• Major Update On Ronda Rousey’s WWE Return & Brand Status
According to the Wrestling Observer, former RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey is highly expected to return to WWE programming at tonight’s Royal Rumble 2022 premiere live event.
She will plant seeds for her WrestleMania 38 program tonight.
Her new contract is for 1 year and she’ll be a member of the SmackDown roster, although she will work a few RAW shows too, possibly including this Monday’s show.
Here’s what The Observer reported:
“There’s two schools of thought. There’s a school of thought that you appease your hardcore fans, and that would be Bianca Belair or Sasha Banks (winning the Women’s Royal Rumble). Or, you go with the one that’s gonna get you the most headlines, and that’s obviously Ronda. And I think that’s probably the one they’ll go with.
Unless Ronda’s there to do an angle at the end and not be in the match and you save your match for later, she shouldn’t be in the match and not win, I don’t think.
She’s back. She’s going to be back as a regular on SmackDown, but she’ll probably do some shows on RAW. I think she’s going to be on RAW Monday.”
Rousey was last seen on WWE programming at WrestleMania 35 on April 7, 2019, where she was pinned in the main event by Becky Lynch in a Triple Threat Match.
She went on a hiatus after that to start a family. She gave birth to her daughter in September 2021.
Ronda made her official WWE debut 4 years ago at Royal Rumble 2018.
