“It’s not like I’m trying to reenact an MMA character, for example. It’s not like some people are like, ‘Oh, she’s just trying to be like Ronda Rousey.’ It’s like, no, I love Ronda, and I think Ronda did really cool work in WWE, but I feel like my character is still evolving and growing,” she said.

Ronda Rousey returned to the world of MMA in May and defeated Gina Carano in a bout for Most Valuable Promotions on Netflix. The legend also made a surprise appearance at AEW Revolution earlier this year.

Ronda Rousey reveals why she prefers AEW to WWE

Ronda Rousey shared why she enjoyed All Elite Wrestling more than WWE following her appearance at Revolution 2026.

Speaking with Complex, Rousey noted that she asked Marina Shafir if she could be on the show to help promote her MMA bout. The 39-year-old shared that she preferred AEW because it wasn’t PG, and she was free to do what she wanted.

“I asked Marina, ‘Hey, is AEW going to be in town while I’m promoting this fight? Because I’d love to do, like, a run-in or something and help you out.’ One thing I really love about AEW is that it’s not PG like WWE. So I can walk in there and flick everybody off and walk out and laugh with my best friend and have a great time, and I didn’t feel as edited as before. So it was a good time.” [H/T- @TheDrainmaker on X]

It will be fascinating to see what the company has planned for Natalya’s character moving forward.
