She took on Triple H and Stephanie McMahon at WrestleMania 34, where she teamed up with Kurt Angle. She was victorious in her very first match in WWE, ushering in a new era of the Women's Evolution.

The heart of the matter

Triple H explained the difference between Rousey and every other celebrity guest in the past:

She had no interest in coming in as a celebrity guest, she was looking to come in and be a WWE superstar. Ronda wants to be great at this; she wants to make this the bigger chapter of her career. She truly believes that everything she has accomplished prior to this was just a lead up to coming where she belongs and that is with the WWE.

Triple H then went on to explain why Rousey will be successful in sports entertainment:

The term 'world class athlete' gets thrown around a lot but the definition of world class athlete is Ronda Rousey. Her mindset is to be one of the best at what we do.

What's next?

Rousey is making sporadic appearances on RAW these days. It's unclear who her next opponent will be. What we do know is that she's in some kind of storyline with Natalya.
