Video: Watch ex-UFC star Ronda Rousey slam her way through WWE contract signing

It’s safe to say any time Ronda Rousey signed fight contracts in the UFC, it didn’t come with this level of theatrics.

The former bantamweight champion, who arguably was the biggest game-changer in women’s MMA history, is starting the next phase of her career as a professional wrestler in the WWE. Sunday night, the “Rowdy” one made an appearance at the WWE’s “Elimination Chamber” pay-per-view to sign her deal.

Naturally, things took a crazy turn. When Rousey (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) walked out – using the same “Bad Reputation” entrance music by Joan Jett that she used in the UFC – she went into the ring with COO Triple H and his wife, Commissioner Stephanie McMahon, as well as General Manager Kurt Angle.

Triple H let everyone know there was nothing special about Rousey’s deal, but that she would indeed be fighting at the upcoming WrestleMania 34, which takes place April 8 in New Orleans. But when Angle reminded everyone about what happened at WrestleMania 31 between Rousey with The Rock on her side, and Triple H and McMahon, things went sideways. It’s the WWE, so of course they did.

Ultimately, after the situation was egged on by Angle, Rousey slammed Triple H to the ground. Then she had to get slapped by McMahon, who bailed out before she got the same treatment her husband did. Eventually, Rousey signed her contract, dropped it on Triple H, grabbed a handful of popcorn shrimp and blew outta there.

Look, we know, we know … this is MMAjunkie, not WWEjunkie. And we know some of you hate that any reference to Rousey and the WWE appears on this site, like, ever. But she was one of the biggest starts in MMA history, like it or not, and now she’s doing this. It’s still fresh enough that we’re gonna talk about it. So suck it up and deal with it.
