Ronda Rousey has been one of WWE's breakout stars of 2018. She stole the show in her WrestleMania debut and since then she has not been pinned or submitted. As a part of Monday Night Raw, she defeated the likes of Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss, Alicia Fox, Mickie James, Ruby Riott, Charlotte Flair, Tamina, Natalya, Sasha Banks, and Bayley while also holding the Raw Women's Championship.

She is set to defend the Raw Women's Championship against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 35 and it is becoming increasingly likely that Becky Lynch is re-added to the match. This match will almost certainly be the main event of WrestleMania 35.

However, it has been heavily rumored that Ronda Rousey will be leaving WWE for a while now. It is now reported that the Baddest Woman on the Planet will be finishing up with WWE at WrestleMania 35 after presumably dropping the Raw Women's Championship to Becky Lynch or even Charlotte Flair. However, it is extremely unlikely that this will actually happen due to a multitude of reasons.


#3 A number of potential dream matches for Ronda Rousey.

Will we actually never see a dream match between Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch?
Will we actually never see a dream match between Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch?

If WrestleMania 35 is Ronda Rousey's last match, there are a number of dream matches between the two women that we will never be able to see. While Ronda Rousey has faced a number of the members of WWE's women's division, there are still several opponents that she has never faced. There is a lot of potential in dream matches between Ronda Rousey and Asuka, Sonya Deville, and Ember Moon.

That's not even counting potential matches with NXT and NXT UK superstars including fellow Horsewomen Shayna Baszler, Kairi Sane, Io Shirai, Mia Yim, and Toni Storm. That is not to mention the idea of a money singles match between Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch which we must see at some point.

It would also be cool to see potential rematches including Ronda Rousey against Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, Bayley, and Natalya. Since Ronda Rousey truly loves working with WWE, she probably wants to face the best opponents that she can face.

#2 Fox wants Ronda Rousey on SmackDown Live

It is rumoured that Fox wants Ronda Rousey to move to SmackDown Live.
It is rumoured that Fox wants Ronda Rousey to move to SmackDown Live.

SmackDown Live will be moving to Fox later this year and paid one billion dollars to acquire SmackDown Live. However, they want a number of changes from WWE about SmackDown Live. One of those changes is that they want Ronda Rousey to move to SmackDown Live due to her popularity, credibility as an athlete, and MMA background to promote the show.

It would be interesting to see Ronda Rousey as a part of SmackDown Live because she has always been a part of the Raw brand and has never competed on SmackDown Live. She would definitely be a star on that show and can have great matches with the likes of Sonya Deville, Naomi, and Asuka. Some of that money can be used to give Ronda Rousey an immense pay raise.

The large pay raise that Ronda Rousey can get if she stays with WWE and moves to SmackDown Live should definitely be enough to convince her to stay with WWE.

#1 The Total Diva rumors

The women of Total Divas were impressed by Ronda Rousey's debut.

There is going to be a massive shakeup to Total Divas Season 9. The main stars in the Bella Twins, as well as Lana, will be departing from the show. Not only is it rumored that Sonya Deville will be joining the cast but is also heavily rumored that Ronda Rousey will be joining the Total Divas cast of season nine.

There are reportedly cameras from the reality shows at the farm owned by her and her husband, filming scenes for the show already. Because of the fact that Ronda Rousey's contract does not expire for the foreseeable future, it makes sense that WWE would want her to be a part of Total Divas.

It would make no sense for Ronda Rousey to be a part of the show if she is leaving WWE. Therefore, if the Total Divas rumors are true then Ronda Rousey cannot be leaving WWE.
