WWE open to bringing controversial name back for another run

The Triple H-led WWE has seemingly left the door open for a former champion to return to the Stamford-based promotion. The talent in question is Ronda Rousey. The Rowdy One has had two stints in the Sports Entertainment juggernaut so far, with her first run culminating after the main event of WrestleMania 35.

The former UFC star returned for another stint in 2022 before leaving again following her match against Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam 2023. Overall, Rousey is a two-time SmackDown Women's Champion, a one-time RAW Women's Champion, and a one-time Women's Tag Team Champion. She is also a Royal Rumble winner (2022).

While speaking on Sports Media with Richard Deitsch, WWE Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and Head of Communications Chris Legentil heaped praise on The Baddest Woman on The Planet. He stated that WWE would be open to having a conversation with Rousey if the 37-year-old star showcased her interest in returning for one more run.

"We saw the news recently about she's going to be having her second child, and we're super excited for her. We love Ronda. She's been a great person to work with on a lot of levels. And, you know, if somebody wants to come back, it's always a conversation we're happy to have. I mean, life is very long, and, you know, things change both behind the scenes and in front of the camera over time. And we're definitely open to have [sic] conversations when it makes sense," Chris said. [H/T: POST Wrestling]

Ronda Rousey has commented on the possibility of a WWE return

During a recent interview with WrestleZone, Rousey revealed that she had "such a negative experience" during her last WWE run under the Vince McMahon-led regime.

The Rowdy One added that she was not "overly excited" about the idea of another comeback in the Sports Entertainment juggernaut.

"I mean, my last run just with Vince [McMahon], Bruce Prichard, and John Laurinaitis was such a negative experience. I know most of them are gone [except Prichard]. I'm not overly excited to come back like I was the last time [2022]. Even though I had so many matches that I very much enjoyed and had a great time when I look back on it. I don't really think of the joy I had in those matches and those live shows," Rousey said.

With WWE having a resurgence under the leadership of Nick Khan and Triple H, it remains to be seen if Ronda Rousey changes her stance on returning to the Stamford-based promotion.
