Ronda Rousey made her big return to WWE after being away for a few years at Saturday’s Royal Rumble event where she was a surprise entrant in the Women’s Royal Rumble match.
She ended up outlasting the remaining competitors to win the bout. This win sets up a SmackDown Women’s Championship match with Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 38 in Dallas.
Rousey took time off from WWE after WrestleMania 35 to start a family and she gave birth to her first child late last year. Rousey took to Instagram to comment on her return and talk about the importance of it:
“I just had a baby 4 months ago…. Since the day I found out I was pregnant and calculated my due date, I knew I wanted to return to the @wwe at the #royalrumble2022. Two weeks, even two months postpartum that goal seemed crazier than ever before. But I just missed it so much… and I so badly wanted to give Pō the same example that my mom gave to me and my sisters – she never broke stride following her dreams while having us. Now it’s my turn.”
After the show, Rousey spoke about the reaction she got from the fans at the show, which is where she noted that she won’t “fall for it this time.”
