Ranking All 29 WWE Returns And Debuts In 2022
6. Ronda Rousey
Ronda Rousey’s first run with WWE was a magical year that
saw the former UFC champion grow by leaps and bounds as a performer, delivering
fantastic matches that were well beyond her level of experience.
Her second run, which began when she won the Royal Rumble as a surprise #30 entrant, has been far less impressive. Rousey has been normalized in this run, having to have “competitive” matches with several superstars, including a feud with Liv Morgan that saw the Money in the Bank winner defeating her for the SmackDown Women’s Championship and then retaining it in controversial fashion.
Rousey doesn’t feel like a must-see attraction in this run, though her heel turn and alignment with real-life friend Shayna Baszler has helped a bit. Plus, she’s still the blue brand’s champion.
Still, there was a time that Rousey would have been top 3 on
this list easily.
