Possible Future Plans For Ronda Rousey In WWE

On last night's episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that the WWE's tentative plans for UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey involve her working a singles match with Stephanie McMahon.

Following Rousey's WrestleMania segment, many speculated that Rousey could possibly team with Furious 7 co-star The Rock to work a mixed tag team match with McMahon and husband Triple H. Another scenario saw The Rock and Triple H competing in a singles match with McMahon and Rousey in their corner.

While these are the plans, there are several factors to even getting Rousey in the ring. Her agent revealed last week that as of now, the Rousey-WWE deal was a one-off performance with no other obligations to fulfill. UFC as an organization would also have to provide her clearance to compete in a match. They did in fact clear her for the angle at WrestleMania.

UFC talents getting cleared for outside projects isn't unheard of, as several UFC contracted fighters have been approved to compete in the Metamoris grappling events promoted by the Gracies. Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Josh Barnett also got clearance to work a professional wrestling match in Japan last year, and Rousey's partner Shayna Baszler also appeared for ROH last month. Light Heavyweight "Filthy" Tom Lawlor was pulled from several planned ROH dates, however.
