Ronda Rousey: It'd Be Fun To Team Up With Shayna Baszler Again

08/27/2024 08:24 AM

Ronda Rousey would love to have another tag team run with Shayna Baszler.

The pair teamed together in early 2023, winning the WWE and NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships. However, Baszler eventually turned on her partner and friend, setting up their rivalry for the summer of 2023.

Shayna Baszler beat Ronda Rousey in the latter’s last match in WWE so far. They wrestled in an MMA-style match at Summerslam 2023, but Rousey doesn’t think she is done with Baszler in the ring yet.

Speaking on her gaming livestream on YouTube [H/T to Post Wrestling for the transcription] Ronda Rousey revealed that she would “definitely not” return full-time to the WWE.

However, the former women’s champion noted that the company is better under Triple H, and that she’d love to team up with Shayna Baszler again.

Ronda Rousey did note that she has a baby on the way, so it could be some time before that is an option.

“Am I gonna come back to WWE? Definitely not full-time like before but, it'd be fun to team up with Shayna (Baszler) again. I even have our makeup speech written. But, who knows? I heard things are a lot better with Triple H. It's just I got a baby to have…”

Ronda Rousey Turned Down “Evolution 2” Show In WWE

Ronda Rousey rejected the chance for a second all-women WWE Evolution pay per view.

She was a recent guest on Ring The Belle. When asked why Evolution 2 never happened, Rousey claims it was pitched to her to take place following 2019 had she stayed around for a bit longer.

"Well, they offered to bring it back for a second time," Ronda Rousey said. "They said, 'Ronda, if you stay after WrestleMania, we'll have another Evolution in six weeks, and have you Becky as a singles.' I was like, 'I promised my family.' First, I was saying, 'Oh, I will only go from WrestleMania until Survivor Series. Then, Triple H convinced me to stay from WrestleMania to WrestleMania, and I promised my family, 'Okay, that's it. That's it.'

"I have kids, a husband, and a home, and I'm gone for weeks on end. So when they said that, I was like, 'No, I've already asked too much of my family. I can't ask any more of them, I promised them this. I promised you I would stay this long. And I promised them I would only stay this long, and I'm not gonna keep moving the goalpost.' I ended up shattering my knuckle anyway like I got an extra little nub now, so I wouldn't have been able to do it regardless, but, yeah, they tried to dangle that carrot for me, but I just couldn't."
