Will she return?

It's been close to a year since Ronda Rousey was last on WWE television. During her year-long tenure, she didn't work a "part-time" schedule as many would have thought and was fully involved in programming the whole way through - featured as the centerpiece of the RAW Women's division.

Tom Colohue revealed that Rousey has been in talks with WWE over her contract as she wants a reduced work schedule:

Ronda Rousey has been speaking about her contract recently, now she completed her full 12 months, and what she was saying is that she was unhappy with the amount of work involved in that. There were a lot of days, she worked 200 so events, 200 days, and she did mention that a lot of the other talent were working a lot more, however, with the amount she was doing and the amount of time she wants to spend with her family at home.

He said that negotiations have been going on for a long time now.

She is looking for fewer dates, so that's part of the contract negotiations going forward for her return. Negotiations have been ongoing since pretty much the day she left.

He also said that due to her drawing power, she has a lot more leverage with negotiations. We hope this rumor is true and that she returns with a deserved schedule of her choosing.
