Breaking: Ronda Rousey’s Return Booked, Will Fight For Title In June

While Ronda Rousey only has a single WWE pay-per-view performance to her record, the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion has already been called out by the reigning WWE Raw Women’s Champion.

Ronda Rousey has successfully made the transition into the world of professional wrestling, after having not competed inside the octagon since 2016. Rousey made her big WWE PPV debut at WrestleMania 34, having taken out Triple H and Stephanie McMahon in a tag team match up with Kurt Angle.

Rousey has made multiple appearances on Monday Night Raw throughout her tenure with the WWE, but it would appear that the Olympic Judoka medalist is now being called out for a match against Nia Jax.

Reigning Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax recently revealed at the NBC Universal Upfront in New York City’s Radio City Music Hall that she wants to put her title on the line in a match up against Rousey at WWE Money in the Bank.

The event will go down June 17 live on the WWE Network.

“.@NiaJaxWWE names @RondaRousey as her next challenger for the #RAW Women’s Championship!”

Here’s Ronda’s reaction to the news:

“This challenge came earlier than expected… but I was born ready…I’ll see you at #MITB, @NiaJaxWWE.”
