Emma, AKA Tenille Dashwood, made her WWE return tonight, answering Ronda Rousey’s open challenge for a SmackDown Women’s Championship shot.
Rousey defeated her with an armbar submission.
She appears to be back full time. In an interview posted to WWE’s social media, Emma said that she “waited five years to make sure I’m never forgotten again” and “Now I know exactly what I have to do to be champion.”
Dashwood finished with Impact in August when her contract expired.
She first signed with WWE in 2011 and was released in 2017.
