#5. Former WWE RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey made quite the impression within WWE during her brief stay. 'The Baddest Woman on The Planet' left WWE following WrestleMania 35 to start her own family.

Rousey was able to be part of several projects for over a year before she shared the good news with the WWE Universe.

Earlier this year on YouTube, Rousey announced she was expecting her first child with husband Travis Browne. The couple later revealed they were going to welcome a daughter.

The former Women's Champion took to Instagram to announce that the couple had welcomed their daughter at the end of September and revealed her name as La’akea Makalapuaokalanipō Browne.

Within one month of the delivery, the former UFC Champion is back in the gym ahead of her return to the ring. Rousey herself has already updated several posts on Instagram that show that she is working hard to get back in shape.

Current SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch has already called out Rousey, saying the latter shouldn't return. Both have history following WrestleMania 35, which is expected to play out on WWE TV soon.

#4. Former WWE Superstar Renee Paquette

Renee Paquette was known as Renee Young throughout her WWE tenure, which came to an end in the summer of 2020. Just a year after her husband Dean Ambrose departed WWE, Paquette followed him out of the door.

Not long after leaving WWE, Paquette's husband Jon Moxley announced on an episode of AEW Dynamite that the couple was expecting their first child, later revealed to be a daughter.

It was a throwaway line in the middle of a promo he was delivering, where the star noted that he had a "pregnant wife at home."

Paquette went on to welcome her daughter, Nora, back in June. Once again, it was a throwaway announcement that the former WWE Superstar had welcomed her daughter in a tweet to promote her upcoming podcast.

Paquette regularly posts updates about her baby, while highlighting some of the issues women face following childbirth.

#3. Former WWE Superstar Sarah Logan

Sarah Logan was part of The Riott Squad in WWE for almost three years before she was released from the company in April 2020.

Logan was the only main roster female talent that was released as part of this round of budget cuts that following the COVID-19 pandemic. The star later went on to share some happy news with the WWE Universe.

On her YouTube channel, Logan revealed that she was expecting her first child with fellow WWE Superstar Erik (Raymond Rowe).

After going past full-term, the former WWE Superstar finally welcomed her son Raymond Cash Rowe on February 9, 2021, after a lengthy home birth.

It was noted in the announcement post that Logan was in labor for 44 hours, but their son had finally arrived and was worth the wait.

Over the past eight months, Logan has made it clear that she wants to step back into the wrestling business. She has been linked to AEW since the arrival of her Riott Squad teammate Ruby Soho.

#2. Former WWE Superstar Brandi Rhodes

Brandi Rhodes was known as Eden Stiles throughout her WWE career and worked on the main roster as a ring announcer.

She followed suit after her husband Cody Rhodes left WWE in 2016. The couple went on to help create AEW from the ground up. The Rhodes has since become the power couple of All Elite Wrestling, getting their reality TV series called "Rhodes to the Top."

Much like Jon Moxley and Renee Paquette, Brandi and Cody announced that they were expecting their first child together on an episode of AEW Dynamite.

The couple then announced the arrival of their daughter, Liberty Iris, back in June, which means that Renee and Brandi's daughters were born just days apart. Liberty has since become a focal part of their reality TV series, which looks at the couple's life both inside and outside of the business.

Less than four months after welcoming her first child, Brandi has returned to AEW as the manager/valet of Cody.

#1. Current WWE Superstar Lacey Evans

Lacey Evans shocked the WWE Universe back in January. On an episode of Monday Night RAW, she announced she was expecting her second child.

Evans was part of a storyline with WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair at the time and it was believed a kayfabe pregnancy. The news turned out to be real, with WWE writing Evans off-the-script.

The 'Sassy Southern Belle' announced she was expecting a girl with some beautiful images from her baby shower. On October 16, Evans announced that she had welcomed her second daughter.

Evans opted for a home birth due to Covid restrictions. The star is yet to announce a name for her daughter, but did reveal that the baby was 7lb 8oz when she arrived at 4:20 am.
