This is worded somewhat confusingly, so to be clear: there has to be a combat in progress to allow a player to use Wandering Monster, and you can't play Wandering Monster with a bunch of monsters all at once; it's one monster per WM card.

What Enzzo means is that there are ways you can dismiss the only monster in a fight (Charm Spell, Magic Lamp, Pollymorph Potion, etc.) without actually ending the fight right then, and in those cases someone could add a Wandering Monster to keep the fight going. You can't force someone into combat with WM if they weren't already fighting something.
