Ronda Rousey comments on her first match since August.
Rousey competed in a tag team match on the first night of Lucha VaVoom’s two-night Area 51 event in Los Angeles. Rousey teamed with Marina Shafir against Taya Valkyrie and Brian Kendrick on Thursday night.
Ronda Rousey commented on her return to the ring (and shared match footage) on Instagram:
“@luchavavoom was honestly the best Lucha/burlesque hybrid show I’ve ever had the pleasure of jumping into unannounced. Anyone who doubted me and @marinashafir could make magic in a ring is an idiot – thank you @thetayavalkyrie and @mr.briankendrick for being down to get down with us,” Rousey wrote.
Lucha VaVoom teased a surprise appearance earlier in the night. The promotion noted that “you’ll be kicking yourself tomorrow” for missing the match.
This is Ronda Rousey’s first wrestling match since she competed in an MMA Rules match with Shayna Baszler at WWE SummerSlam on August 5. In addition, this is also her first-ever pro wrestling match outside of WWE.
