Following her appearance, it was confirmed that Rousey signed a full-time contract with the company, which leaves her future with the UFC up in the air.

It was an historic night for women's wrestling as it marked the first time the WWE hosted an all-female Royal Rumble.

Dublin's Becky Lynch, aka Rebecca Quin, was one of the 30 competitors involved in the contest but unfortunately didn't prevail.
