She made her debut at the end of the 2018 Royal Rumble and went on to win the WWE Raw Women’s Championship, which she held for half a year.

According to Fightful Select, WWE is pushing for Ronda Rousey to make her return during this Royal Rumble event and could also end up winning the event. 

Another report from Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio said that Rousey will be back as a full-time WWE Superstar on Friday Night SmackDown.

“She’s back. She’s going to be back as a regular on SmackDown. But she’ll probably do some Raw shows. I think she will be on Raw on Monday. That’s kind of what has been hinted at to me.
