Ronda Rousey's WWE career has seemingly come to an end, but the former Raw Women's Champion is said to be interested in returning to UFC.
Rousey hasn't appeared for WWE since her SummerSlam 2023 loss to Shayna Baszler in the first 'MMA Rules' match. The feud hadn't been scheduled to conclude at SummerSlam, but plans changed when Rousey informed WWE that she intended to finish her time with the company at the August 5, event. Rousey's feud with Baszler was said to be the Hot Rod's thank-you to Baszler, who helped Ronda significantly both before and throughout her pro-wrestling career.
The UK's Daily Mail reports that Rousey is interested in returning to UFC, and aims to compete in "one last bout" at UFC 300. The event is expected to take place sometime next year. If successful, the milestone event will mark Rousey's first fight since UFC 207 in December 2016. While Rousey is eager to have one more match, with the Mail calling it her "primary focus," UFC President Dana White recently said that she has "no shot" of this happening.
Even if Rousey gets her wish for one final fight, other plans may keep the ex-WWE Superstar out of the Octagon. Rousey and her husband Travis Browne are said to be interested in having another child. The couple's first daughter La’akea Makalapuaokalanipō was born in September 2021.
Rousey is also considering on-screen roles in film and television as a possible career path. The report states that she is "looking into those opportunities" after enjoying her time on the 'Stars on Mars' reality TV show. Rousey also has some film credits to her name, including Furious 7.
