Although this means that SmackDown Superstars Becky Lynch, Carmella, Eva Marie, Maryse, Mickie James, Naomi, Natalya and Nikki Bella are all eligible to participate, it is a bit unclear who will actually partake in this multi-women Women’s Title match.
As of now, Naomi is still out on injury, Eva Marie has yet to make her television return, Nikki Bella and Maryse are expected to be in mixed-tag team action at WrestleMania thus leaving Becky Lynch, Carmella, Mickie James and Natalya as contenders to Alexa’s championship.
