UFC fighter-turned-pro wrestler Ronda Rousey can have burned the bridge between herself and WWE, but she hasn’t stepped away entirely from pro wrestling, each competing in Ring of Honor and making an appearance at AEW Revolution 2026. During a recent media call ahead of AEW Double Or Nothing 2026, Tony Khan addressed Rousey’s appearance at Revolution and whether she’ll appear within the promotion anytime soon.
“Ronda Rousey is an incredible fighter and she or he is someone that’s at all times welcomed in AEW,” Khan stated. “I enjoyed working with Ronda in ROH, and I loved having her at AEW Revolution, and any time Ronda wants to come back back to AEW, she is at all times welcomed.” Khan then cited that Rousey is currently focused on her family, but claimed that he would like to have her within the promotion again soon as he considers her considered one of the greats.
It appears like there aren’t any imminent plans to make use of Rousey in AEW, despite her teasing something with Toni Storm. Still, Rousey has had only good things to say about AEW. Rousey previously praised AEW’s non-PG rated shows, claiming it gave her a way of freedom she never had in WWE. Following this, she even added that she felt like she was at all times playing someone’s impression of her in WWE, claiming that the creative control was that intense. At the identical time, she clarified that while she’s bashed WWE in recent times, her predominant issues were at all times with Vince McMahon’s creative direction and that she otherwise enjoyed her run with the promotion.
