10 Things Wrestling Fans Fully Expected To Happen In 2020 (That Still Haven't)
8. Ronda Returns
Ronda Rousey's first run in WWE was objectively a success. From a critically-acclaimed debut match at WrestleMania all the way to the main event just a year later, 'Rowdy' Ronda was the main driving force behind a true revolution in women's wrestling, where the female stars of WWE ascended to the very peak of the industry. Without Rousey's crossover appeal and mainstream popularity, not to mention her incredible ability and pro wrestling aptitude, that might not have happened.
Rousey left WWE following that defeat at WrestleMania 35, her only loss during that famous run. While nobody expected that hiatus to be brief, there was a general assumption that the former RAW Women's Champion would be back at some point in 2020, maybe even to take on Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 36. Not only did that match not happen, but Rousey is yet to return to the wacky world of WWE.
In truth, her return is unlikely to happen until crowds are back. Rousey is arguably the biggest name available to the company and her appearances should be kept to a minimum for maximum effect, and a hastily thrown together match in the ThunderDome ain't that. Many thought Rousey would be back in 2020, but the calamitous events of the year made that practically impossible.
