The Ring of Honor show Rousey was in was taped after All Elite Wrestling's "Rampage" show, as the company has its pay-per-view, Full Gear, taking place Saturday in Los Angeles.
With Ring of Honor also owned by AEW owner Tony Kahn, wrestling fans have speculated if this means she will soon be the next star on the AEW roster.

Rousey last appeared for WWE in August after losing to Shayna Baszler in an MMA rules match at SummerSlam. After the loss, she said in an Instagram post that Baszler was "the reason I got into this business" and she now had "no reason to stay," hinting that her wrestling career was over. The 36-year-old's contract with WWE then ended.
