Rumors have swirled about Ronda Rousey’s potential break or departure from WWE. On July 2, Dave Meltzer from the ‘Wrestling Observer’ reported that Rousey discussed her leaving time with WWE. This led WWE to plan her match with Shayna Baszler for WWE: SummerSlam. However, a later arm injury delayed this.

At SummerSlam, Baszler won their MMA Rules match via submission. After the bout, Rousey briefly appeared on the ramp as her close friend celebrated. The subsequent events, notably Rousey’s Instagram post, seem to corroborate the notion that the former WWE Smackdown Women’s Champion is stepping away from WWE, at least for the time being.
