The continued an undefeated streak upon her debut until WrestleMania 35. During this time she won the WWE Raw Women’s Championship as well. She dropped the title to Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 35 and remained out of action for nearly 2 years.
Her ring work had been really praised by the world of professional wrestling on her first WWE run. At Royal Rumble 2022 she made her return to WWE as a participant of the Women’s Royal Rumble match.
She won the Royal Rumble match and challenged Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 38, however, she lost the challenge. But at the very next pay per view event which was WrestleMania Backlash, she defeated Charlotte Flair in an I Quit match to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
Later she dropped the title to Liv Morgan who cashed in her Money in the Bank contract on her. But at the extreme rules pay per view event she regained her title from Liv Morgan and since them she is holding her title pretty strongly. In spite of being on top of everyone, her latest run in WWE has been vastly criticized for a number of reasons. We hope she improves more in the near future.
Zelina Vega who is also the winner of the WWE Queen’s Crown tournament of 2021 recently spoke to the That’s Dope podcast where she talked about the WWE SmackDown Women’s champion Ronda Rousey and praised her. She said that she is a big fan of her. She said;
“I absolutely love Ronda. Here’s the thing, she wasn’t just some bozo off the street who decided to do this on a Tuesday. She was one of the absolute best (in MMA). If she made that career change to go to WWE, that brings in her fans, that mixes our fans with hers, and it’s something people don’t get to see, usually.
“‘I would love to see how she matches up with this person.’ The people who get mad that Ronda is there are the people who are upset that they’re not getting that opportunity. To me, she’s been nothing but sweet, she’s been nothing but respectful, she puts in the work, and she’s a gamer and I love that. She’s super sweet and super cool.
“When it comes to people who are not stoked that she’s there, I give her credit because not only does she get shit from fans of UFC, but she always gets shit from wrestling fans, and she says, ‘Screw it, I’m going to do this and have fun doing it.’ Ultimately, it’s her life and I hate that people get so [angry], ‘I hate that she’s there and shitting on the business.’ Regardless, she is bringing money. Can you?”
