More Backstage Details on Ronda Rousey’s WWE Future, How The Rock Helped UFC Negotiations, Likelihood of Rousey Wrestling & More

By Nick Paglino

ronda rouseyAccording to PWInsider.com, WWE now feels like Ronda Rousey is “part of the family” since she appeared at WrestleMania 31, and officials fully expect her to return to the company at some point to do business again.

As for UFC President Dana White “signing off” on Rousey’s appearance at ‘Mania, The Rock was said to have substantially helped stifle White’s fears of allowing Rousey to participate in the segment with Triple H, Rock and Stephanie McMahon.

There remains a backstage feeling in WWE, however, that Dana White will not actually allow Ronda Rousey to wrestle a match in WWE, so it will be interesting to see what, if any, help The Rock might offer in negotiating that deal. There are also people who believe Rousey will make another appearance for WWE the next time the company runs the Staples Center in Los Angeles, which will be for the Hell in a Cell PPV in October.
