Ronda Rousey tastes victory at WWE Elimination Chamber despite having one hand TIED behind her back
RONDA ROUSEY tasted victory at WWE Elimination Chamber despite having one hand TIED behind her back.
The star made a stunning return to WWE last month by winning the Royal Rumble.
The UFC legend, 34, eliminated Charlotte Flair to book her ticket to the main event of WrestleMania.
That was almost three years after she last competed in the ring.
Now she was in tag-team action as WWE hit Saudi Arabia for it's latest pay-per-view extravaganza.
Rousey was teaming up with Naomi to take on Smackdown champion Charlotte Flair and Sonya Deville.
However, she said in the build-up that she could beat Deville with one hand tied behind her back - which was soon added to the rules of the match.
Undeterred, Rousey started the match but after a while Charlotte, who will defend her title against the MMA star at WrestleMania, took advantage of her handicap.

The title holder and Deville continued to punish the ex-Octagon star as they launched a relentless assault on her free arm.
She eventually made the tag to Naomi but soon found herself back in the ring and despite her disadvantage, she managed to lock in an armbar with just one hand on Deville and forced her to tap.
Rousey made headlines around the world when she swapped the octagon for the squared-circle back in January 2018.
She last appeared in the historic main event of WrestleMania 35 against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair in 2019, a match that she was pinned by ‘The Man’ for the belt.
‘Rowdy’ then said she was taking time away from wrestling to start a family with her husband Travis Browne.
The former UFC champion gave birth to a baby girl in September.
