Not So Rowdy? Update On Ronda Rousey's WWE Status

Not that one. The Royal Rumble is a complicated show as there are so many people taken up by the show’s namesake matches. That does not leave much room for wrestlers to not be around, though it can made a bit easier if the roster is deep enough coming into the show. It seems to be the case this year, as one prominent WWE star is no longer expected to appear at the event.

According to Fightful Select, Ronda Rousey is no longer expected to appear at the Royal Rumble. Rousey was originally scheduled to have a singles match on the show but the plans have since changed. There is no word on any reason for the change, though Rousey was also scheduled to appear at Raw 30 before the plans were changed as well. Rousey last wrestled on the December 30, 2022 SmackDown, losing the SmackDown Women’s Title to Charlotte.

Opinion: The more I hear about Rousey’s WWE status, the less sure I am that she is coming back at all. Rousey’s latest run has been a bit less than stellar and it might be best if she takes a hiatus. That hiatus might wind up being permanent, though there are multiple spots where she could come back. It would be great to have Rousey back, but right now it might not be the right time.
