"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey. When she made a splash to WWE in early 2018, nobody would have expected that she would make the impact that she did. Sure, people expected her to get pushed to the top in no time, and that's exactly what happened.
In fact, she picked up the in-ring aspect of it so fast that it led to comparisons to Kurt Angle and Charlotte Flair. While she may not have fully found her stride on the mic, her popularity and exciting in-ring style have been enough to capture the hearts of the audiences.
However, for a while now, Rousey's WWE status and contract tenure have been uncertain. From the look of things, WWE has been aware of it as well, and the rumours floating around state that Rousey will be finished up with WWE after WrestleMania 35.
This would definitely come as a shock, as fans expected her to stick around for a few years at least. However, there are quite a few good reasons for this if it happens, and we tell you why.
#5 To start a family
Rousey has been very open about her desire to start a family. At the age of 32, she's put her body through a lot in her years as an MMA fighter. Being a WWE superstar itself is very demanding, but she clearly has the physical and athletic attributes to succeed.
However, it's understandable for her to want to start a family as soon as possible, and WWE is most definitely well aware of this too. Reports from Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet state that WWE has been aware of Rousey's desire to begin a family, and this plays a big part of her contract as well.
This would mean that she'd be taking a hiatus for quite a while and have to walk away from WWE.
#4 Her dream has been fulfilled
For Ronda Rousey, being a lifelong WWE fan naturally meant that she dreamt of performing on the grandest stage of them all. She really had it well-mapped out, as she debuted at WrestleMania 34, had one of, if not the best match of the night and won the hearts of fans immediately.
Moreover, her post-WrestleMania run saw her challenge and become RAW Women's Champion. She's been a strong champion, defending her title on every PPV and appearing on pretty much every episode of RAW.
She can't even be classified as a part-timer because of this, but with her poised to main event WrestleMania 35, it would mean that she would make history and an impact that few other WWE superstars have made.
In that short period, she's done so much that her dream has basically been fulfilled. This would make it a perfect time for her to step back and close the door on the WWE chapter.
#3 Life on the road is tough
While Ronda Rousey's schedule isn't as gruelling as most WWE superstars, it's safe to say that she isn't a part-timer. As mentioned, she's clearly done a great job in portraying herself as a fighting champion, and the fact that she appears on every PPV and almost every episode of RAW speaks for itself.
She also wrestles on RAW at least once a month, and that's good enough, if you think about it, because it makes her in-ring appearances more special. It's not like Brock Lesnar where he simply doesn't show up to work, period.
With that being said, Rousey definitely got a harsh reality check of how gruelling life on the road as a WWE superstar can be. This could be one of the major factors that determine her leaving the company in the near future. However, there is one solution for that, but it would be over a year later.
#2 Moving into a proper part-time role
A year would be the minimum that Ronda Rousey would require if she does have a child. Even so, if she does return, it's definitely going to be in a more part-time role rather than the current role she has now.
She has the leverage to do it, because she was one of the biggest box office attractions in MMA history, and the undisputed queen of the box office in female combat sports.
She could either have the Brock Lesnar-type of part-time role, where he rarely appears at all, or she could do it like John Cena, where he appears continuously for a period of time and then takes a hiatus of a few months.
Hopefully, it's the latter.
#1 Another shot at Hollywood
This is an unlikely option but still a big possibility. Although Rousey wasn't particularly successful in Hollywood, she's still a big mainstream name, and being with WWE and training in the Performance Center would have definitely helped her improve her acting skills quite a bit.
If that is the case, then she has a higher shot at success and may be looking for a less physical way of earning a high income in the future.
