Ronda Rousey is considered one of the best names in the UFC, but her WWE career remains quite controversial despite having a successful run. She started working as a professional wrestler in WWE in 2018. Previously, she made multiple sporadic appearances in the promotion. She became a part of WWE in January 2018, and she made her WWE debut as an employee at the Royal Rumble 2018.
Ronda Rousey remained undefeated in WWE during his first run in the promotion, and she even won the WWE Raw Women's Championship soon after her debut. She carried the title to WrestleMania 35, and she became the first and only woman in WWE history to defend the WWE Women's title in the main event of the show.
Ronda Rousey thanks Paul Heyman for his contributions
After losing the match at WrestleMania 35, she remained out of action for 3 years before finally making her grand return as a surprise entrant during the women's Royal Rumble match in 2022. She made an instant impact by winning the Royal Rumble match, but her second run could not be as good as her first run.
Ronda Rousey is a two times World Champion in WWE
She wrestled her final match in WWE at Summerslam 2023 and left WWE forever. She faced a lot of controversy lately for her controversial remarks about WWE. It is pretty much confirmed that she will never return to wrestling again. Recently, she appeared on The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 FM, where she discussed how Paul Heyman motivated her. She said;
“Well, I guess like how this started — it was strange. It was the go-home [episode of RAW} before WrestleMania, where I was set to be [in] the first-ever woman’s main event with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. In true WWE fashion, it was about 7 o’clock. The doors had already opened in the arena, and Vince had torn apart the whole script of the day. And we didn’t know what the hell we were going to do, and we were about to be out in the arena… So I was kind of freaking out.

“Paul Heyman pulled me aside. I think he was just trying to like get me to stop being less nervous, and thinking about something else. And he was saying, ‘What kind of movie do you want to star in?’ I’m like, ‘What do you — what?’
"He was like, ‘What kind of movie would you want to star in?’ I’d never thought about that, because I’ve always been a little spoiled brat waiting for someone just to hand me my greenlit dream project ready to go. And I didn’t realize until that moment, like ‘I don’t know? What is the role that I could play better than anybody else could?’ said Ronda Rousey.
