Ronda Rousey’s AEW Return Hopes Get an Interesting New Twist

Marina Shafir has refused to rule out the possibility of Ronda Rousey returning to AEW and potentially joining the Death Riders. Speaking to TheSportster, Shafir suggested that unexpected developments remain possible, emphasising her appreciation for surprises in professional wrestling. Rousey previously made a surprise appearance at AEW Revolution 2026 to support Shafir, and AEW President Tony Khan later expressed interest in having her compete for the promotion.

However, Rousey later said she was reluctant to commit to a regular wrestling schedule, citing the demands of travel. Although no plans for Rousey’s return have been confirmed, Shafir’s comments have kept speculation about a potential AEW comeback alive.

WWE Crown Jewel May Have Been WWE’s Least-Watched Premium Live Event Of 2026

WWE Crown Jewel 2026 may have been the company’s least-watched premium live event of the year, according to Dave Meltzer. Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer estimated that the November 7 event attracted approximately 1.2 million to 1.3 million views, compared to the roughly two million typically recorded for WWE’s premium live events.

He also reported significantly lower online interest, with Crown Jewel generating around 57,000 Google searches compared to approximately 200,000 for most WWE events. Meltzer suggested that the Crown Jewel Championships have failed to attract significant audience interest, contributing to the disappointing numbers. WWE has not officially released viewership figures for the event.

Major Update On Lei Ying Lee’s TNA Status

Former TNA Knockouts World Champion Lei Ying Lee has reportedly become a free agent after her contract with the promotion expired.
