Ronda Rousey says she was supposed to return to WWE as a heel
During an interview on the, Daniel Cormier asked Ronda Rousey if she was surprised that she received such a big babyface pop from the live audience when she returned to WWE earlier this year at Royal Rumble 2022. She left WWE as a heel in 2019 and shit multiple times afterwards, apparently in, so there might have been some uncertainty as to how fans would receive her for this year’s comeback.
Ronda was indeed surprised by the fan reaction for her return to pro wrestling; she expected to be heavily booed for winning the Royal Rumble match just like babyface Batista was rejected by the fans in 2014:
“I blocked them out and I didn’t let them in. And I just went in and did my job and got out, and I think I kind of missed out on really enjoying that moment because I was expecting the worst in people. And that’s how the WWE Universe gets you.”
I’d like to point out that being gotten to by the fans is something that Ronda has a knack for, whether it’s WWE or UFC, and it sounds like more of the same right there.
Rousey said she was supposed to return to WWE as a heel, but the reaction she got at Royal Rumble was so loud and positive that Vince McMahon changed plans:
