Ronda Rousey hasn’t wrestled for WWE since WrestleMania 35, and the current state of her contract is up in the air. Her original contract has already expired unless an arrangement was made to extend or freeze it.
Rousey might be wrestling anymore, but she’s paying attention to the produce. While speaking to Table Talk, the Baddest Woman on the Planet revealed that she would love to face a few people that she’s had her eye on.
She’s already worked with Charlotte Flair, Natalya, Nia Jax and others. She recalled those experiences, but then expressed a desire to mix it up with some newer Superstars who have come up from NXT since her departure. She specifically named Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair.
“Given the fact that we never worked together before and that we had a day and a half to put the whole thing together, I really think me and Charlotte had a lot of great chemistry, but Nattie, we had less time. That was my first match ever on the fly, and I was literally crying in the match because I was so afraid. We just made it a part of the story. The fact that we were able to make the match as we went along, I think we really had a special kind of chemistry. I would really love to have a match that we really didn’t prepare for.”
“One person that I’m capable of doing the most with is Nia [Jax] because she’s really really strong. I don’t have to worry about hurting her. I feel like I’ve had some great matches with her. My first singles was with her. We’ve also gone through that storyline already. We’ve done all that we could. I really like having someone really strong that I can work with that I can use as a base but can also base of me. I would really love to work with Rhea Ripley.”
“Whenever I work with somebody, I think, what is it that I could do only with them and they can do only with me. I think of one thing that we can do that is entirely unique in our match that only we can do, which there’s a lot of things I can think of for me and Rhea. Bianca [Belair] too, honestly. They’re both really really strong chicks that I feel like I can lift as well. I think I have the most options with them, and I’m just so glad that there’s some new faces and blood coming into the division as well.”
Ripley and Belair have a lot of eyes on them right now. WWE is growing and those two seem to be positioned in a great spot to lead the company’s women’s division into the future. You never know if Ronda Rousey will make a return to work with one of them, but it seems like she’s not totally ruling that option out.
