CHARLOTTE FLAIR PICS TIFFANY STRATTON FOR WRESTLEMANIA- Charlotte Flair has picked Tiffany Stratton and her WWE Women's title for WrestleMania, with the match becoming the second one official on the card. Stratton was involved in a title defense last night against Nia Jax and won via disqualification when Candice LeRae interfered. After a brawl which also involved Trish Stratus, Stratton was left lying in the middle of the ring and that's when Flair entered. She got a chair and sat next to Stratton who was still recovering, telling her to wake up because it's still "Tiffy time." Flair then got serious and said, "The Queen chooses you. I'll see you at WrestleMania," before slamming the microphone. The 14-time women's champion also visited Raw and NXT before making up her mind and picking Stratton for her WrestleMania match. You can see the segment at . TRISH STRATUS TO TEAM WITH TIFFANY STRATTON AT ELIMINATION CHAMVER- Trish Stratus will be stepping back in the ring at the Elimination Chamber in her hometown of Toronto next month. Stratus was ringside at Smackdown last night and was involved in an angle after Nia Jax and Candice LeRae continued their attack on WWE Women's champion Tiffany Stratton. Stratus, celebrating her 25th year in the business, made the save for Stratton but the heels quickly overpowered the WWE Hall of Famer, leaving her and Stratton out. In a backstage segment a few minutes later, Tiffany and Trish agreed to team up to take on Nia Jax and Candice LaRae in a tag match at the Elimination Chamber which will take place from the Rogers Centre, the stadium formerly known as the SkyDome. PRIEST AND NAOMI QUALIFY FOR ELIMINATION CHAMBER- Two more WWE Superstars qualified for the Elimination Chamber last night on Smackdown, leaving just one more place in each match. Naomi was first with her win over United States Women's champion Chelsea Green, pinning her clean after a split-legged moonsault. Bianca Belair, who is also in the match, celebrated with her tag team partner following the match. Liv Morgan, Alexa Bliss, and Bayley are also part of the match. Later in the evening, Damian Priest defeated Jacob Fatu and Braun Strowman in a triple threat match to book his place in the match. The match had interference from Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Cody Rhodes, with the Bloodline members not on the same wavelength for the night, allowing Priest to finish off Strowman with his South of Heaven chokeslam finisher. Priest now joins John Cena, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, and Logan Paul in the match. The last qualifying matches will come on Raw with Seth Rollins vs Finn Balor and Roxanne Perez vs Raquel Rodriguez. LAYLA COMMENTS ON MICHELLE MCCOOL JOINING THE HALL OF FAME- Former co-Divas champion Layla El reacted to the news that Michelle McCool will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2025 with a message on social media. The now 47-year-old said that no one is more deserving of this recognition and accomplishment than her former bestie. "I’m truly so happy for you, Chelle! Everyone, please show your love to Michelle — she’s incredible and so dear to me," she wrote. The British star teamed up with Michelle McCool in 2009 to form LayCool and together won the WWE Women's and Divas titles.
