As noted, Rousey made her debut by interrupting a post-Rumble segment with winner Asuka, SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair and RAW Women's Champion Alexa Bliss.

She arrived into the ring wearing "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's leather jacket, even using his classic flame font for her name on the Titantron - a reference to her UFC nickname, "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey, which was approved by Piper himself. All eyes were on the ladies. She lost the last two fights of her career and retired from MMA at the age of 29. After the conclusion of the first-ever women's Royal Rumble match, Rousey emerged and shocked the crowd.

The "Rowdy" one is now a full-fledged WWE star.

Rousey's move to the world of wrestling - or sports entertainment as WWE prefers to call it - has been hinted at strongly for some time. Strowman is likely out of the Universal Championship picture after losing at the Royal Rumble, but it figures that he'll be fighting for a title or in a marquee match in New Orleans. But where there's this much smoke there is usually fire. Today, the UFC has four women's divisions.

Ronda Rousey is part of the WWE.

Here, we have an inexperienced, overpaid performer getting the red carpet treatment during a fan favorite's time to shine, on top of being handed a gimmick.

Especially after he was beaten in under 10 minutes the last time they faced off. The Usos got the better of Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin while Rollins-Jordan finally had the title taken away from The Bar members Sheamus and Cesaro. She also used to be a moderator of a Pokemon forum. She was highly recognizable within the Octagon but she also appeared in TV shows, movies, and magazines.

"Just have fun. That's what it's about". WWE releases its next set of numbers on February 8. That said, we can brace for an impact episode. Rousey could build on that viewership. Here's what we think WWE should do with her.

The reason for the failed test was not revealed. Her partner has yet to be determined. She joins Brock Lesnar as both have now made the transition from UFC stars to WWE superstars.

Ronda Rousey's appearance at WWE's Royal Rumble pay-per-view event Sunday night left many questions unanswered, including who the former UFC champion will face at WrestleMania 34.

The timing couldn't have been more appropriate, either.

The men's Rumble found itself in a place it's never really been: the middle of the card. "They've been waiting for a women's revolution". First priority on my timeline for the next several years. The Rock and Rousey share an agent, creating the possibility of a big-money match. That's the job guys die for. Rousey then entered the ring and pointed to a WrestleMania sign, all but assuring the former UFC star will make her WWE debut at April's WrestleMania.
