Ronda Rousey given "fair" stipulation to her tag team match at WWE Elimination Chamber
WWE Superstar and MMA legend Ronda Rousey has been handed a "fair" stipulation from WWE management for her tag team match this Saturday at Elimination Chamber.
At the premium live event, Rousey will team up with Naomi to take on Sonya Deville and her WrestleMania opponent, SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair.
Deville seemed to abuse her position as a WWE official to add a stipulation to the match that would give her and Charlotte a distinct advantage. This added further fuel to the fire this past Friday night on SmackDown. While Deville called it a "fair" deal, being the heel that she is, one cannot rule out the possibility that she was being sarcastic.
Some may argue that Rousey being restricted to the use of one arm makes the tag team contest fair; Deville's arm has been in a sling since Rousey attacked her a few weeks ago. With this stipulation, both women are set to compete with one arm compromised on Saturday.
However, due to the back-handed tactics that Deville and Charlotte are known for using, the evil duo may have more tricks up their sleeves for their match at Elimination Chamber.
Sonya Deville and Ronda Rousey have a heated history
Though the rivalry between Rousey and Deville has only been featured on WWE in recent weeks, the two women have previously crossed paths on social media.
In 2019, Deville commented on Rousey's knockout losses during her MMA career. The former UFC Bantamweight Champion took offense to Deville and stated that the WWE star barely had an MMA career.
In response to The Baddest Woman on the Planet, Deville tweeted about "salty" nature of Rowdy.
With such exchanges having already taken place between the two superstars, their confrontations on SmackDown in recent weeks have certainly carried even more weight.
Ronda Rousey's actions on SmackDown have led to the tag team contest that will take place this Saturday at Elimination Chamber. At the premium live event, she'll hope to gain more momentum heading into her title bout at WrestleMania 38.
