Ronda Rousey is back, and she didn't come alone.
On the May 15 episode of WWE Raw, Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan were scheduled to defend the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship against Chelsea Greem and Sonya Deville. Before the bout, WWE official Adam Pearce confirmed that Morgan had suffered an injury, so the title match was postponed. Rodriguez then faced Green in a singles match and picked up a dominant victory.
After the bell, Rousey and Baszler blindsided Rodriguez by attacking her from behind. Rousey grabbed Rodriguez by the hair and told her she's supposed to defend the titles. She said that Rodriguez would put the titles on the line, with or without Morgan, or she would catch the same beating every week. Baszler then blasted Rodriguez with a brutal knee that left her down and out.

Rousey and Baszler had been absent since WWE WrestleMania 39, where they won the Women's WrestleMania Showcase four-way tag team match. Rousey hasn't wrestled since, but Baszler has competed at two WWE live events in the weeks following the show. Most recently, she faced Natalya at the Sunday Stunner event on April 23.
