In an update on former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey making a surprise appearance at the conclusion of last night’s WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view, while there was speculation that Ronda would be appearing in some fashion last night, it came as a massive shock to the locker room and production team when she appeared as she was not listed on any of the production sheets and was hidden backstage throughout the show, with no one under the impression that she was there outside of Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Triple H and Kevin Dunn.

Ronda was not seen by everyone backstage until around 20 seconds before she entered the production truck and caused a big reaction even there before she went out through the curtain. The jacket that Rousey wore last night was actually Roddy Piper’s signature jacket, gifted to her for the appearance by Piper’s son Colton, who was flown in from Las Vegas especially for the appearance.

For those wondering, there are no plans set in stone as to what Rousey’s first match in the company will be, despite the fact that WWE teased Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey at last night’s event. There has been some discussion that Rousey will tie up her feud with Stephanie McMahon and Triple H before moving on to other feuds.
