Meltzer reporting that Ronda Rousey might be leaving WWE after Mania

[THE 101]

There is a very good chance that Ronda Rousey will be finishing up with WWE at WrestleMania.

If that’s the case, she would likely put Becky Lynch over more likely then Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania, given that would be what the fans would want.

There was a decent amount of talk this past week internally, since we heard it from several people, that Rousey would finish up at WrestleMania.

That may not be decided as that aspect is just the feeling people had since it’s the logical ending everyone came to based on the situation.

As of today, this was the plan.

Rousey has always talked about WWE as a temporary thing, and her long-term thing was to start a family with husband Travis Browne and live on her farm. This has been known for some time and Rousey very much wants to start a family soon.

It was always pretty much known it would be after this year’s WrestleMania because she made close to a full-time commitment for one year to WWE, even though it was announced at the time she signed a multi-year full-time contract.

Right now, there is no hard and firm last day, but the working idea, which has been the case since January 2018, is that Mania 2019 is the finishing date. The discussion right now is whether Mania is it, or maybe she does the PPV after Mania. We’ve been through enough Brock Lesnar situations to know that Vince McMahon, come the last week, will make great offers and change finishes to shock people, especially at WrestleMania.

But because we are close to Mania and Mania could be her last date, that’s why so many people are starting to talk about it. That’s another reason why the three-way instead of Rousey vs. Lynch as a single makes the most sense for Mania, because you want both Flair and Lynch to have that spot going forward as being the first women to headline a WrestleMania show.

Whether they can come back with Rousey vs. Lynch in a single as her last match would be the question. She will probably remain affiliated with the company afterwards. It’s certainly possible for her to have a role like Undertaker or John Cena or others where she comes back at times.

Didn’t she sign a 3 year deal and she is already ready to bounce

Vince needs to start treating WM as a season ender of sorts. No need to swerve WM just to have her drop the title at some garbage like Backlash

Lol

 

[prophecypro]

Metzer said a couple of months back that the reason Fox even gave them a billion dollars was cause they have Ronda

“But but but play fighting is in a boom period and is cool again” - :smark:

That entire report is pure Double Talk Dave

 

[The Girl From Innsmouth]

Just as long as <3 Baeszler <3 stays. . .

 

[NYChase718]

Would be fukking hilarious if she worked a Lesnar schedule

And ronda and lesnar appeared 3 times out the year and held the belts

 

[Reality Check]

Just as long as <3 Baeszler <3 stays. . .

If Double Talk Dave is correct, I'm assuming she and the other two MMA Four Horsewomen will be brought up after Rousey leaves to fill the void.

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

She wants to live on a farm with her husband? Doesn't Lesnar live on a farm with Sable? Ronda gonna play Cokeboy like a fiddle too

 

[TheWhackMamba]

Just as long as <3 Baeszler <3 stays. . .

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die

 

[CBoz]

Didn’t she sign a 3 year deal and she is already ready to bounce

Ric Flair has stated it was only a year.

This actually would be very smart imo come back a few years later for one final bag.
