Coming off arguably the best debut in WWE history (hey, Jim Ross agrees!), Ronda Rousey couldn’t be a hotter commodity for the organization. She quelled any doubts on her in-ring skills by pushing Stephanie McMahon and Triple H around the ring at WrestleMania 34, possibly setting up a huge main event for next year’s grand event in the process.
Now Rousey is preparing to take on Nia Jax for the Raw Women’s championship at Money in the Bank thanks to a showdown at NBC’s Upfront presentation.
If it feels like Rousey’s push to the top has been quick, that’s because it totally has been. As good as she was in the ring at ‘Mania, she had a grand total of one televised match leading up to the announcement.
While the news is swirling and Rousey’s WWE standing can’t get much better, she dropped a bit of a bombshell to TMZ on where she’s at in life outside of the ring. TMZ asked Rousey if she’s been having “baby fever” with it being nearly a year since her marriage to MMA fighter Travis Browne. Rousey responded by saying, “Soon, someday. Someday soon.”
The 31-year-old former UFC champion turned WWE star seems destined for the company’s top slot. When she starts a family could affect that, but as stars such as Brie Bella and Trish Stratus have shown, she could absolutely return to the ring soon after having a child.
