#1 Bizarre stipulation to be added to tag team match at WWE Elimination Chamber

The latest reports suggest that the upcoming tag team match at Elimination Chamber featuring Ronda Rousey will see a bizarre stipulation being added to the bout. Rousey is set to team up with Naomi to take on SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair and Sonya Deville at the upcoming premium live event.

As per the latest update on PWInsider, The Baddest Woman on the Planet might have to compete in the match with one hand tied behind her back. The report claims the following about the stipulation being added to her match at Elimination Chamber:

"Ronda Rousey will wrestle with one arm behind her back at the WWE Elimination Chamber this Saturday 2/19, PWInsider.com has confirmed. Rousey and Naomi will be wrestling Charlotte Flair and Sonya Deville at the event in Saudi Arabia. The stipulation will be revealed as part of this Friday's Smackdown episode, which was taped last week in New Orleans. Friday's Smackdown episode will feature an in-ring contract signing between the two teams."

Royal Rumble 2022 winner Ronda Rousey picked Charlotte Flair as her WrestleMania opponent. She intends to dethrone the women's champion of the blue brand.

On the other hand, Naomi has been involved in a long-term feud with Sonya Deville on SmackDown. Thus, the upcoming tag team match is expected to mark the end of one big rivalry and the beginning of another.
