Ronda Rousey is expected to leave the WWE before WrestleMania in April

“This was always, always, always the plan, It kept getting delayed and then Ronda (Rousey) got hurt and the thing was – and I don’t know the date, and it might be SummerSlam, it might be a little bit after – the deal is that Ronda has a hard out. She gave a date. ‘This is my last date.’ ‘Cause I remember talking to somebody there and it’s like, ‘I know they’re going to do this, and I guess, make the big match for WrestleMania.’ And it’s like, ‘No, her hard out is…’ – they didn’t give me the date but it’s long before WrestleMania.” Transitioning to professional wrestling with the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) since her retirement from mixed martial arts, Rousey, who has enjoyed a gold-laden spell with the outfit, is expected to end her tenure with the oganization before April of next year according to recent reports. However, in the wake of Brazilian veteran, Nunes’ retirement at UFC 288 last month, Ronda Rousey has been linked with a potential return to mixed martial arts competition – in the search of a vacant bantamweight title fight.The defeat followed a stunning second round high-kick KO loss to former champion, Holly Holm in the pair’s bantamweight title fight the year prior.
