6 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 6 we hope aren't: Vince McMahon to push legend with expiring contract, Megastar not returning until WrestleMania 37?

#1. Hope isn't true: Legitimate backstage heat for Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey isn't a woman who's going to be welcome back in the WWE locker room with open arms. She was recently on the Wild Ride! with Steve-O podcast, where she made unflattering comments.

While she praised WWE and wrestling in general, she used the term "fake fighting" and directly insulted the fanbase - citing it as the reason why she hasn't returned to the ring. She even labeled them as 'ungrateful' and to no surprise, this hasn't gone down well with the locker room, according to Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue:

To what I'm sure will be the surprise of nobody, Ronda Rousey's recent comments haven't gone down too well in the #WWE locker rooms.

We hope this isn't true because it all seems to be a work. Rousey referenced a confusion Hulk Hogan tweet on Instagram, indicating that she purposely said what she did to get her name out there again.

Either way, WWE will always welcome a Superstar of Rousey's caliber and if she's only going to return in 2021, then fans may forget about the comments she made. It'll be interesting to see what capacity she returns in if she ever does.
