History Creator / RondaRousey

On November 15, 2015, her undefeated UFC streak came to an end at the legs of Holly Holm in what's been called the biggest upset in sports since Buster Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson in 1990. She took a 13-month hiatus from the sport, returning on December 30, 2016 to face then-current champion Amanda Nunes. She lost the fight via TKO in just 48 seconds, all but confirming the end of her MMA glory days.

Ronda Jean Rousey (born February 1, 1987) is an American professional wrestler, mixed martial artist, former Olympic judoka and actress. She was the first [[UsefulNotes/UltimateFightingChampionship UFC]] Women's Bantamweight Champion, as well as the last Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion.

* {{Foil}}: Her champion vs. champion feud with Wrestling/BeckyLynch heading into the 2018 ''Survivor Series'' paints her as this. While both are women who specialize in collecting people's arms, both are lifelong wrestling fans, and both fought their entire lives to become trailblazers for female combat athletes, Ronda was being trained to do so through mixed martial arts by her mother's [[TheSpartanWay stern upbringing in her formative years]], while Becky got to have something of a childhood before leaving home to travel the world and learn wrestling by her own choice even though it displeased her mother. From a character standpoint, Ronda has consistently come off as someone who is humble and respectful and happy to be a part of WWE until someone disrespects her and provokes her dangerous fury, while Becky always maintained a rebellious streak even as an honorable babyface and just recently became increasingly arrogant, bitter, and self-righteous through her issues with Charlotte Flair. For pointers, Ronda considers it insulting that after fighting their entire lives to change the meaning of "fight like a girl", Becky would embrace her position as a leader in the WWE Women's Evolution by calling herself "The Man". Ronda also points out that despite the two being the same age (within two days in fact), Ronda was already more successful than Becky was for over a decade, having already being in the main event at UFC while Becky was still in training at the time (in addition to being forced to retire temporarily) as well as stealing the show at [=WrestleMania=] XXXIV while Becky was only at the pre-show. Heading into their ''[=WrestleMania=]'' feud, both women ultimately hit another breaking point involving WWE's corporate headaches and became a source of frustration for the [=McMahon=] family, leading Wrestling/VinceMcMahon to insert Charlotte Flair into their match. However, while Becky became more a symbol of defiant valor who once more fully embraced the fans' undeniable love for her, bringing her back full circle into a true face, Ronda unleashed in WorkedShoot tirades against the fans who were already booing her and the controlled[[labelnote:read:]]"fake"[[/labelnote]] nature of the business while telling everyone how easily she could break her opponents, fully going back to the trash-talking competitive psychopath of her UFC fame.

* GlassCanon: How she plays in UFC 3. She is not good at dodging shots, and can't take as many of them as the other top tier women in the game - and she is particularly susceptible to head kicks. However, if you don't dodge ''her'' shots you'll be on the ground before she is. As for going to the mat with her, '''don't''' - she has max level armbars from almost every position and brutal ground and pound.

In 2018, Rousey signed with Wrestling/{{WWE}}, making her first appearance at that year's Wrestling/RoyalRumble event, though she previously appeared in Wrestling/WrestleMania 31 in 2015 as a GuestFighter as a hint of her future entrance to WWE. She's 1x RAW Women's Champion.

* BadassBoast: Ronda's WWE character was fairly humble (at least for the first year or so), a far cry from her ultra confident, borderline psychotic swagger in the UFC. Despite that, she's still prone to letting people know how much of a badass she is.

** Ronda has problems with Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon long before she joins WWE. At ''[=WrestleMania=]'' XXXI, Ronda teamed up with The Rock to take on both Stephanie and her husband during a segment. Three years later, both women still have animosity for each other and a match between the two was scheduled at ''[=WrestleMania=]'' XXXIV with Kurt Angle and Triple H as their respective tag team partners
** Following her feud with Stephanie, Ronda sets her eyes on the Raw Women's Championship and challenged Wrestling/NiaJax. Their match however was interfered by Wrestling/AlexaBliss who cashes in her recently won Money in the Bank contract. A few months later, Nia and Ronda faced each other again at ''TLC'', this time their roles were reversed. Proud of the number of injuries she left behind, Nia was confidant that she could defeat Ronda only to be defeated/
** Wrestling/AlexaBliss has problems with Ronda ever since her debut. Calling Ronda a bully for breaking Stephanie's arm, despite her being a bully herself, Alexa would interfere Ronda's championship match against Nia Jax at ''Money in the Bank 2018'' moments before Ronda could win. Furious, Ronda would attacked Alexa the following night only to get suspended for a month. During her absence, Alexa will constantly mocks Ronda. When Ronda returned a month later, she was suspended again for a week for attacking Alexa but was given a title opportunity at ''Wrestling/SummerSlam 2018''. Ronda won the match easily with Alexa failing to put any offense. Alexa would evoke her title clause a month later at ''Wrestling/HellInACell 2018'' and though she put up a fight this time, she still loses.
** After ''Evolution'', Ronda entered a feud with both Wrestling/BeckyLynch and Wrestling/CharlotteFlair. She was initially scheduled to face the former at ''Survivor Series 2018'' and after weeks of bashing each other, Becky would attack Ronda a week before their match. After Becky was pulled out following an injury, Charlotte replaced her and loss the match by DQ after attacking her with a kendo stick. Charlotte proudly declared that she too can beat up Rousey and the latter doesn't take both her beatings easily. At ''TLC'' 2018, Ronda interfered in the main event by pushing the ladder Becky and Charlotte were on, costing Becky her championship. After Becky won the 2019 ''Royal Rumble'', she moved to Raw to challenge Ronda for the Raw Women's Championship at [=WrestleMania=] XXXV, continuing their feud but Charlotte got involved in the feud again.

* GoodIsNotSoft: She's a {{Face}}, happy to be in WWE, and willing to accept that the insults made by the H's were in fact a miscommunication by Wrestling/KurtAngle, but Ronda made it clear to Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon on the RAW after EC 2018 that crossing her, like a slap to the face, won't go unnoticed and demanded an apology or otherwise she'd ''rip Steph's arm out of her socket''; Stephanie wasted no time in stammering out an apology and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere hastily left the ring.]]

* DesignatedGirlFight: Averted during her WWE career. In her debut feud against Wrestling/TripleH and Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon, she spent nearly as much time fighting Triple H as she did fighting Stephanie, and often got the better of The Game with her martial arts prowess. She's also beaten down all-male security teams, has roughed up Wrestling/KurtAngle and Wrestling/BaronCorbin with her bare hands, and even challenged the latter to a one-on-one match on the Nov. 19, 2018 episode of ''[[Wrestling/MondayNightRaw Raw]]''.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: At one point during the buildup to their ''Wrestling/WrestleMania'' tag match, Ronda asked Steph which hand she uses to write, so that she'd know which one to rip off while still allowing {{Wrestling/Stephanie|McMahon}} to sign her paycheck (Stephanie's a righty). Sure enough, come ''[=WrestleMania 34=]'', Rousey made her tap out by breaking her left arm.

* BerserkButton: Does ''NOT'' like being slapped or being declared someone's "property"; Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon hammered both buttons on back-to-back nights at ''Elimination Chamber'' and ''RAW''.
* BoringButPractical: In the WWE, where female wrestlers regularly wear extravagant and brightly-colored outfits, Ronda usually tends to essentially wear regular, everyday street clothes.

* ShoutOut: In her brief appearance in 2018 Wrestling/RoyalRumble, she was dressed as Wrestling/RoddyPiper, with the black leather jacket and a white/red t-shirt with the modified phrase "Hot Ronda" on it instead of the classic "Hot Rod." If Ronda uses Rowdy's motto in WWE, she will revive a historical [[TheGimmick gimmick]] to the new generation, similar to Wrestling/RicFlair's daughter Wrestling/CharlotteFlair having his.
