Ronda Rousey - WWE Update (Patreon)

Fightful has spoken to a source about WWE's plans for Ronda Rousey and vice versa. Rousey will indeed be leaving WWE following WrestleMania, although that was the plan all along. The aspect of the originally reported story that involved her plans for a family is something we aren't privy to.

Assuming Rousey isn't looking to start a family, WWE hopes to have her back around Survivor Series-- although that timeline isn't clear and starting a family would put that on the back burner. A major reason for WWE's plan to put Charlotte in the main event match with Rousey and Becky Lynch is that they want two people involved in that match to hang around for the immediate future. As of now, the plan is for that match to headline WrestleMania, which should be a surprise to no one. 

Rousey is generally well liked within WWE among wrestlers. As far as management goes, there have been some things she's been hesitant to do, it's nothing that caused any issues. Rousey did, however, remove a member of her entourage that was seen as problematic late last year and was restricted from being backstage at WWE events, which only served to endear her to WWE officials. It's worth noting that Rousey does have a rather large entourage, as well as her own hair and makeup people. Rousey's husband and UFC fighter Travis Browne has also made a positive impression.
