The last time WWE fans saw Ronda Ronda was when she lost her Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania 35 in 2019 to Becky Lynch in a triple threat match with Charlotte Flair.

Since then, Rousey has gone on to welcome her first child with husband Travis Browne, a daughter named La'akea Makalapuaokalanipō.

But with WrestleMania right around the corner, it is being reported that Rousey is set to make a big return to WWE, very, very soon.

A report by Fightful Select stated that there have been talks within WWE about having Rousey return at the Royal Rumble on Saturday (January 29). Rousey could either make an appearance on the show or be a surprise entrant in the Women's Royal Rumble match.

Then on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said he was told that Rousey vs Becky Lynch for the Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania 38 was under "heavy consideration".

Lynch herself even appeared to address the rumours on Twitter, posting a photo of herself holding the Raw Women's Championship and writing: "Was wondering if you'd show up again. I've still got her and she’s doing great."

Last October, Lynch was asked if she thought a match between her and Rousey would happen again while appearing on the Out of Character podcast.

"Yeah, and I do think it will," she said. "The fact that I've had a baby and came back so great that she'll probably want to one-up me and she'll try to come back in three months.

"Then I'll be right there to punch her right in the face, give her a Rock Bottom, out of here in 20 seconds, Ronda."
