10 Reasons Why January 2018 Was The Best Month In Wrestling History
1. Get Rowdy
She showed remarkable ignorance to not show up for work on the second day of her full-time job, but Ronda Rousey's first day in her new life was every bit the headline-grabber WWE hoped it would be.
A worst-kept-secret so huge it occasionally seemed too bizarre to actually ever happen, the former UFC icon's arrival at the climax of the first ever Women's Royal Rumble was sizeable and shocking without putting a bullet into the company's carefully crafted booking of their historic main event.
Unlike the treatment outsiders, celebrities and returnees such as The Rock have received in recent years, the work-a-day wrestlers weren't made to bend the knee to Rousey, instead looking on in understandable and understated shock as the 'Rowdy' one made her intentions crystal clear with requisite helpings of sign-pointing.
Speculation has began in ernest as to what exactly she'll be up to at the 'Show Of Shows', but it's with a different glow than the usual part-time indulgence. Rousey's giddily dedicated her life and future to the industry in interviews, implying that spare time will most likely be spent at the Performance Center wringing out the inner fangirl in place of a competitive mixed-ability star that looks like she belongs.
