The Baddest Woman on the planet was seen in WWE programming after nearly 3 years. She last competed in the main event of WrestleMania 35. On the show of shows, Rousey lost her RAW Women’s Championship to Becky Lynch in a match that also involved Charlotte Flair.
The reason why Ronda Rousey left WWE
The primary reason was her desire to build a family with her husband Travis Browne. The Rowdy One has since confirmed this. The couple welcomed their first child last year.

However, since then The former UFC Champion in an appearance on the Wilde Ride Podcast noted WWE’s hectic schedule and ‘ungrateful fans’ as her reasons behind leaving WWE.
“I love the WWE. I had such a great time. I love all the girls in the locker room. Running out there and having fake fights for fun is just the best thing. I love the choreography. I love acting. I love theater. Live theater and some of the last forms of live theater. But, I was doing part-time and I was away from home 200 days out of the year. And when I did get home, I was so sleep deprived cause you just don’t have time to lay down.”
Ronda then goes on to add, “What am I doing it for if I’m not being able to spend my time and energy on my family, but instead spending my time and my energy on a bunch of fucking ungrateful fans that don’t even appreciate me? “The thing is, I love performing. I love the girls. I love being out there. “But, at the end of the day, I was just like, ‘Fuck these fans, dude.’ My family loves me. They appreciate me. I want all of my energy to go into them.”
Whatever the reason was behind her WWE exit 3 years ago, we are glad she is back performing in WWE.
