The former WWE star competed at Lucha VaVOOM on Thursday.

Ronda Rousey was thought to be done with professional wrestling. The former UFC fighter made her official WWE debut at WWE Royal Rumble 2018, signaling her intent to wrestle her first squared circle match at WWE WrestleMania 34 later that spring. Teaming with Kurt Angle to face Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, Rousey wowed in her debut, with many praising the bout as the greatest debut match of all time.

Rousey's second WWE run began where her first started, at WWE Royal Rumble 2022. This time, Rousey would win the Women's Royal Rumble Match altogether and go on to become WWE SmackDown Women's Champion that summer. She held it until this past December before moving on to pursuing the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships alongside longtime friend Shayna Baszler.

This tag match lasted roughly five minutes and ended with Rousey submitting Kendrick with an ankle lock.

Up until this point, Rousey's entire squared circle career occurred within WWE ropes.

There is no word on whether this appearance was a one-off for Rousey or if she plans on competing more in the future. It's worth noting that both Shafir and Valkyrie are currently signed to AEW, but its unclear as to if AEW would have interest in bringing Rousey in.
