The upcoming WWE bout featuring Ronda Rousey has one very special stipulation.
Follow Us
With one hand tied behind her back, Ronda Rousey will work the Elimination Chamber tag-team bout on Saturday night.
During Friday night’s broadcast of SmackDown, Sonya Deville brought up Rousey’s promo from last week’s program and revealed that she had been able to have her request approved by WWE management. So, it seems that Rousey’s “I can beat them with one hand tied behind my back” comment was interpreted to mean what she said it meant. At the very least, this gives the Chamber tag a dynamic.
There is a good chance that Deville would attempt to do the same to Rousey as she has done to Naomi for a long time now. According to Charlotte Flair’s backstory, this is a good fit for the character. Going into WWE’s Saudi supershow, the incumbent SmackDown Women’s Champion now holds the kayfabe edge.
The idea that Rousey might be pinned in the Elimination Chamber is absurd. The most probable scenario is for Naomi to assist or Naomi obtains some sort of retribution on Sonya or for Naomi herself to take the fall from Flair to defend Ronda prior to WrestleMania.
Put it this way: There’s absolutely zero chance of Rousey going to lose before she reaches Dallas in April.

On Saturday, the Elimination Chamber will visit the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia for the penultimate big event before WrestleMania 38. It’s a packed program that includes many of the greatest stars on the WWE roster as well as a couple of WWE Hall of Famers.
The card will include two Elimination Chamber bouts. Bobby Lashley will defend his WWE title against Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins, Austin Theory, Riddle, and AJ Styles on the men’s side. Earlier in the program, Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Nikki A.S.H., Doudrop, and Alexa Bliss will compete for a crack at the Raw women’s title in the Chamber.
In the event, Roman Reigns will be defending his Universal Championship against Goldberg. In the same way that Reigns will defend his championship against a Hall of Famer, Becky Lynch will defend her Raw women’s title against Lita.
