Former WWE Superstar Ronda Rousey is ready to appear in Philadelphia during WrestleMania 40 weekend. Rousey’s last WWE match concluded in defeat against Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam last year. Since then, she has been spotted at several independent wrestling events towards the end of 2023.
According to an announcement by WrestleCon, the former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion will be in Philadelphia during WrestleMania 40 weekend. During her time there, she will be available for photo opportunities, autograph signings, and personal item signings.
Ronda Rousey, known for her transition from mixed martial arts icon to WWE superstar, made a significant impact on the wrestling world. In WWE, Rousey quickly rose to prominence, capturing the RAW Women’s Championship in 2018 and headlining the first-ever women’s main event at WrestleMania 35 alongside Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. She even won the Women’s Royal Rumble in 2022. Fans eagerly await her appearance during WrestleMania 40 weekend, although her future in WWE remains uncertain.
Is Ronda Rousey making a WWE comeback?
After her last WWE appearance at SummerSlam last year, where Ronda Rousey faced off against Shayna Baszler in an MMA Rules match, Rousey’s wrestling career took an unexpected turn. Rather than stepping away from wrestling as anticipated, Rousey surprised many by delving into the independent wrestling circuit. Her post-WWE journey saw her venture into various independent wrestling promotions, including Ring of Honor.
Despite expressing her desire to focus on spending time with her family, Rousey briefly returned to the ring in November as a favor to her longtime friend Marina Shafir. While the possibility of her return to WWE seems unlikely, her appearance in Philadelphia during WrestleMania 40 weekend keeps fans guessing. However, as WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins recently suggested, Rousey may have found the WWE schedule too demanding for her liking. Only time will reveal if she decides to return or not.
