Ronda Rousey makes WWE return, wins women's Royal Rumble match

After nearly three years away from professional wrestling, Ronda Rousey returned to WWE on Saturday night.

Rousey, a former Raw women's champion, made her surprise comeback during the women's Royal Rumble match, entering 28th and eventually winning to secure a spot in the main event of WrestleMania 38 in April.

Rousey was dominant in the ring during her return, donning all black with "Baddest" written across her gear. The 34-year-old scored the final elimination of the match, tossing Charlotte Flair over the top rope. In total, Rousey eliminated four competitors, Nikki A.S.H., Brie Bella and Shotzi in addition to Flair.
