Ronda Rousey is pictured on July 28, 2018 in Beverly Hills, California. The star has apologized for sharing a conspiracy video about the Sandy Hook tragedy.

Overview

  • On The Lapsed Fan podcast, Rousey said wrestling is “pretty much” in her rearview and described her WWE years as a sabbatical.
  • She said her top goal was working with Shayna Baszler, Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke, but WWE never delivered the long‑teased Horsewomen vs. Horsewomen program.
  • Rousey criticized Vince McMahon’s creative leadership as “sheisty carny s***” and claimed he avoided direct conversations.
  • She argued her Alexa Bliss feud was driven by Bliss’s merchandise sales; Bliss posted “I love our business,” and AEW’s MJF and WWE’s CM Punk mocked Rousey’s comments on X.
  • Rousey is focusing on family and writing projects, including a Netflix script and an October graphic novel, after a final WWE loss to Shayna Baszler in 2023 and brief post‑WWE matches with Marina Shafir.
