Former UFC superstar Ronda Rousey has put an end to the rumors swirling around about her potential move to All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
In a recent encounter with TMZ Sports in Los Angeles, the 36-year-old athlete made it clear that she is not heading to AEW and is focused on her role as a full-time mom.
Rousey, who left WWE in October after joining the company in 2018, expressed her commitment to being with her family and prioritizing her mommy duties.
"Just trying to be home with the family, and be a full-time mom," Rousey stated, emphasizing her current focus on motherhood.
Speculation about Rousey's potential move to AEW arose following her departure from WWE and her subsequent appearance in Ring of Honor (ROH) on November 17. As ROH is owned by AEW, many began to wonder if Rousey would make the transition to the new promotion.
However, Rousey's recent comments have quashed those speculations, at least for the time being.
Rousey, who is the mother of a 2-year-old baby named La'akea, is relishing her role as a parent and has no immediate plans to return to professional wrestling.
Despite her hiatus from the ring, Rousey's impact on women's MMA cannot be understated. Before venturing into wrestling, she played a pivotal role in elevating women's MMA to unprecedented heights, breaking barriers and paving the way for future generations of female fighters.
While Rousey is focused on her family, her husband Travis Browne also had a successful career in combat sports as a heavyweight contender.
Browne achieved notable victories against renowned fighters such as Josh Barnett and Alistair Overeem, adding to the athletic prowess within the Rousey-Browne household.
In addition to addressing her own career and family commitments, Rousey also discussed the possibility of her children following in her and Browne's footsteps by pursuing careers in MMA or professional wrestling.
The prospect of a new generation of Rousey-Browne athletes entering the combat sports arena raises intriguing questions about the family's athletic legacy and the potential for future contributions to the sports world.
As Rousey continues to embrace her role as a mother and remains dedicated to her family, her impact on both MMA and wrestling serves as a testament to her enduring influence in the world of sports.
While her future in professional wrestling may be uncertain, Rousey's legacy as a trailblazer and her commitment to her family are undeniable, leaving an indelible mark on the sports landscape.
