Ronda Rousey has carved out an immaculate legacy in combat sports. She has climbed atop the mountain in both the UFC and the WWE. However, her chapter with the prestige wrestling promotion came to a close as she left the company. The rumor mill ran rife with speculation over Rousey’s next step after her last appearance at SummerSlam. An exciting development has surfaced on how exactly the former WWE star would continue to enthrall and excite her fans.
Despite speculation continuing to persist over a return to the Octagon, the former UFC bantamweight champion has opted to engage in a venture that is less action-heavy. In recent months, Rousey has focused on parenting her daughter and managing her farm. She continues to keep a low profile. The 2 time WWE SmackDown Women’s champion made an exciting announcement on her Instagram account. She revealed that she was working on her upcoming memoir.
