Ronda Rousey Makes Surprise Appearance at AEW Revolution

The Baddest Woman on the Planet appears to be back in professional wrestling.

Ronda Rousey made a very surprising appearance Sunday night at AEW Revolution , when she stepped into the ring for a face-to-face with multi-time AEW Women's World Champion "Timeless" Toni Storm.

Storm had just defeated Rousey's good friend Marina Shafir and was celebrating at the top of the entrance ramp, when Ronda rolled into the ring and gestured for Toni to make her way back into the ring.

Toni appeared more than game for the challenge as she stood up very quickly with a sly smile on her face and started marching toward the ring. A swarm of security personnel hit the ring at the same time and kept both women from making contact with one another.

Marina Shafir took advantage of the chaos and clocked Storm from behind, rendering her unconscious. The Problem and Rousey then fled through the sold-out crowd inside the Crypto.com Arena.

Rousey's appearance at Revolution is particularly surprising as she just made her return to MMA. Ronda and Gina Carano are set to fight each other coming up on May 16. That fight will also be taking place in Los Angeles and will be broadcast live on Netflix.

The featherweight contest inside the Intuit Dome will be Ronda's first fight in over a decade, and it will be Carano’s first since 2009.

Ronda has largely been retired from wrestling since her second run with WWE ended in 2023. Her last match was a tag team bout with Marina Shafir. The pair defeated Athena and Billie Starkz on an episode of ROH later that same year.
