UFC Fighters and other personnel attended WWE’s Elimination Chamber Pay-Per-View in disguise.
Tonight, WWE held their annual Elimination Chamber PPV at the T-Mobile Arena in the Las Vegas Valley, in Paradise, Nevada. A Seven-Man Elimination Chamber Match, won later by Roman Reigns, headlined the event. Former UFC Fighter Ronda Rousey officially signed her contract with WWE’s Monday Night RAW brand & got involved in an altercation with Triple H & Stephanie McMahon, that ended with Rousey putting The King of Kings through a wooden table. Also, the WWE held their first-ever Women’s Elimination Chamber Match, which was won by Alexa Bliss.

On RAW Talk, the post-Elimination Chamber Talk Show, Stephanie McMahon revealed that Rousey will be at RAW tomorrow and that necessary action will be taken against her for assaulting Triple H.
While it’s still speculation, it seems that Rousey may end up facing Stephanie McMahon at WrestleMania. But, it’s not clear if it will be a Singles Match or a Mixed Tag Team Match. If it turns out to be a Mixed Tag Team Match then either RAW General Manager Kurt Angle or WWE Alum The Rock will team-up with her to take on the team of Stephanie McMahon & Triple H.
