BREAKING: Former WWE Women’s Champion announces official retirement at 39 years old

Retirement appears to be the theme in WWE at present, but interestingly this one didn’t include Gunther.

Former Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey has announced her official retirement after defeating Gina Carano in just 17 seconds.

Rousey had been pushing the bout for several months and ahead of MVP MMA last night she noted that this would be her last fight because she wanted to go and “make more babies.”

This is a sentiment that has been reiterated by the former champion after winning her match, making it clear that she wants to expand her family with Travis Browne.

The couple already has two daughters together and it seems that Rousey is now looking to return to Browsey Acres and continue to add to her family.

Rousey was able to use her iconic Arm Bar for the win, which as been the story of her lengthy MMA career.

Ronda Rousey is a former WWE WrestleMania main eventer

Ronda Rousey has been an icon in MMA for decades, but her move to WWE is what appeared to define the last few years of her career.

Rousey was the name that helped to push the Women’s Division to the next level, and not only gave them their own Premium Live Event, but also the WWE WrestleMania main event.

Rouseyain evented WrestleMania 35 alongside Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch and even though she came up short, it was a move that changed the business.

Even though the former champion has walked away from the company since and has appeared in AEW while continuing her MMA career, it seems that she could now be taking a massive step back.

Rousey has already made it clear what’s next for her, but it will be interesting to see if she has the itch to make her return after the incredible win last night which showed she was back to her best.

At just 39 years old, The Baddest Woman on the Planet has time to welcome more additions to her family and make her return in the future to once again prove she’s the most dominant woman in combat sports.
