Potential update on Ronda Rousey's WWE return from suspension after SummerSlam controversy
WWE recently confirmed that Ronda Rousey has been fined an undisclosed amount and suspended for her actions at SummerSlam 2022.
The former SmackDown Women's Champion challenged Liv Morgan in a rematch, hoping to reclaim her gold at SummerSlam. However, she couldn't dethrone this year's Ms. Money in the Bank after their match ended controversially.
Ronda Rousey had Liv Morgan locked in an armbar, but the latter was in a half-standing position. Rousey's shoulders were pinned to the mat, which prompted the match official to begin his three-count. However, he didn't see Morgan tapping out as her hand was near Rousey's feet which were up in the air.

As a result, Liv Morgan successfully retained her SmackDown Women's Championship via pinfall victory. Ronda Rousey was frustrated with the result, and she snapped soon after. First, the Baddest Woman on the Planet attacked the champion. She followed it up by attacking the WWE official whom she blamed for her loss.
Although Rousey has been indefinitely suspended for her actions, the latest reports claim that she will return sooner than fans expect. Dave Meltzer recently stated on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Ronda Rousey was advertised for Clash at the Castle. Hence, she is expected to return over the next four weeks.
"Not that long. She's booked on the Cardiff show, so she's going to be unsuspended at least before (that). I don't know when she comes back, she'll be out for I don't know how long, but it's not going to be a month, put it that way, because she's got to be back for the pay-per-view show," said Meltzer.
