Emma Returns To WWE – Challenges Ronda Rousey – As spoiled earlier today, Emma (also known as Tenille Dashwood) made her WWE return on tonight’s SmackDown and challenged Ronda Rousey.
Ronda Rousey wanted to face all challengers and she issued an open challenge for this week. Before her match tonight, Rousey was in full-blown heel mode as she talked about being an active champion.
After Rousey’s promo, Emma was revealed as her opponent and she is back to using the name Emma. This is Emma’s first time in a WWE ring in almost 5 years. Emma was very competitive but after raking the eyes, Rousey won after hitting the Piper’s Pit and the armbar submission.
There’s no word yet on if Emma is back with WWE full-time, but we will keep you updated. It was previously indicated that she may be back for more than just this match.
Emma originally signed with WWE to work FCW in 2011. She underwent shoulder surgery, and then officially reported to FCW in June 2012. She worked WWE NXT until being called up to RAW in January 2014, and eventually returned to NXT in January 2014 for a one year run. Emma returned to the main roster in March 2016, and was released on October 29, 2017. Emma has worked for ROH, Impact and various indie companies since leaving WWE. She is a one-time former Knockouts World Tag Team Champion with Madison Rayne.
