#4 Ronda Rousey surprised Shayna Baszler with her appearance

Even Baszler's best friends didn't know about her cameo!

Ronda Rousey's appearance at the Royal Rumble was a well kept secret. So much so, that red herrings were thrown all over the internet with regard to Rousey filming on location, far away from Philadelphia and the pay-per-view.

When she did show up, all of the internet went absolutely bananas. As did the locker room. Even Shayna Baszler did not know that she would be showing up.

This is what Baszler revealed during an exclusive interview:

I was just as surprised as everyone else, she kept that from all of us. Because, in her own words, she wanted us to feel the genuine excitement that the rest of the world felt. We worked hard to get where we’re at – all of us – so to see her genuinely happy and finally getting to soak in that reward is great.

The NXT superstar is, however, confident about Ronda Rousey's future in the company.

I’ve known Ronda for awhile and everything she decides to do she dives head-first one-hundred percent into. So, I have no doubt she’ll be just as dominant in WWE as she’s been at everything else.

We do not doubt that, Shayna. Ronda Rousey is poised to be a big deal indeed, in the months ahead.

Anyway, we move on!
