10 Most Shocking Things WWE Have Done In 2018 (So Far)
10. Rowdy Royal Rumble
When it came to Royal Rumble season, it was essentially guaranteed that UFC's Ronda Rousey would be making her official WWE debut at some point during the show. Even the most casual of fan would have heard the rumours that were circulating.
Following the conclusion of the historic first-ever women's Royal Rumble match that saw Asuka come out victorious, the 'Empress of Tomorrow' found herself being confronted by both the Raw and SmackDown Live! Women's Champions. With a classic post-Rumble staredown in progress, the former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion strolled out to the stage as the crowd came unglued.
The notorious striker proceeded to point at the WrestleMania 34 sign many, many times, and had an awkward handshake with Stephanie McMahon. At the time, everything about this seemed strange, especially when it was revealed Rousey wouldn't be challenging for either of the titles.
Even though it was a given that she would be debuting at the pay-per-view, it was still monumental to see Ronda in a WWE ring. With two televised in-ring appearances under her belt, the 'Baddest Woman on the Planet' has shown how much she's learned during training. The majority of fans were left dazzled throughout her debut bout at the Show of Shows as she proved she has exactly what it takes to succeed under the WWE banner.
Plus, that armbar looks rather nasty, doesn't it?
