Rousey is set to compete in an MMA fight against Gina Carano on Netflix this May 16th, and she’s clearly decided to pull out all the stops to promote the match.
She spent the last two weeks hammering the UFC for its weak 2026 offerings. Now she’s popping back up in the pro wrestling world, which she largely left after 2023. “Rowdy” didn’t actually wrestle at AEW Revolution but played her part in some shenanigans after a match between Toni Storm and Ronda’s friend Marina Shafir.
Storm won that match but was then lured back into the ring by Rousey, only to get hit from behind by Shafir. This may not be the only spot from Rousey, who was given a position amongst Shafir’s ‘Death Riders. ’ Ronda Rousey getting booed.
