Ronda Rousey Signs Full Time WWE Contract

Speaking of her reasoning to join WWE full time, Rousey told ESPN’s Ramona Shelbourne:

“This is my life now. First priority on my timeline for the next several years. This is not a smash-and-grab; this is not a publicity stunt. When I first met with Triple H, I told him, ‘There are other things I can do with my time that’ll make way more money, but I won’t enjoy nearly as much.'”

Rousey, who is a lifelong wrestling fan (and whose nickname Rowdy was bestowed upon her by WWE Hall of Famer Rowdy Roddy Piper), was previously seen dominating the UFC women’s division and had been seen on WWE at its’ flagship event,Wrestlemania.  What’s Ronda’s next move in the WWE?
