Ronda Rousey returns to WWE at Royal Rumble

This was absolutely huge for Rousey to get back into pro wrestling. She hadn’t appeared for the company since April 2019 at WrestleMania and has had a child in the time since she’s been gone.

Though she often drew ire for her criticism of fans and of pro wrestling in general at times, it was still hard to deny when she was in the ring that Rousey was a natural in this business. And leading up to WrestleMania season once again, it’ll be truly fascinating to see what is next for her.

But for now, in the true spirit of the WWE Royal Rumble, it’s best to just sit back and appreciate the moment of her return, the reaction from the crowd, and how special of a moment we truly got to see from St. Louis.
