Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey has reportedly informed the WWE of her soon-to-be departure.
Rousey went full-time with the WWE in 2018 after sporadic appearances for a couple of years following her departure from MMA and the UFC. After Ronda Rousey suffered a knockout loss to Amanda Nunes in 2016, she left the sport and in 2018 told Ellen DeGeneres that she likely would never make a comeback.
However, after a few years in the WWE, some rumors recently began to swirl that Ronda Rousey may come back to MMA and the UFC to fight for the vacant bantamweight title. Of course, the 135lbs title became vacant after Amanda Nunes announced her retirement. Following Nunes’ decision to hang up the gloves, UFC commentator Jon Anik mentioned Rousey as a potential person to fight for the vacant title.
After Anik’s comments, some fans didn’t think it was serious, but some reports came out that Ronda Rousey could indeed return. To add to that, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Rousey has informed WWE of her hard out, but the exact date is uncertain.
“This was always, always, always the plan,” Meltzer said (h/t SEScoops) about Ronda Rousey. “It kept getting delayed and then Ronda got hurt and the thing was – and I don’t know the date, and it might be SummerSlam, it might be a little bit after – the deal is that Ronda has a hard out. She gave a date, ‘This is my last date.’ I remember talking to somebody there and it’s like, ‘I know they’re going to do this, and I guess, make the big match for WrestleMania.’ And it’s like, ‘No, her hard out is…’ – they didn’t give me the date but it’s long before WrestleMania.”
After Meltzer’s report, many people began to wonder if Ronda Rousey leaving the WWE is a sign of her potential return to the UFC. As of right now, Ronda Rousey has yet to comment on the rumors, but her coming back to fight for the belt would be very interesting.
In MMA, Ronda Rousey went 12-2, including going 6-2 in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and was the inagural UFC bantamweight champ. In her career, she holds notable wins over Miesha Tate, Julia Budd, Liz Carmouche, and Cat Zingano among others.
You mother fuckers better be ready for some HEAD MOVEMENT, HEAD MOVEMENT!!!
other chicks hit in the face as well …not just holm and Nunes…once she gets hit again she will have to go back to WWE
Would be hilarious to show back up as soon as Nunes leaves. Like not even trying to hide it 
.
She ragdolls Pena if she has anything left.
Pena whoops her ass imo.
If she comes back to win the belt it would legit be the funniest shit in mma history and show how much WMMA sucks.
Have her fight Meisha for old times sake.
Is Edmund “Beautiful Champ” Tardverdyan still her coach?
It would likely be grappler vs grappler and Rousey had much better and more explosive grappling. The only time we have seen Pena do anything on the feet was the first Nunes fight and that was sloppy as hell arm punching which still inexplicably got the job done.
Nothing against her
But this is not going to work out
if they give her a grappler it would give her a chance.
or as Cyber said Miesha would be a good matchup.
it’d get a lot of interest and generate buys.
I don’t believe any of this. But man would it be fun to watch ronda lose again
Ronda has not won a fight in eight years and has not had a fight in seven years.
Ronda is not returning to the UFC.
Probably just wants to raise kids on her farm.
Who knows, maybe she is coming back for one more big money fight but I’d be shocked. She is 36 and has not fought in seven years.
