Ronda Rousey Announces Shocking Return to WWE, Vows to Dominate a New Era and Finish What She Started
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the world of sports entertainment, former UFC champion and WWE megastar Ronda Rousey has officially announced her stunning return to WWE.
The announcement, made via a surprise appearance on WWE programming and confirmed on her social media, marks the beginning of what Rousey calls her “unfinished mission” in the squared circle.
Fans and insiders alike were taken completely by surprise. Rousey, who last appeared in WWE over a year ago, had been largely quiet about her wrestling future. With her focus reportedly shifting to family life and other projects outside the ring, many believed her time as a full-time performer had come to a close. But on Monday Night Raw, the lights dimmed, the crowd erupted, and Rousey’s iconic music hit — signaling the return of one of the most polarizing and dominant figures in wrestling history.
“I’m not here for nostalgia,” Rousey said during an emotional promo. “I’m here because there’s unfinished business. I walked away once — but now I’m walking back in, and I’m not leaving until I take back everything that’s mine.”
Rousey’s initial run in WWE was nothing short of groundbreaking. Debuting at WrestleMania 34 in 2018, she transitioned from UFC royalty to pro wrestling superstar seemingly overnight. Her rookie year was one of the most impressive in company history, culminating in her headlining WrestleMania 35 — the first women’s main event in the event’s long history — alongside Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.
Now, she returns to a women’s division that has grown stronger and more competitive in her absence. Stars like Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Iyo Sky, and Liv Morgan have risen to the top, and Rousey is walking back into a roster that’s hungrier than ever. But if her past is any indication, Rousey thrives in the face of challenge.
WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H welcomed her return, stating, “Ronda brings a level of intensity, star power, and legitimacy that is rare in our business. She helped elevate the women’s division to new heights — and now she’s back to push it even further.”
While her next move hasn’t been officially revealed, speculation is already swirling about a potential clash with current Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley or a long-awaited rematch with Becky Lynch — a rivalry that has defined modern WWE history. Fans are also buzzing about the possibility of Rousey appearing at major upcoming events like SummerSlam or even setting her sights on WrestleMania 41.
Social media exploded following her return, with #RondaRousey and #WWE trending worldwide within minutes. While some fans welcomed her with open arms, others questioned how her return would impact the current roster — a sign that her presence continues to command passionate reaction.
Whether loved or hated, one thing is clear: Ronda Rousey is back, and the WWE landscape will never be the same again.
