Ronda took the pin via a controversial roll up to hand Becky Lynch both the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Championship. This was Ronda’s first clean loss in the promotion. She has reportedly taken a break from the company to start a family soon with her husband, Travis Browne.

The WWE streamed ‘WWE 24: The Year of Ronda Rousey’ live on their network on June 4th 2019. In response to the documentary, the baddest women on the planet, took to Instagram to express her gratitude.

Rousey is widely considered to be one of the greatest and most influential female athletes ever. She is the only woman to win a championship in both the UFC and WWE; She is also the only woman to headline a pay-per-view event in both companies.

Ronda was the inaugural female UFC champion when she was named UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion in 2011. Rousey took part in the first women’s fight in UFC history when she successfully defended her title against Liz Carmouche at UFC 157.

She began a career in Professional wrestling in 2018 and won the Raw Women’s Championship, her first WWE and professional wrestling title, at SummerSlam later that year.  In 2018, she became the first female fighter to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.

Archie is a WWE and UFC Editor/Author at the SportsRush. Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
