Ronda Rousey was not seen on WWE television since WrestleMania 35 back in 2019, where she dropped the RAW Women’s Title to Becky Lynch in a triple threat match which also had Charlotte Flair in the mix. Ronda Rousey also showed her backside in a photo with Becky Lynch previously as well.
Since then fans simply did not know whether the Rowdy One would ever return to WWE as they had lost all hope. However, their hope bore fruit in the end.
Rousey, who made her shocking and surprise return to the WWE at the 2022 WWE Royal Rumble premium live event earned herself a shot at a WWE Women’s Championship match against the champion of her choosing at WWE WrestleMania 38. WWE WrestleMania 38 will be held this year at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas from April 2-3.
The former RAW Women’s Champion ended up choosing Charlotte Flair as her opponent. Ronda Rousey is also going to appear in quite a few WWE live events going forward, all before WrestleMania 38 in April. Dave Meltzer spoke on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, where he revealed how Vince McMahon helped Ronda Rousey improve her ability to cut a promo and not be affected by what fans think of her.
Vince is, ”You’re great but you need to smile more.” And she’s just like, ”But look what these fans did to me, they treated me like crap. And Vince goes, ”They’ve forgiven you,” which is not exactly what happened. He then goes, ”It’s about then, not you.” For Ronda, a lightbulb went on and it’s like, ”Oh yeah it is about them and not me.”
