Ronda Rousey Speaks Out On In-Ring Return

Ronda Rousey shocked the professional wrestling world yesterday when she made a surprising return to the ring after her WWE exit seemed to indicate a retirement from the sport. 

Rousey showed up at Lucha VaVoom in LA to team up with fellow Four Horsewomen member Marina Shafir for the first time ever after never getting the chance to do so in WWE. The pair defeated the duo of Brian Kendrick and Taya Valkyrie. Rousey last wrestled at SummerSlam 2023 when she lost to Shayna Baszler in what was a poorly received match. 

Following her return to action, Rousey took to Instagram to comment on her victory, calling out doubters. 

“@luchavavoom was honestly the best Lucha/burlesque hybrid show I’ve ever had the pleasure of jumping into unannounced. Anyone who doubted me and @marinashafir could make magic in a ring is an idiot - thank you @thetayavalkyrie and @mr.briankendrick for being down to get down with us.”

It is unclear whether or not this means a return to wrestling full-time for Rousey, or whether it was just a one time thing.
