Ronda Rousey Makes Surprise Appearance at AEW Revolution

Ronda Rousey made a surprise appearance during AEW Revolution on Sunday night, confronting Toni Storm moments after Storm’s victory earlier in the show.

Storm had just picked up a hard-fought win over Marina Shafir and was celebrating on the entrance ramp while the crowd applauded her performance. As Storm acknowledged the fans, the atmosphere quickly shifted when Rousey suddenly appeared and entered the ring.

Rousey then called Storm out and challenged her to come down to the ring. Storm reacted with a smirk, signaling that she was ready for the confrontation. She turned around and confidently walked back toward the ring to meet Rousey face-to-face.

Before the two could get physical, security rushed down to the ring and separated them. During the commotion, Storm was backed into the corner, creating an opening for Shafir to strike from behind. Shafir delivered a cheap shot to Storm, which drew a visible reaction from Rousey, who appeared pleased with the outcome.

Commentary also noted that Rousey is scheduled to return to mixed martial arts soon. She is set to face Gina Carano in an MMA bout at the Intuit Dome on May 16.

The appearance at AEW Revolution marked Rousey’s first pro wrestling-related appearance in more than two years. Her most recent match before that came at a Ring of Honor television taping on November 17, 2023, where she and Shafir defeated Athena and Billie Starkz.

In September 2025, Rousey publicly stated that she believed her time in professional wrestling had come to an end. She explained at the time that much of her motivation to remain in WWE came from teaming with Shayna Baszler. Baszler also ended up being her final WWE opponent at SummerSlam 2023.

Despite Rousey’s comments about leaving wrestling behind, Baszler later told Chris Van Vliet during an interview in December that she believed Rousey would never be completely finished with the industry.

Based on her surprise appearance at AEW Revolution, Rousey clearly still has a connection to the pro wrestling world, even if this moment turns out to be a one-off appearance for now.

Adam Copeland And Christian Cage Return At AEW Revolution To Attack FTR

Adam Copeland And Christian Cage Return At AEW Revolution To Attack FTR

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage made their long-awaited return to All Elite Wrestling during AEW Revolution, and they immediately targeted the reigning tag team champions.

The moment took place after FTR successfully defended the AEW World Tag Team Championship against The Young Bucks in the opening match of the pay-per-view. The bout was a physical and bloody encounter, and FTR celebrated in the ring after retaining their titles.

The celebration did not last long. The arena lights suddenly went out, and the word “Evenge” appeared on the entrance screens. Moments later, a block “R” appeared, completing the word “Revenge” as Copeland walked onto the stage and made his way toward the ring.

While Copeland was approaching, Christian quietly entered the ring from behind and attacked Dax Harwood with a Killswitch. Copeland then rushed into the ring and delivered a spear to Cash Wheeler.

Stokely Hathaway was left alone in the ring during the chaos. Attempting to avoid further damage, he offered Christian a handshake as a peace gesture. The moment did not work in his favor, as Christian responded by hitting him with a Killswitch as well.

Hathaway was then thrown out of the ring, leaving Copeland and Christian standing tall. The two veterans picked up the AEW Tag Team Championships and raised them in the air as the crowd responded with loud chants.

Shortly afterward, The Young Bucks returned to the ring and came face-to-face with Copeland and Christian in the center. The two teams briefly stared each other down before Copeland and Christian placed the championship belts on the mat and exited the ring.

Meanwhile, FTR slowly recovered and retreated toward the stage. Hathaway followed them, with a crew member helping carry him backstage after the attack.

Copeland and Christian had not appeared on AEW programming since September 2025. Their last appearance came at AEW All Out, where they teamed together to defeat FTR.

That victory celebration quickly turned into a shocking moment when FTR attacked Copeland’s wife, Beth Copeland, while Copeland was handcuffed to the ropes. Following that incident, Copeland stepped away from AEW television and told Christian that he needed to return home to take care of his family.

Their return at AEW Revolution appears to signal that the rivalry with FTR is far from over.

WWE’s Chelsea Green Discusses Origins Of ‘Secret Hervice’ & Possible New Recruits

Former Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green is a fan-favorite on the “WWE SmackDown” roster, and she’s elevated both Piper Niven and Alba Fyre alongside her successful comedy gimmick as her “Secret Hervice.” As WWE speeds toward WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Green recently spoke with the “Beyond the Bell” podcast about the origins of her faction, and how proud of it she is.

“We came up with it ourselves,” Green boasted about the stable’s name. “I’ve always thought a pun was hilarious and if we’re going comedy, we are going comedy. We are slaygents. We are direct-hers. We are Secret Hervice. We are all of it.”

Green is currently not wrestling herself due to a broken ankle, but she’s still gracing the blue brand with her presence, and Fyre is fighting in her honor. Niven also remains on the shelf with a reported career-threatening neck injury. After giving their best to Niven, the “Beyond the Bell” hosts asked Green who else she would include in the stable, and she had an immediate answer as to who she’d want as new bodyguards.

“Zoey [Stark] and Jordynne [Grace],” Green said without hesitation. “And they need to be sleeveless. That’s right, they need to be sleeveless… Look at them. They’re genetically superior. They are the best athletes. They’ve got the best humor that nobody sees, I’m telling you. We see it online with Jordynne, but you guys don’t know, Zoey is the best.”

Darby Allin, Orange Cassidy & Roderick Strong Manhandle The Dogs At AEW Revolution

Roderick Strong, Orange Cassidy, and Darby Allin beat the Dogs, David Finlay, Gabe Kidd, and Clark Connors in Tornado Trios action at AEW Revolution. 

Connors speared Allin off of the apron through the middle rope, with Allin then being launched by Kidd and Finlay via a Doomsday Device for the near-fall. Kidd then tied Allin to the corner by the tag rope, allowing all three of them to get their offense in on him in the corner. 

Cassidy and Strong fought the three of them out of the ring, cutting Allin free and allowing him to move and deliver a dive to take them out on the outside. Strong locked in a Boston Crab on Connors, Cassidy locked in a rear choke on Finlay, and Allin got the sharpshooter in on Kidd until Finlay carried Cassidy and broke up the other holds. 

Cassidy caught Connors with the Stundog Millionaire, going for the Orange Punch but getting speared in half. Allin and Kidd fought on the ramp, with Allin hitting a skateboard-assisted stomp onto the back of Kidd’s head. 

Back in the ring, Allin prevented Finlay from getting the win with a Coffin Drop. Connors got hit with an Orange Punch into an End of Heartache backbreaker for the winning pinfall – as Kidd was shown to be zip-tied to the entrance ramp, unable to help his team. 

Andrade Earns Decisive Victory Over Bandido In AEW Revolution Thriller

Andrade El Idolo was victorious in what many fans called a dream match when he defeated ROH World Champion Bandido at AEW Revolution. The pair faced off for the first time ever and went to war in a high-flying, fast-paced battle.

The men went back-and-forth in the ring until Bandido got Andrade in the ropes, but all “El Idolo” did was hit his pose. Bandido ripped his pants off, Andrade-style, to reveal trunks underneath. As he struggled, Andrade knocked him to the mat.

The match rolled on, and Bandido went for a springboard, but Andrade caught him into a powerbomb. When the battle spilled to the outside, Andrade dropped Bandido across the ring barricade, then removed his own pants to show off his trunks. He went to flirt with a woman at ringside and took as selfie while Bandido remained down. Andrade got his opponent back in the ring and the match slowly slightly as he locked Bandido in a side headlock.

Bandido rallied with a cutter and suplexed Andrade toward the corner, and Andrade’s head almost hit the bottom turnbuckle. Don Callis got up from commentary to check on him, but “El Idolo” was good to continue. Bandido hit him with a shooting star press, and Andrade barely kicked out.

Andrade knocked Bandido to the outside once again and took him out with a moonsault and posed again with another woman. Back in the ring, Bandido hit the X-Knee and looked for the 21-Plex, but Andrade countered with an elbow. Bandido connected with the 21-Plex, but Andrade kicked out, allowing for Bandido to hit the X-Knee again, but Andrade dodged another 21-Plex. Andrade hit the elbow, followed by the DM from the ropes for the victory.
