Following Toni Storm’s victory over Marina Shafir at AEW Revolution, former UFC champion Ronda Rousey shockingly called out the beloved AEW star, who was quick to respond. This required security and officials to swarm and keep them apart, with Shafir then blindsiding Storm with a sucker punch, adding to the chaos. This surprise appearance, coming amid Rousey’s preparations for her comeback fight against Gina Carano on May 16, has now prompted fans to speculate about a potential match between the former WWE wrestlers.
39-year-old Rousey went from being a huge name in MMA to professional wrestling in 2018, signing with WWE and debuting at WrestleMania 34 alongside Kurt Angle in a mixed tag match. From there, she captured the Raw Women’s Championship, became a key part of the women’s evolution, and main-evented WrestleMania 35 in a historic triple threat. However, her second WWE run was far less memorable, and despite making her Ring of Honor debut teaming with Marina Shafir, it was thought Rousey had quietly retired from the ring.
