Ronda Rousey contract signing set for WWE Elimination Chamber
When Ronda Rousey appeared at the end of the Royal Rumble, it inevitably raised a few questions about what’s next for her in WWE.
It took a couple of weeks to get some of those answers, but we now know when her next appearance will be and which brand she’ll be joining. Kurt Angle revealed on Raw tonight that Rousey would be “signing her Monday Night Raw contract” at the brand’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view on February 25th in Las Vegas.
The next step will be WWE confirming Rousey’s plans for WrestleMania. Dave Meltzer reported last month that Rousey teaming with a partner against Stephanie McMahon & Triple H was the plan at that time, with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson being the first choice to partner with Rousey if it’s possible for him to do the match.
Triple H noted on a call with WWE investors last week that the company was in the process of finalizing Rousey’s actual contract. Triple H said it would be a multi-year deal and pro wrestling would be her first priority.
After showing up at the Royal Rumble, Rousey returned to Colombia to finish filming the movie “Mile 22.”
