Ronda Rousey Reportedly Not Planning Further WWE Appearance, Door Left Open

Matt JonesApr 2, 2015

Although Ronda Rousey has conquered all before her in the women's bantamweight division in UFC, a change in sport isn't on the cards for the undefeated star, with her WWE appearance seemingly set to be a one-time thing.

Rousey struck an entertaining cameo alongside The Rock at Wrestlemania 31, getting physical with WWE stars Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Here’s a look at the moment in question, per the event’s official Twitter account:

But speaking on Fox Sports 1’s UFC Tonight program (h/t Erik Fontanez of MMAWeekly.com), Rousey’s representative, Brad Slater, described the segment as a "one-off."

That news will come as a disappointment to WWE fans, especially after the 28-year-old stirred speculation that she could be set for further appearances after posting the following on Twitter after the Santa Clara showpiece:

As noted by Ryan McKinnell of Yahoo Sports, Slater made it abundantly clear that Rousey would remain focused on the Octagon rather than the squared circle, especially with her August clash with Bethe Correia at UFC 190 in Brazil edging ever closer.

Nonetheless, as noted by Bleacher Report's Jeremy Botter, the promo she cut was both entertaining and unexpected:

Rousey will be going up against the Brazilian in Correia's home country and has vowed to leave her “embarrassed,” per Shaun Al-Shatti of MMA Fighting (h/t Thomas McKenna of Sport World News). It’s a promise that holds some credence, as Rousey has blitzed her way to 11 wins from 11 bouts in the sport so far.

Here’s a look at why there is so much excitement surrounding the undefeated American:

If Rousey does notch another emphatic victory when she squares off against Correia, it’ll be intriguing to see what avenue she takes next, such is her dominance in the division. Indeed, as noted by Sky Sports in the aftermath of her 14-second destruction of Cat Zingano, Rousey’s last three fights have lasted a meagre 96 seconds in total.

She’s already ruled out the unlikely notion of fighting the opposite sex, per Luke Augustus of MailOnline, and if her hegemony does continue, it’d certainly be no surprise to see her return to professional wrestling. If Rousey's second appearance goes down as well as her debut, she could be poised to be just as big a success in the WWE as she has been in the UFC.
