There have been speculations over Ronda Rousey and her downward-going WWE career as we headed to Summerslam. She was part of the festivity despite WWE Universe least caring about her match and using it as a bathroom break, she had a slugfest against her former bestie. While a set of top names like Trish Stratus, Becky Lynch, or even the WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley couldn’t make it to the PLE card, the former UFC star made it there due to a valid reason.
WWE reportedly had no choice in leaving Ronda Rousey from the latest bygone premium live event since she was reportedly leaving the company for good after giving the WWE a ‘hard date’ for leaving. It may not be permanent in the long term but we won’t be seeing her for the due course if current reports are to go by.
