Though she was advised not to wrestle on SmackDown due to injury, Natalya decided to do so anyway, with Tegan Nox by her side, and ultimately succumbed to a loss at the hands of Shayna Baszler, who broke her nose at the end of 2022. Still, this didn’t dissuade Nattie from keeping her eyes firmly […]

Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey might just be the most polarizing performers in all of WWE. To some, namely fans who watched them come up in the MMA circles, the duo are the most believable fighters in the company, with an ability to break bones and hurt people in way that traditional wrestlers simply can’t. […]

WWE fans, it’s official: after six or so weeks away, “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey is officially back on Friday Night SmackDown. That’s right, after dropping her strap to Charlotte Flair to close out 2022, Rousey was summoned into action by Natalya, who was having words with Shayna Baszler about being nothing but a “Ronda Rousey Clone” […]

Folks, it’s official: the 2023 Royal Rumble is officially upon us. All of the groundwork has been laid, the feuds have been solidified, and at the end of the night, the “Road to WrestleMania” will officially begin. And the best part? Because of the nature of the Royal Rumble, there should be plenty of intrigue […]

Folks, it’s official: Charlotte Flair is back in WWE, and “The Queen” is a champion once more thanks to a minute-long victory over Ronda Rousey to open up her 14th reign with one of the promotion’s main roster belts. Stopping by The Bump to discuss her return to WWE, Flair explained how her return to […]

Before SmackDown, Raquel Rodriguez made a bold prediction that Ronda Rousey wouldn’t leave the final SmackDown of 2022 as the SmackDown Women’s Champion, and like a regular WWE Nostradamus, her premonition proved correct… just maybe not in the way she hoped. That’s right, while the former NXT Champion wasn’t able to unseat “The Rowdy One” […]

Raquel Rodriguez has had a tough go in WWE over the past few months. She lost her tag team partner, Aliyah, to an injury at the hands of Damage CTRL, watched her other tag team partner, Shotzi, suffer brutal beatdowns at the hands of WWE’s two remaining Four Horsewomen of MMA, Shayna Baszler and Ronda […]

Ronda Rousey has been a member of WWE on and off since late 2017, when it was reported that she signed with the promotion after becoming a fixture of shows from the crowd. Though she didn’t make her official debut until WrestleMania 34, working a mixed tag match with Kurt Angle against Paul “Triple H” […]

When WWE signed Ronda Rousey, it was supposed to be a game-changer. One of the most popular MMA fighters of all time who quite literally changed the face of the industry forever, Rousey’s addition to WWE fully shattered any remnants of the “Divas Division” and boldly declared that women in The Fed could be legit […]

When WWE signed former UFC champion Ronda Rousey to a contract a few years ago, it was a huge deal bringing a combat fighter over to the world of sports entertainment. When Rousey made her debut at Wrestlemania 34, it was much better than people expected. She put on a showcase against Triple H and […]

Ronda Rousey is one of the baddest women on the planet; she was a transcendent force in the MMA world, parlayed her talents into roles in movies like The Fast and the Furious 7, and has since taken the professional wrestling world by storm as well, with three different title reigns as a WWE Superstar […]

Though Marina Shafir has technically been a member of the AEW Galaxy for almost a year now, making her debut on AEW Dark on December 14th, 2021, to many, her biggest contribution to the professional wrestling world remains her run in NXT from 2018-21, when she and fellow MMA fighter Jessamyn Duke signed with the […]

Folks, I regret to inform you that WWE is going crush angles; I know, I hate it too, but in a recent backstage segment immediately after Shotzi secured the number one contendership for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, the former Blackheart ran into Emma to discuss the prospects of wrestling Ronda Rousey on a future event […]

In case you somehow forgot, Ronda Rousey booked herself an open challenge on WWE SmackDown in order to prove herself a fighting champion of the blue brand’s appropriately named SmackDown Women’s Championship, but who would take up the challenge? Would it be Liv Morgan, the woman she defeated at Extreme Rules for the belt? Or […]

When Liv Morgan declared her desire to wrestle Ronda Rousey in an Extreme Rules match at WWE’s conveniently named “Premium Live Event,” Extreme Rules, it was always going to be an uphill battle to retain her belt. Sure, Morgan has proven her hardcore credential somewhat in the leadup to the match, as her big-time spot […]

Liv Morgan is WWE’s SmackDown Women’s Champion. Though she didn’t win the belt under the most prestigious of circumstances, as she opted to cash the Women’s Money in the Bank briefcase in on Ronda Rousey after her match with Natalya at Money in the Bank the “Premium Live Event” instead of surviving an all-out war […]

WWE’s Liv Morgan loves professional wrestling. SmackDown‘s commentary team of Corey Graves and Michael Cole that she was in attendance at the East Rutherford, New Jersey running of Extreme Rules as a fan in 2014, has tweeted out her praise for dozens of wrestlers over the years, and even posted a picture with Minoru Suzuki […]

Booking a big-time performer to lose a match is hard. Make them look too weak, and they’ll lose their mystique, book them too well, and it can make the WWE Universe lose confidence in the match’s winner; for a producer to make it work, they need to ride that fine line and perfectly split the […]

After months of buildup, card changes, and… oh yeah, the retirement of Vince McMahon after four decades on top of Titan Towers, SummerSlam is officially here. Fans will get to see who is the Last Man Standing, see if Judgement gets passed, and finally find out who will be the focal point of the RAW […]

It’s always weird to see wrestlers from the WWE, AEW, or another promotion appear on “normal” sports media. Sure, outside athletes will occasionally make their way into the squared circle, with Shaq wrestling for AEW in an ill-fated angle that berthed the streak of Jade Cargill, Ennis Kanter winning the 24/7 Championship in the WWE, […]

When asked about who was the “most consequential figure in pro wrestling over the past 40 years” following Vince McMahon’s retirement from the WWE, Dave Meltzer gave a surprisingly detailed response with multiple candidates; he pointed to Hulk Hogan, Antonio Peña, Rey Mysterio, Antonio Inoki, and even Ronda Rousey as folks worthy of being in […]

It’s officially been a week since Vince McMahon retired from the WWE, and frankly, not much has changed. Sure, Madusa returned to NXT to help out Roxanne Perez, Brock Lesnar maybe almost quit, and Goldberg was reportedly called to almost take his place, but since then, other than the absence of the 24/7 Championship and […]

When Ronda Rousey pulled out the win over Natalya in the penultimate match of the 2022 edition of WWE‘s Money in the Bank, it was a predictable yet fun way to close out the fifth match of an all-around successful premium live event. … but then it happened. That’s right, not two hours after winning […]

Ronda Rousey famously retired from the UFC back in 2016 when she took a brutal knockout loss to Amanda Nunes. Since then, the former bantamweight champion became a WWE star, farmer, and actress among other things. Retirements in MMA are usually similar to when Michael Jordan retires, it doesn’t stick. It’s only natural for there […]

When Ronda Rousey took to the wring to discuss her upcoming bout at Money in the Bank versus Natalya, it was only a matter of time before one of the many challengers for her belt, be that her aforementioned future foe or someone else, hit the ring to interrupt the “Rowdy One.” On this particular […]

Edmen Shahbazyan was seen as Ronda Rousey’s protege for a long time after he was finding success training at her gym. The UFC middleweight was on a good run until he was stopped by Derek Brunson. Edmen Shahbazyan recently changed management teams and things started to change very quickly. The UFC middleweight needed to take […]

There was a time when one of the biggest fights that could be booked in MMA was a super-fight between UFC champion Ronda Rousey and Cris Cyborg. The two women were the best in the sport and many wanted the fight to happen. Cris Cyborg always made it clear she wanted the fight to happen […]

Ronda Rousey was back in the news after WrestleMania 38 and UFC bantamweight champion Julianna Pena was having none of it. Rousey left the UFC back in 2016 and her legacy has been a bit complicated ever since. Julianna Pena was on The MMA Hour where she went off on the former UFC champion. The […]

Ronda Rousey had quite the eventful weekend in pro wrestling with WWE as she was part of the big WrestleMania 38 weekend. She got a lot of attention for multiple reasons and not all of it was good. There was a lot of talk about her being moved to the co-main event. Ronda Rousey made […]

Ronda Rousey’s appearance at WWE’s WrestleMania 38 on Saturday night didn’t come without some controversy.

Rousey took to Twitter Sunday morning to shut down […]

Earlier this week, former UFC Champion Cain Velasquez was arrested and charged with attempted murder. Former UFC star and current WWE superstar Ronda Rousey appears to be coming to Velasquez’s defense. I would have done the same thing if not worse #freeCainVelasquez — Ronda Rousey (@RondaRousey) March 3, 2022 Rousey posted on Twitter Thursday morning: […]

Dana White famously declared many years ago that women would never fight in the UFC. Today the joke is that White’s announcements usually mean the opposite of what he says. Ronda Rousey can confirm that this statement wasn’t true. Dana White recently spoke about it with Ronda Rousey on her new show. She famously made […]

This year’s Royal Rumble was a fun premium event with a lot of nice surprises. No championship title is cheapened by a needless Kickoff Show. The lack of any Tag Team Championship match is also just fine, as it allowed the entire program to be lean, not overstaying its welcome. Read below to be up […]

WWE fans tuning into the latest edition of the Royal Rumble were in for a nice surprise. There were chatters of famous women’s MMA star Ronda Rousey entering the Royal Rumble, but nothing was set in stone coming into Saturday night.

Ronda Rousey is the Women’s Royal Rumble Winner, winning from the #28 spot. Sasha Banks drew the unlucky number 1, entering the ring with a Sailor Moon-inspired outfit.
