Ronda Rousey, the former WWE star and MMA legend, made a surprise appearance at AEW Revolution 2026, confronting Toni Storm after Storm's victory over Rousey's friend, Marina Shafir. Rousey, who has a stellar MMA record of 12 wins and 2 losses, opened up about her struggles with motivation following defeats to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes. She admitted that she lost her joy for fighting, stating, "I just didn't want to be there" during her last two fights. However, she is set to return to the ring on May 16, 2026, facing Gina Carano at the Intuit Dome in California. Rousey credited Carano for reigniting her passion for the sport, emphasizing that her comeback is now for herself rather than external pressures. In her wrestling career, Rousey has held the WWE Women's World Championship twice and has made a significant impact in the wrestling world. While it seems unlikely she will return to WWE, fans speculate about her future with AEW.
