Before her venture into family life and professional wrestling, Rousey was a dominant force in mixed martial arts. She holds the distinction of being the UFC’s first women’s bantamweight champion and has an impressive background in judo, including a bronze medal win at the 2008 Olympics, according to TMZ. Rousey’s transition into the WWE began in Jan. 2018, which continued until 2023.
