Elimination Chamber 2022: WWE adds stipulation to Ronda Rousey’s match

Bengaluru, Feb. 19: As per WWE’s confirmation, Ronda Rousey will have one hand tied behind her back in the women’s division tag team match announced for WWE Elimination Chamber Specials.

A contract signing for Ronda Rousey and Naomi vs. Sonya Deville and SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair tag team matchup went down during the Elimination Chamber go-home edition of SmackDown on FOX.

It was Deville who brought up Rousey’s interview following last week’s Smackdown where she claimed to beat Deville with one hand tied behind her back.

Being a WWE Official herself, Deville approached WWE higher-ups with the stipulation which was approved. It was then confirmed that Rousey will indeed have one hand tied behind her back at Elimination Chamber.

The Baddest Woman on the Planet also didn’t oppose the stipulation as she plans on proving her claim, true. Deville was judo-thrown by Rousey, two weeks ago to get hurt in a kayfabe way and it seems like she will still have her arm wrapped through a sling during the upcoming tag team match at Elimination Chamber.

Speaking of the event, Dave Meltzer noted on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that a lot of “twists and turns” will be waiting for us. He didn’t exactly reveal what those surprises would be and how those could affect things in WWE storyline.

But with Wrestlemania 38 right around the corner, WWE is likely to leave no stones unturned to make the most impact around the event. At this point, Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns for the Universal Title is set for the Biggest Event of the Year.

In an update, Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso noted that Lesnar is expected to leave the Saudi Arabia show with the WWE Title. Hence, Lesnar vs. Reigns will be a Title vs. Title matchup at 'Mania.
