Ronda Rousey officially retired from WWE Potential confirmation analyzed
Ronda Rousey was last seen in WWE at SummerSlam 2023. The Baddest Woman on the Planet was defeated by former best friend Shayna Baszler in their MMA Rules match at the Premium Live Event. She was rumored to leave the company after the event. Tonight, the promotion seemingly confirmed that she’s officially retired from active in-ring competition.
Tonight’s edition of WWE RAW featured a confrontation between Shayna Baszler and Rhea Ripley. Michael Cole referred to Baszler as the woman who sent Ronda Rousey packing from WWE – apparently confirming her retirement from pro wrestling.
Rousey and Baszler were WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions when the Queen of Spades betrayed her real-life best friend. The shocking betrayal happened at Money in the Bank 2023, where Baszler attacked a distracted Rousey and then choked her out with the Kirifuda Clutch. The assault allowed Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez to regain the tag team titles.
Rousey and Baszler spent the following months confronting and brawling with each other during backstage and in-ring segments. The feud culminated at SummerSlam 2023 in Detroit, where Baszler defeated her former partner within eight minutes.
