The New York Post recently caught up with former RAW Executive Director Paul Heyman, and picked his brain on Ronda Rousey's status with WWE. While Roman Reigns' counsel no longer plays an active role behind the scenes in WWE, it's no secret that Heyman advised Rousey when she was wrestling for the company.
"Everyone presumes that Ronda Rousey’s contract expires at a certain time," Heyman began. "I don’t understand why people don’t realize that perhaps, just perhaps, Ronda Rousey’s contract has been extended or she has worked out a new deal and it would not benefit either WWE or Ronda Rousey to go public with that information. But why wouldn’t people understand that it would be kept secret?"
"Ronda Rousey is a trailblazer, and I would suggest the next time you see Ronda Rousey she will be making history in whatever she does," he continued. "And if she does it with WWE, it will be something that will elevate the manner in which women’s wrestling is performed and presented because Ronda will never be the status quo. Ronda Rousey will always disrupt the status quo and create a new environment that all others must aspire to."
Rousey left WWE after last year's WrestleMania to start a family with her husband. As far as we know, that hasn't happened yet, and there's no timetable for any sort of WWE return right now.
While the Baddest Woman on the Planet was unhappy with how fans turned on her, it would be a terrible shame for her pro wrestling career to end the way it did as her loss to Becky Lynch on the Grandest Stage of Them All wasn't overly satisfying.
