Ronda Rousey Rules Out WWE Return, Citing Lost Allies and 'Needless Anxiety'

Departures of her Four Horsewomen allies removed her last incentive to return.

Overview

  • In an interview with Yahoo’s Uncrowned, Rousey said she has “no reason to go back,” noting her friends are no longer in the company and she already achieved her goals there.
  • She described WWE as causing “needless anxiety” and called the internal environment a chaotic “s*** show.”
  • Rousey pointed to the exits of Shayna Baszler, Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke, with Baszler released earlier this year, Shafir signed to AEW and Duke gone since 2021.
  • She said the long-teased Four Horsewomen program never happened, leaving a major creative goal unfulfilled.
  • Rousey’s last WWE match came at SummerSlam 2023 before brief ROH appearances later that year, and her latest comments indicate a comeback is highly unlikely.
