• Interesting Stipulation Added To Ronda Rousey’s Elimination Chamber Match
In the opening segment of tonight’s SmackDown, the contract signing for the Elimination Chamber 2022 Tag Team match took place – SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair & Sonya Deville vs. Ronda Rousey & Naomi.
Sonya Deville noted that Ronda Rousey once said Rousey can beat her with one arm tied behind her back, so she put that in the stipulation of this match.
Ronda agreed to the stipulation and then Naomi kicked Deville in the head and they threw the table at them to end the segment.
