Former SmackDown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey has explained why she cannot work WWE European tours anymore.

Speaking during a gaming livestream, Rousey noted that she always had fun during these overseas tours, but can’t do a whole European tour because of her daughter Pō.

Rousey said:

“I can’t do those (European) tours anymore now that I have Pō, which sucks because it was really fun. I remember the tours. I mean all of the tours are a really great time. But unfortunately, that time in my life is behind me now — I mean it’s a great trade for motherhood.

“I can’t really do a whole tour. I had to do like one arena or whatever (during post-WrestleMania 38 tour), because London, O2 Arena or something was a big deal. If they’re in a big venue or something, I’m like the emergency button. We’re having trouble selling out this venue. Quick, hit the ‘Ronda’ button kind of a thing.”

Rousey will challenge for Liv Morgan’s SmackDown Women’s Title at Extreme Rules on October 8. On the September 16 edition of SmackDown, Liv Morgan challenged Rousey to an extreme rules match at the upcoming premium live event.

Nixed plans for Liv Morgan on this episode have now been revealed.
