The Baddest Woman on the Planet – Ronda Rousey is an MMA legend and her accomplishments are mind-boggling, to say the least. However, in this article, we will look at what the 35-year-old has accomplished during her time in WWE.
Ronda Rousey made her first WWE appearance at the 2014 SummerSlam but not as a competitor. During a backstage interview, she was asked if she would ever cross over to pro wrestling. Rousey replied, “You never know.”
At WrestleMania 31, she had a memorable appearance as she was seated ringside until The Rock asked her to come up to the ring so that they could confront Stephanie McMahon and Triple H. This happened after The Rock was slapped by Stephanie. Rousey tossed Triple H out of the ring with ease and then she stopped McMahon from slapping her and teased an armbar before throwing her outside the ring. The Rock and Rousey celebrated together inside the ring to end the segment.
Rousey shocked the WWE Universe when she made her way to the ring right after Asuka had won the 2018 Women’s Royal Rumble match. Rousey pointed towards the WrestleMania sign. ESPN immediately made the big revelation that Rousey had signed a full-time contract with WWE.
