Ronda Rousey delivered one of the biggest surprises of AEW Revolution 2026 when she appeared during the show, and now Tony Khan has explained how the moment came together. Rousey appeared at Crypto.com Arena on March 15 shortly after Toni Storm defeated Marina Shafir. Storm was celebrating her victory when Rousey suddenly entered the ring and confronted her face-to-face before security rushed in to separate them. The segment escalated further when Shafir blindsided Storm from behind, dropping the AEW Womens Champion before leaving through the crowd alongside Rousey while fans reacted loudly inside the arena. Khan addressed the moment during the Revolution post-show media scrum when asked about Rouseys involvement. He explained that the appearance came from Rouseys friendship with Shafir and that she was brought in as backup since everyone had been banned from ringside during the match. Khan also mentioned that AEW maintains a positive relationship with Rousey and made it clear she is always welcome in the promotion. He added another interesting detail during the scrum, revealing that Rousey has invited AEW talent to attend her upcoming mixed martial arts return fight. Rousey is currently preparing for her MMA return against Gina Carano in May 2026 under Jake Pauls MVP promotion. The fight is expected to stream on Netflix. With Khan confirming AEWs relationship with Rousey and the possibility of AEW talent attending her fight, the crossover between the former UFC champion and the wrestling promotion may continue beyond her surprise Revolution appearance.
