Ronda Rousey stuns with debut performance at Wrestlemania 34
Ronda Rousey sparked her professional wrestling career with a dream debut at Wrestlemania 34 on Sunday night.
The former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion and Olympic Bronze medallist teamed up with wrestling great Kurt Angle in a tag-team bout against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon that had the crowd at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans in raptures.
Rousey’s performance had pundits and fans alike singing her praises as she lit up the ring with a barrage of acrobatic manoeuvres that exhibited high levels of timing and coordination, an integral component of professional wrestling.
After unleashing a flurry of MMA like strikes on Triple H, Rousey turned her attentions to McMahon, finishing the fight with an arm-bar that harked back to her days in the octagon.
Fans rushed to social media after the fight to shower their new star in adoration with even a proud Dana White standing in applause of his former UFC champion.
A noticeably elated Rousey shared an emotional embrace with Angle at centre ring, a far different scene from her turbulent downfall from the UFC after comprehensive loses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes.
