As seen at Sunday’s WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on the WWE Network, former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey made an appearance by signing her WWE contract in the ring with Kurt Angle, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H. It ended with Rousey putting Triple H through a table and McMahon slapping Rousey. This led to McMahon getting out of the ring and Rousey signed the contract.
The following is a recap of our coverage of the segment:

McMahon welcomed her to the WWE and gave Ronda the chance to talk. Ronda said that this moment makes speechless as the fans chant her name. She started to tear up and said that she wouldn’t be here without her hero, Roddy Piper. She said that he is an inspiration to her and her career. She said that she wants to earn the respect of the fans. Triple H noted that she didn’t want anything special put in the contract. There are no perks, private jets.
