Ronda Rousey Rules Out WWE Return and Nixes UFC White House Fight

She says the company’s backstage chaos and the departure of her closest allies leave her with no incentive to return.

Overview

  • In new interviews, Rousey says she has "no reason to go back" to WWE after the company "dropped all my friends."
  • She laments never getting the MMA Four Horsewomen run and notes Shayna Baszler’s 2025 release, Marina Shafir’s AEW role, and Jessamyn Duke’s 2021 departure.
  • Rousey criticizes WWE’s non-collaborative creative under Vince McMahon as an "absolute s***show," contrasting it with her experience working with Dana White.
  • She rules out fighting on the planned UFC White House card, saying she has "better s— to do," even as she adds "never say never" about any future fight.
  • Citing life with two young children, she says WWE’s travel schedule no longer fits, and she praises Jon Moxley’s mentorship of Shafir as the kind of supportive culture she values.
