Ronda Rousey has finally returned to WWE at Royal Rumble 2022! It’s the beginning of a whole new era for the WWE women’s roster.
The Baddest Woman on the Planet returned during the WWE Women’s Royal Rumble Match as entrant number 28. As soon as she entered the ring, she immediately showed the WWE Universe that she hadn’t lost her ability to be the most dominant woman in the ring.
Upon entering the ring, she eliminated Nikki A.S.H., Brie Bella, Shotzi, and WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair!

The fans haven’t been able to stop reacting to the return of Ronda Rousey
From the moment she returned to the moment she emerged victorious, and even beyond, the WWE Universe has been going berserk over this return!
When she left in 2019 to start a family, there was no guarantee about her comeback. However, after she gave birth to her daughter, questions about her return started arising. Everyone wanted The Baddest Woman turned The Mother to come back to the ring!

Hate it or love it – Ronda Rousey's star power means she deserves to main event WrestleMania – part-timer or not.
I'm glad she's back and I'm happy she won the Royal Rumble… #WWE #RoyalRumble #RondaRousey pic.twitter.com/0Vca0qWNLE

Now, there will always be some who aren’t satisfied with the result. While most fans have reacted with enthusiasm, some haven’t embraced Rousey’s victory at all.

This was worse than Roman winning in 2015

Why? She hasnt been around for more than a year
— Bruce Hudson (@WBrunoHudson7) January 30, 2022
Same crap. Different Rumble. Ronda just comes in & takes it. Our women get overlooked. Hopefully people are just excited Charlotte didn’t win & get to pick her own opponent instead of actually being happy about Ronda.

Nevertheless, it’s confirmed that Rousey is back with WWE for a while now. And, she might even headline WrestleMania for a second time!
The women’s champions situation was almost similar to the current scenario the last time Rousey was with WWE. She was the Raw Women’s Champion and Charlotte Flair was the SmackDown Women’s Champion.

However, Becky Lynch defeated both of them in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 35! That was Rousey’s last appearance before she returned at Royal Rumble 2022.
Now that she has won, she can challenge either Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch or SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair.

On the other hand, WWE can write a storyline to reignite the old rivalry and bring all three of them back in the ring or even bring in fresh talent, such as Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley, in the storyline. The possibilities are infinite!
