Former UFC Star and RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey has not been on WWE television since WrestleMania 35, where she lost her title to Becky Lynch in a triple threat match in the main event of the pay-per-view, which also featured Charlotte Flair. Ronda Rousey’s return date was also previously confirmed.
Ronda Rousey’s original WWE contract has already expired. As reported by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Ronda Rousey’s WWE contract was set to expire back in April. It is likely the company extended it somehow as the belief is that she will be returning to the company someday.
Natalya has proven herself to be a dependable performer during her time in WWE. She has gained the trust and respect of her peers through all her hard work and dedication to professional wrestling. She has also been recognized by the Guinness World Records for three consecutive achievements as well.
Ronda Rousey, who is very close friends with Natalya in real life, took to Twitter and congratulated her on the achievement and then joked that she is ignoring her calls.
WWE have released Braun Strowman, Aleister Black, Lana, Ruby Riott, Santana Garrett, and Buddy Murphy. The reason cited was part of budget cuts, and Strowman was being paid $1.2 million per year according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The former WWE Universal Champion signed a new contract in October 2019, so the budget cut regarding Strowman is the WWE’s biggest saving financially from all of the talent cuts in the last year plus during the pandemic. Braun Strowman was fired by WWE for a very surprising reason as well.
Congrats @NatbyNature !! Please stop ignoring my calls😩 https://t.co/0xRjuVRCxc
