SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...

Ronda Rousey back on WWE television may be a reality sooner than later.

PWInsider is reporting that Rousey was spotted by fans in Connecticut ahead of this week’s episode of WWE Smackdown that airs from there. Rousey is not booked to be on the show and a segment or match with her involved is not being promoted at this time either.

Rousey has not been seen on WWE television since losing the Smackdown Women’s Championship to Charlotte Flair earlier this year. Rousey had been champion since beating Flair at WrestleMania Backlash in 2022. Reports indicate that Rousey will be working WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles this year, but that her match may be in the women’s tag team division alongside Shayna Baszler as a partner.

Currently, Rousey is not booked for WrestleMania or the upcoming WWE Elimination Chamber PLE on February 18.

“That was non-stop drama,” Wade Keller wrote. “I’m not going to mark it down because it was so late in the night and everyone was tired. That was just a hell of a match. Great pacing throughout. Hard-hitting. It felt like all three desperately wanted to win.”
