Ronda Rousey made an unexpected appearance at the AEW Revolution 2026 pay-per-view that took place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.
As of now, it is unlikely that Ronda Rousey will return to the company, according to a report by Mike Johnson of PWInsider Elite. She came into the ring right after a singles match between Toni Storm and her close ally, Marina Shafir. Following that, she walked off with Shafir.
The Baddest Woman on the Planet had a confrontation with Storm before the officials separated the two.
Ronda Rousey is set to return to MMA for a fight against Gina Carano
The match will take place on Saturday, May 16, 2026, at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, and will stream live on Netflix, making it one of the most highly anticipated bouts in MMA history. Because wWE is on Netflix but I figured it’d be easier to ask for forgiveness instead of permission on this one, she said, “It’s kind of a cool little bit of a ‘f**k you’ to the TKO group, which is kind of funny,. It was announced last month that Ronda Rousey will return to MMA to square off against Gina Carano.
So it can be said that Rousey is not expected to return to wrestling in the foreseeable future. Her AEW appearance was a one-off to promote her MMA return, her upcoming fight with Gina Carano, and to support Marina Shafir. Moreover, she was a local, and her MMA bout is also set to take place in Los Angeles, so it made sense for her to appear. In a recent video on social media, Ronda Rousey took a jab at WWE’s parent company, TKO, following her AEW appearance. This was in regard to her upcoming fight with Gina Carano, which will stream on Netflix, which is also the official partner of WWE.
