However, the fact that Ronda was the front page of WWE.com and ESPN.com with no mention of anything else in the lead stories is what makes me say it was overshadowed. 

The women's Royal Rumble was a big deal, and I think they treated it like a big deal.

But the fact of the matter is, signing Rousey is huge (mainstream) news. So it's hard to see how WWE would let this news come out -- and it was going to come out -- without it making a big splash.

I agree that it is huge news.  I just think it was poor timing to do it THREE MINUTES after your first ever women's royal rumble.  The next night on Raw, after Asuka picked her champion to face would've been just as impactful.
