During the recent Pro Wrestling Revolver's Unreal event, former WWE Superstar Ronda Rousey made a surprise appearance in a tag team match alongside Marina Shafir, facing off against Athena and Billie Starkz. Adding to the excitement, Rousey also made her debut during the latest set of ROH tapings. However, AEW President Tony Khan has now cleared the air regarding her contract status with All Elite Wrestling.

Speaking at the AEW Full Gear press conference, Khan addressed the speculation surrounding Rousey's potential signing with the company. He confirmed that Ronda Rousey is currently not signed to AEW but expressed his desire to have her back in the future.

"She is not signed, but we had a great conversation," Khan stated. "It came about because there was some unfinished business. They had that match, and I thought it would be great for our fans to settle it in the ring. At the Wrestling REVOLVER show, they had the match, and I had spoken to them, and I thought it would be great to have a match and build some interest."

Khan went on to explain the thought process behind Rousey's appearance in the ROH tapings. "I thought it would be great to see that tag team against two of the Horsewomen, Marina and Ronda Rousey. Ronda was happy to come here, she was great, the crowd was really excited to see her, and it was a great match. We would love to have her back some time," Khan added.

While Rousey's appearance in both Pro Wrestling Revolver and ROH generated significant buzz among fans, Khan emphasized that AEW is not currently in her future plans. However, he did not rule out the possibility of her return down the line, considering the positive reception she received.

"We will have to wait and see what's next in store for Ronda Rousey. She got people talking in a big way after her appearances this week, but AEW doesn't seem to be in her future for the time being," Khan clarified.

As fans continue to speculate about Rousey's wrestling future, opinions are divided on whether AEW should have pursued her signing. The comment section of AEW's social media platforms have been flooded with discussions, with some believing Rousey's star power would be a valuable addition to the roster, while others argue that AEW's focus should be on building and highlighting their existing talent.

Rousey's recent appearances in the wrestling world have certainly reignited excitement among fans who have followed her career inside and outside the WWE. With her status as a local and the positive reception she received, it remains to be seen where Ronda Rousey's next move will take her.
