Before going to WrestleMania 38, Ronda and Charlotte faced each other in a tag team match at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event. In this bout, ‘Rowdy’ had to fight with one hand tied behind.
On the following SmackDown, the team of Charlotte and Sonya tried to injure Ronda’s right knee, which has been operated on seven times in her entire career. Ronda responded later on Instagram:

“When you’ve hurt every part of your body you learn how to function without them. I won that #eliminationchamber match one handed because I’ve already had to fight through dislocated shoulders and collar bones before.”

“Last night @charlottewwe and @sonyadevillewwe came for my right knee, joke’s on you b**ches cause I’ve had seven surgeries on that knee, no acl or cartilage left, and have created an entire fighting style around not using it. No matter how you hurt or restrain me, I’ll find a way to beat you because I’m still the #BestOnMyWorstDay”
Rousey countered the sneak attack and thwarted Deville and Flair, who took this rivalry to a personal level. This will not be good news for Charlotte Flair, who knows that she will have her work cut out in Texas.
