Ronda Rousey finally returned to WWE at the 2022 Royal Rumble. Following weeks of speculation from fans, Rousey made her first appearance since her WrestleMania 35 loss to Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.
Rousey's excellent martial arts background helped her transition into the wrestling world in a very short time. She is one of many MMA athletes like Riddle and Shayna Baszler who have made the change successfully.
Given her short run with the company last time, quite a few dream matches are waiting for her. With so many new stars, the next few months of Rousey's time with WWE could prove to be very interesting.

#5. WWE's Emperess of Tomorrow- Asuka
Ronda Rousey and Asuka are two of the most talented female superstars in the promotion. Both of these wrestlers have unique styles and can deliver good matches.
Both these superstars have similar careers in lots of ways. The Baddest Woman on the Planet and the Empress of Tomorrow made their individual noteworthy undefeated streaks during their WWE run.
Asuka had one of the most impressive undefeated streaks in the company. She had been undefeated for over two and a half years combining her NXT and main roster run.
After her move to the main roster, Charlotte Flair ended Asuka's undefeated reign of 914 days at WrestleMania 34.
Rousey had also been undefeated in singles competition since her debut at WrestleMania 34. She faced her first loss at WrestleMania 35 after getting pinned by Becky Lynch.
During her RAW Women's Championship reign, she surpassed the record for the longest-reigning RAW Women's Champion. But Ronda's record was broken by Becky Lynch a few months later.
Rousey's mixed martial arts wrestling against Asuka's stiff style wrestling would create a magical combination.
#4. WWE's Four Horsewomen vs. MMA's Four Horsewomen
For many years, fans have been speculating about the dream match between WWE's Four Horsewomen and MMA's Four Horsewomen.
Superstars in WWE's squad include Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, Bayley, and Becky Lynch, and MMA's squad includes Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke, and Marina Shafir, respectively.
Both these teams have been on top of their professions for many years.
Following the arrival of Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey in WWE, fans were expecting this match to happen. The company has frequently teased their match but never booked one.
WWE's Four Horsewomen vs. MMA's Four Horsewomen is a WrestleMania-worthy match with years of build-up to it.
#3. Rhea Ripley could be a feasible feud for Rousey
After WrestleMania 35, Ronda Rousey went on a hiatus after dropping the title to Becky Lynch. The women's division felt feeble in 2018 after Ronda's departure as she was carrying the women's division for a year.
In 2019, Rhea Ripley emerged as a new star in WWE's NXT. She was pushed to the moon by the promotion and scored major victories in NXT as well as the main roster. She managed to win the WarGames match and the NXT Championship.
The Nightmare is currently a top star on RAW. Now that Ronda has returned to WWE, it will be great to see these superstars lock horns. The heel persona of the former UFC Champion would be perfect for this feud as both superstars would take each other to their limits.
#2. Battle of the former Mixed Martial Artists in WWE
Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey have both been mixed martial artists in the past. When Ronda Rousey arrived in the company's main roster, Shayna Baszler was in the NXT brand as a champion.
Currently, both of these superstars are present on the main roster. So it is inevitable for the Baddest Woman on the Planet and Queen of Spades will confront each other.
The contest between Baszler and Rousey will be a battle of submission moves. Shayna will look to get Rousey to tap into her Kirifuda Clutch, whereas Ronda will apply her destructive Armbar hold.
It will be exciting to see who taps out to whose submission moves.
#1. Ronda Rousey and The Rock vs. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon
During WrestleMania 31, fans witnessed a huge dream face-off that took place with Rock and Ronda Rousey against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.
It seemed like these superstars would have a match in the near future, but that didn't happen. Since 2015, the company has never acknowledged this dream match again.
Fans have been eagerly waiting for this dream match for years. It will be known as one of the greatest mixed tag team matches in the company's history.
