Ronda Rousey Marks WWE Contract Signing By Putting Triple H Through A Table

Ronda Rousey Marks WWE Contract Signing By Putting Triple H Through A Table

She means business!

'Rowdy' Ronda Rousey signed her WWE contract at last night's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view last night and she made a huge statement.

With UFC stars Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez ringside in Las Vegas, the former women's bantamweight put pen to paper on a deal with the Raw brand but obviously contract signings are never plain-sailing. Shit was always going to go down, and it did.

While Triple H and Stephanie McMahon spoke glowingly of Rousey and what she has accomplished; expressing how desperate they were to sign her, General Manager Kurt Angle, also in the ring, made Ronda aware that the two were merely looking to exact revenge for what happened three years ago at Wrestlemania 31, when she took out 'The Authority' alongside The Rock.

WATCH: Our interview with the one and only Ric Flair is must-see:

The revelations from Angle continued, the Olympic Gold medalist saying Triple H and Stephanie had called a "bitch and a "has-been" behind her back.

And when the 31-year old let out a death stare, it became evident that she was done talking. Triple H went to give Rousey a hug to defuse a situation but she suplexed him through the table in shocking fashion.

Check it out around 55 seconds in:


An incensed Stephanie then hit Rousey with a wicked slap across the face but before the Olympic Bronze medalist could respond, McMahon had scurried.

This little tidbit from ESPN reporter Ramona Shelburne emphasis just how brutal that slap was:

Rousey then finished the segment by signing on the dotted line and dropping the contract on top of the 14-time world champion.

With it now confirmed that Rousey will be in action at Wrestlemania 34, the Mercedes-Benz looks set to play host to a star-studded mixed tag match featuring the first ever female to hold a UFC title, and a partner, against the McMahons.

According to Justin Barrasso from Sports Illustrated, The Rock, WWE's ideal partner for Ronda, is unlikely to be able to compete because of filming commitments and the fact he cannot partake in activities with a high risk of injury.

WWE's next best pick is Kurt Angle, who was back in a WWE ring in November for the first time in 11 years when he replaced Roman Reigns to team with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in the TLC main event match with The Miz and The Bar.
