The night wasn’t over. Last weekend, WWE presented its annual Royal Rumble event as the Road To WrestleMania 38 began. The event featured the show’s two namesake matches, which decided two of the major title matches at WrestleMania. The women’s edition featured a special surprise with Ronda Rousey making her return to the ring. Now, she is making up for lost time.

As revealed on Twitter, Rousey was in action after this week’s edition of SmackDown went off the air. Rousey teamed with Naomi in a tag match against Charlotte and Natalya, with Rousey defeating Natalya via submission in about ninety seconds. Neither Naomi nor Charlotte ever tagged into the match. Rousey had been on the show to announce that she would challenge Charlotte for the SmackDown Women’s Title at WrestleMania.

Opinion: This is one of those things that needs to happen as Rousey is going to require some ring time. She hasn’t been active in the ring for several years now and had only been a regular wrestler for about a year in the first place. A minute and a half isn’t much of a match but at least she got in the ring and could get a bit of timing down. This is what she is going to need to do, or the match at WrestleMania is going to need a lot of smoke and mirrors.

What do you think of Rousey? How will her match with Charlotte go? Let us know in the comments below.
