Backstage News – Has Ronda Rousey Signed With AEW/ROH?

As we reported last night here on eWn, Ronda Rousey made her Ring of Honor debut at the ROH TV on HonorClub tapings. The appearance wasn’t promoted in advance. Rousey teamed with Marina Shafir to face off against Athena and Billie Starkz in a winning effort.

According to a report from Fightful Select, Ronda Rousey has not signed an official contract with AEW/ROH. She is simply working on a handshake deal for the time being. The reason she’s been booked for ROH, REVOLVER and Lucha VaVoom events over the past few weeks is because she wanted to work with her good friend Shafir.

Rousey is not the mystery signing planned for AEW Full Gear 2023 tonight. She was never considered for that spot.

Additionally, all of the recently released WWE talents have non-compete clauses that don’t expire until December 20th. As far as Will Ospreay is concerned, his NJPW contract expires in February but he’s been given permission to negotiate with other companies. Of course, NJPW and AEW have a good working relationship so it’s very possible they’ll allow Ospreay to sign an AEW contract while he continues his commitments with them through February.
