Aside from the titular Chamber matches themselves, the biggest selling point heading into Elimination Chamber was an in-ring appearance by new signee Ronda Rousey. The 'Rowdy' one has been touted as a major boost to the women's revolution by WWE, and rightfully so.

Even still, there were worries that other women on the roster would be forgotten upon Ronda's arrival. That doesn't seem to be the case; Rousey, to WWE's credit, will take baby steps towards the female titles and work a mixed tag at WrestleMania 34 instead.
