Ronda Rousey made her return to the WWE as a babyface during the 2022 Royal Rumble match and she ended up winning the melee. This earned her a championship match at Wrestlemania 39 as she could continue with the same TV character for a long time, especially throughout her feud against Charlotte Flair.
Following the title win from The Queen, the state of Ronda Rousey’s in-ring character became stale as WWE decided to shake things up for her by handing the championship to Liv Morgan. Under the new creative leadership of Triple H, she is currently walking down the thin line between babyface and heel which is interesting.

Ronda Rousey was asked about her thoughts on Brock Lesnar and in response, she revealed that he’s a fantastic person. At one point, she was shocked by the smartness of the dominant physical specimen that Lesnar is,
“I think he’s fantastic. I think he’s awesome … We kind of didn’t cross paths in MMA, he was kind of before my time a little bit but since coming to WWE, he’s been the absolute coolest. He’s super smart, I never would’ve guessed. In MMA I always just kind of assume, you know, fighters are all of a certain … They’re not the scholarly types, the most of them.” (quotes courtesy Wrestling INC)
