Johannesburg — Mike Tyson punched out the line that he was the “Baddest Man on the Planet” and he was.

And now we have the return of the Baddest Woman on the Planet. Yes, the 34-year-old Ronda Rousey has returned to WWE – and is this year’s women’s Royal Rumble winner.

The last time Rousey was in action, she was pinned by Becky Lynch in a triple-treat match with Flair at WrestleMania 35 in 2019.

He claims to have been kept warm by over a thousand women.

No surprise then that the 72-year-old Rick
