WWE Interested in Working with Ronda Rousey Again: Report
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Despite negative comments made against the company, WWE would still like to do business with Ronda Rousey should the opportunity come about. Post-WWE, Rousey has been critical of her experience, particularly the creative environment during what she termed the "death throes of the Vince McMahon era," which she described as "needlessly stressful." She expressed admiration for Triple H, wishing her tenure occurred under "the Triple H era" and noting he "believed in me from the very beginning." Rousey also cited her concussion history as a factor contributing to her departure from wrestling. According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, WWE remains interested in potentially working with former multi-time Women's Champion Ronda Rousey again in the future. Alvarez noted that this interest could also impact the status of Shayna Baszler, who was recently released by WWE. Baszler had Rousey's last match in WWE at SummerSlam 2023, effectively "retiring" her from the company in storyline. However, Alvarez suggested Baszler's departure might not be permanent if Rousey makes a comeback and requests her longtime friend's involvement. "WWE does still want to do something with Ronda Rousey," Alvarez stated. "Shayna Baszler obviously retired Ronda Rousey—or at least [that was] her last match in WWE. So I could not say that there's no chance we'll never see Shayna Baszler again." Ronda Rousey turned her back on the WWE Universe on RAW Ronda Rousey turned her back on the WWE Universe on RAW WWE He elaborated on the connection, adding, "I cannot say we'll never see Shayna again because if WWE makes a deal with Ronda and Ronda wants Shayna back, she'll be back." This suggests that any potential future negotiations with Rousey could directly influence whether WWE re-signs Shayna Baszler. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation Following a decorated career in judo and UFC, Ronda Rousey signed full-time with WWE in 2018, debuting impressively at WrestleMania 34 alongside Kurt Angle against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. She quickly captured the Raw Women's Championship and was instrumental in the women's division's rise, main-eventing the all-women Evolution PPV and the first women's WrestleMania main event (WrestleMania 35). After a break, Rousey returned in 2022, winning the Royal Rumble and securing the SmackDown Women's Championship twice. She later teamed with Shayna Baszler to win and unify the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships before losing her final WWE match to Baszler at SummerSlam 2023.
