10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE In 2018

10. Ronda Rousey's Royal Rumble Role

'The Baddest Woman On The Planet' had an electrifying 15 months in WWE, and it all kicked off right as the Royal Rumble looked to be going off the air.

Walking out to her famed Joan Jett theme, Rousey invited herself into Asuka's celebrations as well as the crosshairs of then-titleholders Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Beaming to be there, she repeatedly pointed at the WrestleMania sign before shaking hands with eventual 'Show Of Shows' opponent Stephanie McMahon.

As major moments go, it was about as fun as it was functional, but Ronda later revealed how little she knew about it before going through the curtain.

Speaking to ESPN (and several others) following the show, she said;

"I didn't know what I was doing today until like probably 10 minutes before I came out..."

Based on what we've learned in recent years about Vince McMahon's propensity for hurriedly rewriting Raw just minutes before going live, it was probably worth her getting used to things being a little unpredictable.
