Ronda returned!
Natalya was in the ring and she talked about how she was seeing red after Shayna Baszler broke her nose, and called her a knockoff Ronda Rousey and so she took her spot in the Elimination Chamber.
Baszler came out and took offense at having her accomplishments questioned, and how she was competing before Ronda.

That was Ronda’s cue to come out. Baszler held her back, then nailed Natalya with a cheap shot and they beat her down before Shotzi came out and was quickly overwhelmed.
Ronda held Natalya for Baszler to his another running knee to clear the ring.
