Earlier this year, Ronda Rousey made a surprise return after a very long absence and entered the women's Royal Rumble match with number 28. She eliminated Charlotte Flair last and won the royal brawl, continuing her feud with 'The Queen' to WrestleMania Backlash, where she won the SmackDown Women's Championship.
Last month, 'Rowdy' clinched her second SmackDown Women's Championship and returned to the top of the women's division after a brief period of tarnishing. In July, Ronda was in fact defeated by Liv Morgan, who had made perfect use of the briefcase won at Money in the Bank.
Rousey took her revenge at Extreme Rules, proving to be the best athlete around when Charlotte Flair isn't around. In a video of her on her YouTube channel, the former MMA star analyzed her second WWE stint after returning from motherhood.
Ronda Rousey on her second stint
“I think this stint is easier than the first one. I know the dynamics that govern this business much better and I know how to interact with other superstars. When I first set foot in WWE, I was inexperienced and had no idea how to behave” - explained Ronda Rousey.
"Now I'm more sure of myself and I can't wait to get great satisfaction in the coming months. The others also understood how to interface with me” - she added. Rousey reiterated that she will no longer participate in WWE European tours: “Having become a mother, I have to take care of my daughter and I cannot be away from home for too long.
I had a lot of fun during the tours of the company, but my family could not bear such a prolonged absence from me. I could participate in a single event in an important location, but I categorically exclude doing a full tour in the next few years.
Let's say they are like the emergency button”. In the latest episode of SmackDown, Shotzi Blackheart left everyone speechless and guaranteed herself the chance to take on Ronda Rousey in the Survivor Series. Ronda Rousey might be getting additional help from fellow MMA personality Ariel Helwani.
“I could have and could help Ronda Rousey. Yep, yep. Can’t beat that. Not great on the mic, not believable, little too stiff,” Helwani said. “Have me, the voice of the voiceless, the voice of MMA, the voice of combat sports, come out there and cut promos on her behalf.
That’s what I wanna do. I don’t wanna cut promos on my behalf, I wanna cut promos on other people’s behalf."
