Stephanie McMahon confirmed the news on Monday Night Raw, and also revealed that Raw women's champion Alexa Bliss will be defending her title in the Chamber match in Las Vegas on February 25.

The men's match will be for a shot at Brock Lesnar's Universal title at WrestleMania, as the Royal Rumble winner - Shinsuke Nakamura - has elected to face AJ Styles, who is the champion on SmackDown.
