After SummerSlam this year, Ronda Rousey said her goodbye to WWE. Since then questions have been fluttering in everyone’s minds about her next move. Recently, last month in November, she appeared in Ring of Honor, fueling the rumors of her signing a deal with AEW.

Rousey recently cleared out all the rumors and revealed whether she is going to join AEW or ROH. This is what she had to say.

Slightly after giving birth to her daughter, Rousey came back to the ring. Though she took her baby girl everywhere she went, she couldn’t give her undivided attention because of her busy work schedule and professional commitments. This was one of the reasons behind her leaving WWE.

She wants to take a break from her professional life and invest more effort and time into her personal life. Earlier this week, TMZ Sports caught up to Rousey in Los Angeles where they asked her about her future plans. Since Rousey recently appeared in ROH, the question was whether she was interested in joining AEW since Tony Khan owns both companies.

She replied, “No, no, I don’t think so.” She then added, “Just trying to be home with the family, and be a full-time mom.” Rousey has a well-accomplished career in not only pro wrestling but in all of the combat sports. It makes sense now that she wants a break to focus more on her daughter.

As mentioned before, the last time pro wrestling fans saw Rousey perform inside the ring was at Ring of Honor, which is owned by AEW.
