Ronda Rousey Comments on Her Wrestling Debut in Madison Square Garden

Ronda Rousey made her official wrestling debut at Madison Square Garden during a house show last Saturday. She emerged victorious against Nia Jax in a Guest Referee match with Alexa Bliss and Mickie James as the special guest referees.

In a recent Instagram posting, Rousey reflected on the feelings she had following her wrestling debut at the historic arena.

“There are no words…. thank you New York and MSG for a night I’ll never forget. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cry like a baby at the end of last night… happy tears, but what a whirlwind past few days have been…. I’m humbled, grateful, and far from finished”
