– WWE released a video featuring Ruby Riott cutting a promo backstage at this week’s WWE live event in Edinburg. Riott promised that the Riott Squad would all leave Elimination Chamber as champions this Sunday. You can check out that video below. Ruby Riott stated the following:

“Everyone thinks they know how this will go, everyone thinks they know what the first-ever WrestleMania headlined by women is going to be. They think it has to involve Ronda Rousey, whether it be against Charlotte Flair or Becky Lynch. It has to be headlined by Ronda Rousey because she’s carried the women’s evolution on her back, as far as she’s concerned. But I have news for ya. We’re not just involved in the women’s evolution, the Riott Squad is the women’s evolution. We are the change this division needs, so in the very building that the Riott Squad was formed, a year and some change later, we’re all gonna leave as champions and walk out those doors on the road the WrestleMania and start a riot.”

– WWE released a new WWE Now video showcasing Kofi Kingston’s impressive performance in the Gauntlet Match on Smackdown Live. You can check out that video below.
