Ronda Rousey comments on teaming with Naomi at WWE Elimination Chamber
Former RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey has opened up about teaming with Naomi at WWE Elimination Chamber, stating that it was an honor to perform at the event.
The Baddest Woman on the Planet joined forces with Naomi to take on Sonya Deville and Charlotte Flair in a tag team match. Rousey had to compete with one arm tied behind her back as per the stipulation. Despite the odds, she and her partner emerged victorious.
Rousey took to Instagram to share several photos from the match and included a caption praising Naomi for having her back. She also commented on wrestling in her judo uniform for the first time in WWE.
"Trinity Fatu really stole the show tonight, and I got the best seat in the house to watch her work - thank you for having my back out there," wrote Rousey. "Gotta admit it felt good putting my old @mizunousa competition judo gi back on - and I totally felt like @realroyce striking in a gi. Thank you for having us Jeddah, it was an honor to perform for you all."
