Ronda Rousey has established herself as one of the top names in the combat sports zone. After being a medalist in judo in the Olympics, she found herself in the UFC at the top spot. However, after years of dominating the top spot in the UFC, she left it one day for greener pastures.

However, after returning to Royal Rumble 2022, Rousey has been having a lacklustre second run in WWE. However, with the majority of her recent matches disappointing, and her promo skills not being able to step-up, fans have turned their backs on her.
Her recent pairing with Shayna Baszler has also lost the shine, which fans had expected because of poor mic work from both the women.

Recently, her first match in WWE went viral on Twitter, and fans started reacting to it, stating how much they loved that version of Ronda Rousey.

This is the Ronda that I used to love watch wrestle. Her first WWE run was great but this 2nd one sucks. It's like she no longer cares and makes no one look good in the ring. I don't know how she got this bad

This match was probably one of the most fun I've seen, it was big in making me root for her for a time.

Fans were impressed by the strength that Rousey showcased, and lifted Triple H.
I was in aw just like everyone else not only by her performance overall, but by her sheer strength. Paul is 6'4" & 256 pounds.
