Ronda Rousey: WWE’s Loss Could Be UFC’s Gain

The wrestling world is buzzing with rumors and speculations around Ronda Rousey. The star athlete who has conquered both the octagon and the wrestling ring seems to be on the cusp of another life-altering decision. Could we witness her UFC comeback at the landmark UFC 300 event in 2024? This is the burning question fans are asking.

The Inside Scoop on Ronda’s Next Move

According to Sadie Whitelocks of DailyMail.com, an anonymous confidant of Rousey has revealed some eye-opening details.

“She just had a match at SummerSlam and is looking to wind down her time and commitments with the WWE and she is now focusing on potentially making a run to have one last fight in the UFC and compete at UFC 300 when that presents itself sometime next year,” the source stated.

This is particularly juicy considering Rousey’s absence from MMA since her shocking 48-second knockout loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 in 2016. Since then, Rousey has largely been wrestling under the WWE banner, except for a brief appearance in 2018 when she was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.

The Word on the WWE Contract

Dave Meltzer mentioned last month on Wrestling Observer Radio that Rousey’s WWE contract is coming to an end soon.

“Rousey has a ‘hard out’ when her WWE contract expires,” as noted by Ian Carey of F4W Online.

After losing to Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam, it’s widely speculated that Rousey is done with WWE. But conflicting reports do exist. MMA journalist Ariel Helwani reported that Rousey was “not considering a UFC comeback” and that there was “no truth” to such rumors. With Nunes retiring recently, however, the Octagon might just be a bit more inviting.

The Crossroads: Fighting, Acting or Both?

The confidant also mentioned that Ronda is at a significant turning point in her career, considering various avenues including TV and film roles.

“Rousey is at a current crossroads in her life and career as she is looking to see what she might want to do next,” and added that television and film roles are “a big focus” for her.

So what does this mean for Rousey’s legion of fans? Will they see her in the Octagon again or perhaps catch her in a blockbuster film? The curiosity is high, and the possibilities seem endless.

While the sports world waits with bated breath for Ronda Rousey’s next move, one thing is certain: wherever she goes, excitement is sure to follow.
