Ronda Rousey has no plans to return to WWE.
Rousey, who left WWE after losing to Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam 2023, recently appeared on the “Never Before Told” podcast to discuss her new Our Fight book.
During the podcast, the two-time WWE Women’s Champion called WWE an “absolute sh*t show.” She said,
“How much of an absolute sh*t show it is at the WWE because they can’t hold the story over my head and hold me hostage with my own career. I don’t need anything from them and I don’t intend on going back, so I can say everything that I think and feel while everybody else is still held captive by their organization.”
In other WWE news, #DIY will be competing in the six-pack WWE Tag Team Title match at WrestleMania 40 after defeating the Creed Brothers on RAW to qualify for the bout.
Taking to Instagram, Tommaso Ciampa commented on getting a match at the Showcase of Immortals. He wrote,
“9 years in WWE. 19 years as professional wrestlers. It still hasn’t really sunk in.
To the 5 year old boy who had a dream: you’re going to Wrestlemania!
To the fans: you have our eternal thanks
To the Creeds: nothing but love and respect
To my parents and siblings: thank you for your guidance and unconditional love
To my wife: thank you for believing in me during my darkest hours
To my daughter: find your passion in life and be relentless in your pursuit
To Johnny: I’m so f’n proud of us”
