Surprisingly, the WWE universe wasn’t happy with the Baddest Woman on the Planet returning on SmackDown. During her second run as SmackDown Women’s Champion, fans showed their backlash towards the same.

Nevertheless, once again fans took upon Twitter to show their reaction to her return. Since the #FireRondRousey trend on Twitter, fans troll her every time she is on TV. Below are some reactions regarding her latest return.

It seems there wasn’t any joy over The Arm Collector’s return!

Midway through the show, Natalya was in the ring recalling when Baszler broke her nose last year. She happily shared taking away her spot and Elimination Chamber and also called her “knockoff version of Ronda Rousey.”

The Queen of Spades quickly came out and highlighted her accomplishments in NXT and before WWE. She highlighted the fact that she was wrestling before Rousey signed a WWE contract.

While Baszler was speaking, Rousey made her return to confront both the women in the ring. Rousey and Baszler had a staredown and attacked Natalya. Shotzi came to save Natalya, but both former MMA fighters took her down and stood tall.
