Ronda Rousey Wins The Royal Rumble – In one of the worst-kept secrets in wrestling, Ronda Rousey has made her return to WWE and boy were the fans happy to see her. Ronda entered at number 28 in the Rumble.
Ronda Rousey came in and immediately got involved with the Bellas. She threw her patented fists and suplexes.
She looked terrific, but she debuted a bit of a new look. Instead of returning wearing her typical MMA top and shorts, Rousey returned in a more long style of attire.
Rousey makes a huge return, but her return was not wasted. Ronda Rousey went on to win the women’s Royal Rumble match.
The match featured several surprise entrants but no WWE NXT Superstars. Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Mickie James was allowed to come out with her title belt, and other surprises included Melina, Sarah Logan, Alicia Fox and Cameron, among others.
Follow along with our live coverage of the Royal Rumble here.
As noted earlier, she will be in a key match at WrestleMania.
