Be it a new arrival or a potential departure, WWE fans are very keen to keep their eyes on unforeseen events. And most of the time, their speculation goes in the right direction. Once again, it came out true as a departed WWE star almost confirmed the end of her decorative in-ring career as predicted by many.

The star we are talking about is none other than the former UFC fighter Ronda Rousey. The Rowdy One continued to hype up the retirement rumor by making direct references on social media.

Rousey had a quite triumphant WWE year before heading into a temporary hiatus back in 2019. After returning last year, Rousey hit a peak in her career with several commendable victories, namely the Women’s Royal Rumble title, a few SmackDown Women’s Titles, and last but not least, the Women’s Tag Team Championship title alongside Shayna Baszler.

However, her last in-ring appearance wasn’t up to the mark as she scored a shattering defeat at the hands of long-time friend Baszler, who shockingly turned on her. Ever since Rousey has been teasing her retirement as she feels without Baszler by her side, she has no reason to stay in the business.

Eric Bischoff seemingly won’t like to see Ronda Rousey back in the wrestling ring

Rousey had to bear with a lot of brickbats during her brief yet significant run with the Stamford-based company. While there were also a fair amount of fans who constantly had her back, she failed to rise to the good book of the majority due to her stagnant bookings and long time off.

WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff preferred to go with the majority and didn’t think Rousey should ever revert to the ring.

Bischoff believes, despite having great talent and even utilizing it to some extent, The Baddest Woman on The Planet has never had her heart in wrestling and this isn’t something she wanted to do in life.

Now, we need to see if the UFC Hall of Fame really draws an end to her association with WWE anytime soon or not.
