As previously reported, a deal between Ronda Rousey and WWE was stated by Sports Illustrated and USA Today to be “imminent.”
In an update to this situation, TMZ reported otherwise and stated that negotiations between WWE and Rousey have not started yet, according to their sources close to Ronda.
While Ronda Rousey has been spotted several times at WWE’s Performance Center, PWInsider reported this is due to the WWE allowing her the use of the facility for private workout purposes.
