Rumors of Ronda Rousey joining All Elite Wrestling have gained traction in recent days, but sources indicate that Rousey is not signed to AEW at this time.
As noted, Ronda Rousey’s surprise appearance at AEW Revolution 2026 may be tied to ongoing frustration with TKO Group Holdings over a compensation dispute related to her planned MMA fight with Gina Carano.
While Rousey made a shocking television debut at the event alongside Marina Shafir and came face-to-face with Toni Storm, a new report from Fightful Select clarifies that she is not officially part of All Elite Wrestling at this time. According to the report, Ronda Rousey has not signed a contract with AEW despite her high-profile appearance.
The report also sheds light on the reaction to her debut. Sources indicated that Rousey generated the kind of response AEW was aiming for by presenting her in a heel role. However, it was noted that Rousey herself may have expected a different type of crowd reaction during the segment.
Internally, reactions from WWE and TKO were said to be negative, with individuals reportedly surprised by her involvement in a rival promotion’s event. According to sources cited in the report, there is a belief within those companies that Rousey is currently motivated to distance herself from WWE, UFC, and TKO following the issues surrounding her fight negotiations.
At this stage, there are no confirmed creative plans for Rousey in AEW moving forward. Her appearance at Revolution was also described as convenient logistically, as she was already local to the Los Angeles area at the time of the event.
Looking ahead, Rousey is scheduled to return to MMA competition on May 16, 2026, when she faces Gina Carano under the Most Valuable Promotions banner. That commitment could play a role in determining her availability for any future appearances in professional wrestling.
For now, despite the buzz created by her AEW debut, Rousey’s long-term status with the company remains uncertain.

MVP was clear that the Hurt Syndicate is open to growing in AEW, despite one failed recent attempt at expansion in 2025.
“We are currently discussing adding a new member,” he said. “We tried it with MJF, it didn’t go well because he just didn’t make the cut, he wasn’t good enough, he doesn’t have the drive, he doesn’t have the internal capability for true violence, he’s a huckster … So that kind of soured us for a little bit about trying to add somebody new, but we think we do need a little youthfulness, we need a youthful spark, so it could be about time to add a new member.”
When asked about AEW World Champion MJF’s recent display of violence at Revolution in his match with “Hangman” Adam Page, MVP was largely dismissive.
“These are my weapons right here,” he said, holding up his fists. “I could do more damage with these than MJF could do with a syringe … Beat somebody up, I dare you. Beat somebody up! Get that same kind of reaction inflicting extreme violence on someone without weapons. Bobby Lashley can do it, Shelton Benjamin can do it, and I can do it … At the end of the day, I like to see people go out there with their physical talents and abilities and impose their will on an opponent. I don’t need a cinderblock or a syringe to do it.”
Former World’s Strongest Man, Eddie Hall, has said he is looking to return to MMA for his second fight in the summer.
The 2017 World’s Strongest Man winner has spent his post-Strongman career exploring different competitive and combat sports, arm wrestling Brian Shaw to defeat in 2024 and losing a boxing fight against fellow former World’s Strongest Man and The Mountain from “Game of Thrones,” Thor Bjornsson, in 2022.
He made his first foray into MMA with an unofficial Two-on-One spectacle against influencers Jamil and Jamel Neffati, knocking them both out to win, in 2024. And then last year he made his professional MMA debut against Mariusz Pudzianowski in Polish MMA promotion KSW, winning via ground-and-pound KO within the first 30 seconds of the bout.
Now he says that he is shaping to return to the cage later this year, hoping to have a big-name fight in June and then once more before the end of the year.
“I’ve got a big fight lined up later in the year, which I can’t say just yet,” Hall told “Duelbits” (via “Bloody Elbow”). “But keep your eyes peeled. I’m hoping to have a big-name fight in June and then again before the end of the year.”
Hall named Dillon Danis as a potential opponent, specifically for his controversial nature in the sport.
“I really want to fight Dillon Danis, he’s got to be the most hated guy in MMA. I can’t believe how arrogant he is. He says that he seriously thinks he can take me, but he’s deluded. Danis is definitely running scared. If he wasn’t, then he would’ve signed a contract to fight me by now.”
Danis has a 3-0 record in MMA, fighting for Bellator and Misfits, and lost a boxing exhibition to Logan Paul after getting disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct. He is due to wrestle former UFC Interim Welterweight Champion Colby Covington at RAF 07 later this month.
