But what does full-time in WWE mean these days? Is that week-in, week-out, house shows and all, the occasional pay-per-view and Raw like Brock Lesnar, wrestle and retire on a yearly basis Undertaker style, or get every other Tuesday off for bath time like Randy Orton.
Ronda didn’t fully reveal how often she’ll be appearing on WWE from now on, but she certainly seemed serious about the multi-year commitment when talking to ESPN:
“This is my life now. First priority on my timeline for the next several years. This is not a smash-and-grab; this is not a publicity stunt. When I first met with Triple H, I told him, ‘There are other things I can do with my time that’ll make way more money, but I won’t enjoy nearly as much’… now that I realize I really do have this opportunity, I feel like my 6-year-old self would totally kick my ass if I didn’t take it.”
So with Rousey joining WWE now fully confirmed, after months and months of rumors and reports, the next question is… who’s going to be her first feud?
Ronda Rousey WWE Plans Revealed?
There are currently two conflicting reports. PWInsider claims that Rousey will challenge Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown women’s title at WrestleMania, while Asuka will face Alexa Bliss for Raw’s.
The Wrestling Observer, however, are reporting “The current plan for Ronda Rousey’s WWE debut at WrestleMania looks to be a tag team match against Stephanie McMahon & Triple H.” Apparently WWE are desperately trying to get Rock The Dwayne Johnson to be Ronda’s tag partner, but his various movie commitments – and the insurance policies studios take out on him in case of injury – is preventing him from wrestling a full match.
WWE had previously tried to make The Rock and Rousey Connection vs Stephanie and Triple H happen at WrestleMania 31.
Who do you think Ronda Rousey should feud with first?
