Ronda Rousey hasn’t appeared in a WWE ring since WrestleMania 39, but during the May 15 episode of WWE RAW, she and Shayna Baszler made their returns.
On Monday night, Raquel Rodriguez one-half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, defeated Chelsea Green. The match came as a replacement for the scheduled title bout in which Rodriguez and Liv Morgan were going to defend the gold against Green and Sonya Deville, as Morgan was unable to compete.
As Rodriguez began to celebrate, Rousey came up behind the powerhouse and attacked her. Rousey and Baszler then ganged up on Rodriguez.
During the attack, Rousey got a microphone and said that Rodriguez will have to defend her WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships with or without Morgan. Baszler then punctuated the beat-down with a knee that floored Rodriguez.
