Ronda Rousey Is Likely To Be Out for Some Time As She Takes Up a New Challenge Outside WWE

Ronda Rousey ended her month-long hiatus during WrestleMania 39. However, she immediately went missing after the grandest event, as she is yet to be fully recovered from her elbow injury. Weeks ago, wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer gave a disappointing update regarding her return to the company. It has been reported that she isn’t cleared to wrestle.

It seems like she still isn’t fit and hence picked an alternative pursuit, as per her current physical capacity. Pro wrestling, being a strenuous sport, needs a greater amount of physical stamina and high endurance, unlike other entertainment products such as reality shows.

Ronda Rousey is set to kick-start another venture outside the ring

The former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion will soon appear on Fox TV in the United States. It’s officially announced that Rousey is one of those twelve celebrity contenders who will take part in a reality show named ‘Stars on Mars’, which is set to air on Monday, June 5.

The show hopefully will be a fun-packed ride as it will make the performers face certain conditions that stimulate life on Mars. The other contenders of the show comprise Lance Armstrong, Marshawn Lynch, Adam Rippon, Tinashe, Tom Schwartz, Natasha Leggero, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Ariel Winter, Tallulah Willis, and Porsha Williams.

As far as her current WWE run goes, Ronda Rousey and her tag team partner Shayna Baszler are recently drafted to the red brand.

The tag team duo will look to compete against the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Although when they face off against each other isn’t clear given Rousey’s prolonged absence.

But despite not having her in the team currently, Baszler seems to hold her mate in high regard. Ronda Rousey’s lesser focus on the sport for the past year, for many reasons apart from the injury, led many to criticize her worth and dedication as a wrestler. But her former MMA peer Shayna Baszler isn’t one of them.

She firmly protested against any criticism coming Rousey’s way. During a past interview, Baszler noted how it’s unfair for people to judge her on certain conditions. She also referred to her MMA skills while defending the 36-year-old to the fullest. Baszler stated, ‘Just because she lost, and you didn’t like her personality, you’re letting it cloud the fact that she changed women’s fighting. There would not be women in the UFC, at least not for a while, if it wasn’t for her.’

However, we are yet to see when the former Raw Women’s Champion will be back inside the squared circle alongside Shayna Baszler.
