Ronda Rousey has certainly had one of the best first years in pro-wrestling history. She has made a smooth transition from one of MMA's biggest draws to one of WWE's biggest draws. For a while, everything had seemed amazing for The Rowdy one, until Becky Lynch entered the frame.

Since then, things have appeared to be falling apart a bit for Ronda Rousey. Though she has been a constant feature on TV and has held on to the Women's Championship, it's her social media presence that has been controversial. While some of the things she has said on the public platforms have been intriguing and has helped further her feud with Lynch and Charlotte, some other things she has said have been more surprising, if not annoying for the fans. Her frustration has been apparent, and a cause of concern.

We think that she may soon start to think about life after WWE. Though it wouldn't surprise her if she already has started planning for the same. In this article, we present 3 reasons why she will not be in WWE for a very long time.

#3 “Wrestling is fake”

Ironically, WWE has pushed her to the moon.
Ironically, WWE has pushed her to the moon.

Ronda Rousey vlogs regularly, and looks hell-bent on making her vlogs entertaining. Unfortunately for pro-wrestling fans, her attempts break our hearts.

Among everything she stated in one of her videos, she said:

Wrestling is scripted. It’s made up. It’s not real.

Can you imagine any other WWE Superstar saying the same? No. Yes, there's a possibility that all of this could be a 'work.' but then... Ahem! However, there's no apparent reason for one of the biggest stars in the WWE to use a public platform to say everything that they do in the company is fake. Unsurprisingly, one of her WrestleMania opponents, Charlotte Flair, commented about her statements on Twitter:

Rousey's statement is shocking. Imagine an antagonist instructing a terrified, trembling protagonist to shoot him in the climax of the movie, saying, “Shoot, I won't die for real. It's a movie, you stupid, idiot.”

It's a terrible statement to make, and it's difficult to imagine that WWE asked her to say all that she has said. In fact, WWE Officials haven't been too happy with Rousey's Twitter happenings. Though she will get away with it, yet this is a strong indication she will not be in the business for a very long time. Else, wrestlers don't call wrestling fake and 'made up' and say that they will disrespect the business. It's more of Rousey's frustration than some 'work.' In brief, Rousey's growing frustration is one of the reasons why Rousey won't spend too much time in the WWE.

#2 Her struggles off late to take things in stride

Becky Lynch is more 'over' in the WWE than any Superstar. She consistently gets a louder reaction walking as The Man than what any near-fall can get in a main-event match. Rousey had no chance of being cheered over her when a feud between the two started. Unsurprisingly, she wasn't cheered. And, Rousey who had till then enjoyed the WWE Universe's love was found wanting. In fact, on the RAW after Rumble, she couldn't even get through one of her promos because the entire building was thundering with chants of 'Becky.' Thankfully, Bayley came out quickly to save the day for the 'Baddest Woman on the Planet.'

There have also been speculations about Rousey's anger over Lynch using a picture of her husband in one of her tweets. They recently had a long back-and-forth on Twitter, but the conversation took a nasty turn when Rousey said, "Rebecca Quin, I don’t care what the script says, I’m beating the living shit out of you the next time I see you."

This looked too true to not be true. From her tweet, Rousey looked to be legitimately upset with Lynch, which Lynch reacted to as well; she said, "Ron Ron, you still mad, Bro? Just checking because you went full Russo earlier. Wanted to make sure you made it back okay."

In another report, Rousey had also been reported to be upset with rumors of UFC Star Cris Cyborg joining WWE.

To sum up, Rousey has been having a tough time being hated, and being a pro-wrestler, where men and women live off making storylines personal and feed on reactions, irrespective it's for or against them. Rousey has struggled to adjust to some of the things here. Well, things will go more downhill once she starts to lose more, possibly starting at WrestleMania.

#3 She really doesn't need to be in the WWE

E

There are Superstars that need WWE. Then, there are Superstars that WWE needs. It's not without reason that WWE pays Brock Lesnar $12 million annually to show up once in a blue moon. Rousey is another such Superstar. Rousey is a UFC Hall of Famer. She has appeared in numerous movies and shows. She has now become an insanely successful WWE Superstar, becoming one of the reasons why women have been in the main-event feud of WrestleMania 35.

The bottom line is: she doesn't need to do this for too long.

Reports had surfaced early in 2019 that Rousey might leave WWE after WrestleMania 35 to start a family. However, WWE and Rousey were both quick to rubbish the reports. WWE stated that Rousey was under contract until April 2021. On the other hand, Rousey emphasized on the fact that her future was her business.

But, the truth could be deeper than what's apparent. Rousey will take a break after 'Mania 35, and she might well have something on her mind about leaving the company. She has stated earlier that she loves her job. But, the way things have gone in recent times, there must have been some love lost.

It could potentially fuel a desire for something more. She has previously stated that she has the right to walk away the moment she doesn't feel happy and continue living happily with the love of her life. Like Vince McMahon, with all his experience, has said:

"The Rondas will come in and out, and when they do, as long as we know what those dates are, we plan around it."

It'd be surprising if Rousey wrestles beyond her current contract. In fact, the question is if she will stay until April 2021.
