10 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble 2018 Facts
6. Ronda's Jacket Belonged To Roddy Piper
The 2018 Royal Rumble PPV famously closed out with Ronda Rousey making her formal WWE debut. And even though it was Rowdy Ronda's WWE bow, she was still clearly extremely well versed on the company's fabled 'point at the sign' trope as WrestleMania season starts to gear up.
After Asuka had won the first ever women's Royal Rumble, Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss and SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair entered the ring as the Empress of Tomorrow was posed with the question of which champion she wanted to face at WrestleMania 34.
Before the inaugural women's Rumble winner could make a decision, Rousey turned up to stir the part.
While many will be aware that the jacket of the Rowdy One was in the same style as her idol Roddy Piper, what some may not know is that this jacket actually used to belong to Piper before he passed away in 2015.
Roddy's son Colton had lent this famed jacket to Ronda for her WWE debut and for certain other appearances during the UFC legend's WWE run. And much like Roddy Piper, Ronda Rousey was near-enough unbeatable in a wrestling ring - with her only loss coming at WrestleMania 35.
