Why is "Rowdy" Ronda There?
Ronda Rousey is reportedly backstage at AEWÂ Collision. That's the story coming from WrestleVotes, which recently posted the following on X:
"Rowdy" Ronda just wrestled at the Wrestling Revolver Unreal even on Thursday 17 November. Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online's Bryan Rose reported:
Teaming with Marina Shafir, she faced off against AEW’s Athena and Billie Starkz in the main event. At one point during the match, Rousey took a suplex from Starkz and landed on her head, but continued the match anyway. The finish of the match had Athena attack Rousey with the ROH Women’s Championship, ending the match in a no contest. The show ended with Rousey thanking everyone for their support.

There has been speculation whether Ronda is headed to AEWÂ or whether she was just teaming up with her friend Marina for another match.
If Ronda Rousey is at Collision, there are many reasons why she decided to show up:
-Collision is being held at the KIA Forum in Los Angeles, which isn't far from where Rousey lives. She may be there to visit with AEW's stars.
-AEW is bringing Rousey in for a one-night appearance to help it compete against SmackDown. Collision, which normally airs on Saturdays, was moved to Friday since AEW Full Gear is taking place on Saturday.
-AEW is signing Rousey to a deal and wants to announce it tonight. If so, who will AEW announce at Full Gear as it's promised to unveil a big signing.
There are other possibilities but these seem to stand out as the most likely. If this story is accurate, what do you think Rousey is doing at Collision?
