomi has battled Flair in two heated Championship Contender's Matches, with Deville’s trickery costing her any chance of winning. Tonight on SmackDown, WWE Official Sonya Deville that Naomi would get a SmackDown Women’s Title Match against Charlotte Flair this week on the blue brand! ## I would rather go with a disqualification, with Ronda Rousey attacking Charlotte Flair. ## The Hall of Famer Goldberg Set To Appear ## The Hall of Famer returned to WWE programming last week to challenge Reigns for the title. The February 4th episode of SmackDown aired from Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. ## Goldberg will also be appearing this week on SmackDown to continue his feud with Reigns en route to Elimination Chamber. ## Rematch: Big E & Kofi Kingston Vs Los Lotharios ## Last week, Officially back on SmackDown, Big E teamed with his New Day partner Kofi Kingston, and they overcame Los Lotharios when Kofi jumped off the top rope and added more power to Big E's Big Ending. ## In a WWE Digital Exclusive, Los Lotharios took the issues and said they only lost to New Day because they were distracted. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
