Ronda Rousey Reportedly Not Expected Back In AEW Anytime Soon

Ronda Rousey reportedly won’t be back in AEW soon.

At AEW Revolution, fans watching around the world were stunned when Ronda Rousey entered the ring to confront Toni Storm. Particularly given the former UFC star’s return to MMA is just a few months away, many online were confused as to whether ‘The Baddest Woman On The Planet’ was sticking around after her shock debut for All Elite Wrestling. Now, more has emerged on Rousey’s status with AEW following Revolution.

According to PWInsider Elite, it’s believed Ronda Rousey isn’t expected back in AEW anytime soon, with her one-off appearance believed to have been done to promote her upcoming MMA fight.

“Ronda Rousey is not expected back in AEW anytime soon. Her appearance at Revolution was, as of now, just a one-off designed to promote her MMA return and appear in support of Marina Shafir. Since Revolution was local for Rousey, and in the same market as her fight against Gina Carano, it was just a moment where it made sense for all involved since all the constellations were aligned.”

Particularly after it emerged that Toni Storm is set to be out for an extended period of time, some online questioned whether the former AEW Women’s World Champion’s absence will have scuppered plans for a showdown involving the former WWE and UFC star. However, the report from PWInsider notes that there was never a plan for Storm and Rousey to square off after their interaction at the March 15 pay-per-view.

It had previously been reported that Rousey’s arrival at AEW Revolution ‘fitted into her vendetta against TKO’, with this possibly being another reason behind her decision to appear without a commitment to the company longterm. You can read more about that here.
