It didn’t take long for Ronda Rousey to get physical.
Making her second on-screen appearance for the WWE since joining the company this year — following her show-closing debut at the Royal Rumble in January — Rousey was advertised for a “contract signing” segment at the professional wrestling promotion’s Elimination Chamber show in Las Vegas on Sunday.
The segment featured WWE executives Triple H and Stephanie McMahon welcoming the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion to the WWE Universe with a contract for her to perform on Monday Night RAW and to have a match at WrestleMania 34 on April 8. On-screen authority figure Kurt Angle was also involved, and his character played a role in the signing breaking down into violence.
After Triple H and McMahon showered Rousey with praise, she prepared to sign on the dotted line, but paused when Angle accidentally revealed that this was all a plan for Triple H and McMahon to get Rousey under control after she embarrassed them at WrestleMania 31 three years ago.

Rousey would go on to sign the contract, indicating her plans to make further appearances on WWE television and compete at WrestleMania.
