Ronda Rousey Continues To Dominate WWE

For many years, Ronda Rousey dominated the world of WWE. What started as a career as an Olympic judo athlete and even saw her win a bronze medal at the 2008 games quickly evolved into the star turning her hand to other sports. From judo, it was on to time as a Mixed Martial Artist for Ronda.

Although she eventually fell in love with being a part of WWE, she confused many by being notably missing from the sport in 2019 after famously losing her final match. Now, many fans have fallen back in love with the star as Ronda Rousey continues to dominate WWE.

Walking away from WWE was a huge move for Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey was once the one to watch in WWE as she dominated fights and showed off her former fighting skills in a brand new way. However, she left the sport in 2019 and had been working on other projects. Some claimed it was because she lost her final match, while Ronda stated it was because she wanted to start a family with her husband. For years, Ronda was a Mixed Martial Artist, which gave her a great advantage when wrestling with everyone in the ring. Although she has expressed no interest in returning to MMA, it looks as though wrestling might have been calling her name once more.

It didn’t come as much of a surprise to many that Ronda Rousey also fought in the UFC. She had all the skills and was a talent that many wanted to work with throughout the peak of her career. Sadly, it wasn’t to last, as Ronda officially retired from the sport around the same time and hasn’t returned. Have things changed once again? Ronda has since welcomed her first daughter with Travis Browne - a daughter named La’Akea Makalapuaokalanipo Browne - and it appears that being out of the ring has left her missing the adrenaline that thrill that comes with every fight.

Starting a family can be enough to see many people change their entire lives. While some suddenly feel they’ve lost the fearlessness they had before becoming a parent, others are more determined than ever to set an example for their children. It appears as though Ronda Rousey is one of the latter, as the wrestler confirmed she was returning to the ring in January 2022. The wrestler was long a fan favorite thanks to her impressive moves and attitude in the ring. Ronda took to social media to tell the world she knew she wanted to be a part of the Royal Rumble 2022 as soon as she “calculated my due date.” Although Ronda knew the “goal seemed crazier than ever before,” she told her fans she “missed” being in WWE so much and wanted to give her daughter “the same example” she had from her mom.

Although it was teased that Ronda Rousey would return to WWE, no one really knew she was going to make her appearance at the Royal Rumble in 2022. According to the wrestler, she assumed the fans wouldn’t be happy to have her back. However, she confessed to the Wives of Wrestling podcast that she was pleasantly surprised by the positive reaction she received from fans. The best bit? Ronda still maintains a title that’s seen her win 30 out of 31 of her matches, only losing once to Becky Lynch back in 2019. Even though it seemed Ronda would lose her first fight in the ring, given that she had one hand tied behind her back, the wrestler defied all odds and walked away with the title, proving she is a real threat not to be messed with.

Ronda Rousey continues to dominate WWE, even after three years away from the sport. After all, it takes a special kind of wrestler to win the match when they can only use one arm. If there is one thing many of us have learned about Ronda, it’s that nothing can stand in her way once she has her eyes set on the prize.
