It’s official: former UFC women’s bantamweight champion has signed a full-time contract with WWE as a full-time professional wrestler! Ronda made the announcement official by making a surprise appearance to close out yesterday’s WWE Royal Rumble after the first-ever women’s Royal Rumble match:

 

 

 

Fans were shocked by her appearance and a lot of people wondered about the over-sized leather jacket she sported:

 

 

 

The jacket Ronda Rousey is wearing at the Royal Rumble was Rowdy Roddy Piper’s jacket. His son gave it to her beforehand. Her connection to Piper goes way back, as she credits him for her interest in wrestling and that she asked “Rowdy” Roddy Piper’s permission to use his nickname as a young girl.

 

 

 

 

But this isn’t a one-shot deal. Ronda Rousey says she’s signed a full time contract with the WWE, explaining: “This is my life now. First priority on my timeline for the next several years. This is not a smash-and-grab; this is not a publicity stunt.”
