The future of Ronda Rousey in WWE has been a topic of conversation among combat sports fans. Several sources close to the company have revealed the conclusion of her second stint in professional wrestling following her recent defeat at SummerSlam.
There has been much speculation about her next move after leaving WWE. Various sources have even suggested that The Badass Woman of the Planet might make a return to mixed martial arts under a new deal with the UFC. However, no one predicted that the Triple Crown champion of WWE would play a role in the American independent wrestling scene.
Just a few hours ago, the company Lucha VaVOOM held the Halloween Spectacular AREA 51 show. The event in Los Angeles, California saw Marina Shafir being attacked by the team of Taya Valkyrie and Brian Kendrick. Suddenly, Ronda Rousey emerged from the audience to save her partner, turning the altercation into a tag team match.
The Badass Woman of the Planet remained on the edge until she received the tag, punishing Valkyrie and Kendrick with great dominance. In the final moments of the match, Ronda Rousey forced Bryan Kendrick to submit using her Ankle Lock, marking her first professional wrestling match since SummerSlam 2022 when she faced Shayna Baszler under "MMA rules."
Several hours later, Ronda Rousey reacted to her participation in the event on her social media: "Honestly, it was the best hybrid wrestling and burlesque show I've had the pleasure of surprising. Anyone who doubted me or Marina Shafir when it comes to making magic in the ring is a fool. Thanks to Taya Valkyrie and Brian Kendrick for being willing to fall to us."
