Ronda Rousey appearance confirmed for WWE Extreme Rules
Despite being suspended for 30 days in storyline, it looks like Ronda Rousey will be making an on-camera appearance at Extreme Rules after all.
WWE posted video of a brief sit-down interview with Rousey today where Rousey said she’d be in attendance for Alexa Bliss’ Raw Women’s Championship defense against Nia Jax at the pay-per-view. “Even though I’m suspended from Raw, I’m not suspended from Extreme Rules,” Rousey said. “So, I’m going to be buying a ticket. It’s going to be a front row ticket.”
Rousey’s storyline suspension began on the June 18 episode of Raw following an angle where she went on a rampage, attacking Bliss, Kurt Angle, and referees. The attack was revenge for Bliss cashing in her briefcase during Jax vs. Rousey at Money in the Bank and then mocking Rousey on Raw.
Rousey will also be in action at this weekend’s house shows in Philadelphia, New York City (Madison Square Garden), and Bridgeport.
Extreme Rules is taking place at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh on July 15.
