After a January pay-per-view campaign and two and a half months of promotional video packages, former MMA fighter Ronda Rousey made her World Wrestling Entertainment debut April 8 at WrestleMania 34 to a crowd of more than 78,000 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
Rousey appeared on the WWE stage ready to fight, paying tribute to her role model and late WWE hall of fame inductee, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper. She wore a kilt and a leather jacket, just like her idol. Her top, also modeled on Piper’s, was bright white with red seams and “Rowdy” in a flaming comic book font.
