WWE deal: Ronda Rousey shoots down rumour

By Daily Sports on January 26, 2018

Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey has denied rumour that she has penned a deal with wrestling organisation, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) whose pay per view (PPV) wrestling event, Royal Rumble is slated for this weekend in Philadelphia.

Rousey has been rumored to join World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) for several months now with talks ongoing that would see her make several appearances for the professional wrestling organization throughout 2018.

WWE executive Paul “Triple H” Levesque even confirmed that he had spoken to Rousey about joining the organization but there were no more details available at that time.

Since then Rousey’s name has been attached to virtually every possible rumor regarding her first appearance in WWE including the upcoming “Royal Rumble” event this weekend.

Reacting to the rumour, Rousey says there’s no chance she’ll be making an appearance because she’s on her way to Colombia where she’s filming the last part of her upcoming film “Mile 22” alongside Mark Wahlberg.

“I appreciate everyone’s confidence but I’m actually leaving to Colombia right now to finish shooting “Mile 22″ and I won’t be back until mid-February,” Rousey told TMZ.

“I haven’t signed anything,” Rousey said about a potential deal with WWE. “Regardless to what anyone said, no pen to paper for me.”

For now, Rousey will continue to focus on her acting career with “Mile 22” still in production but obviously she doesn’t close the door on potentially appearing in WWE in the future.

“I’m fortunate enough to be able to choose what to do with my time instead of going from one necessity to another,” Rousey said. “So I’m having a lot of fun doing this.”
