Ronda Rousey says her AEW Revolution appearance was “a cool little bit of a ‘f*ck you’ to TKO”
In a video published to her YouTube channel, Ronda Rousey commented on her surprise appearance at the 2026 AEW Revolution PPV event…
“It’s a little bit weird, but also familiar—but also, it’s like AEW, so it’s nice. It’s a little more laid-back.
This is actually my first full-on AEW show, because I had only done Ring of Honor before. I think I had been at shows, but never really performed on them. And Ring of Honor was kind of pre-taped with a smaller crowd.
So I’ve never been to an AEW pay-per-view, so I don’t really know what to expect, but I’m thinking it’s a less restrictive, more adult version of WWE—which sounds like a good time. [laughter]
Those are all very good descriptions, I feel.
And it’s kind of a cool little bit of a ‘f*ck you’ to TKO [WWE parent company], which is kind of funny, because WWE is on Netflix. But I figured it’d be easier to ask for forgiveness instead of permission on this one. [laughter]
Like, I’m promoting your show—it’s fine. We didn’t advertise it, it’s not like we boosted the ratings, so it should be fine.”
