Ronda Rousey says she is “pretty much” done with her professional wrestling career

During an interview with The Lapsed Fan podcast, former WWE star Ronda Rousey was asked if her wrestling career is now in the “rearview mirror” and here was her response…

“Pretty much, I’d say so. I got into WWE because I wanted to be able to wrestle with my girls, you know, the Four Horsewomen and be able to wrestle with my friends. And they kind of dangled that carrot for my whole run and never let it happen. And then the second run, they kept dangling it. And then by the end, I was like, I’m f*cking leaving unless I can wrestle with Shayna [Baszler]. And that’s how I was able to do it at all.”

“It got to the point where I’m just like, they’re never going to allow me to make it as good as it can be, and, like, meeting them halfway in this range of mediocrity is like crushing my soul. So I can’t continue to do that. So I’m going to go f*cking be awesome and doing other things. I’ll take everything that I learned from pro wrestling and apply it elsewhere into my other passions… If anything, it was like I was doing like a sabbatical. When you go off and you study something for years and come back and utilize what you learned, that was my wrestling sabbatical. I will take everything that I learned from that and apply it to all the other spaces that are bringing me joy.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
