ROUSEY SIGNS WWE CONTRACT
Posted: 020218

Ronda Rousey was supposed to be in Colombia filming a movie but she showed up at the end of Royal Rumble. According to ESPN, she has signed a full-time deal with the company. She appeared at the end of the Rumble in a Roddy Piper inspired T-shirt and wearing one of Piper's leather jackets that she got from his son. As soon as the show ended ESPN broke the news. She told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, "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 did actually leave to shoot a film called Mile 22 in Colombia but returned to the US on a private jet and laid low all weekend. She didn’t have anyone with her and her husband Travis Browne was at home with his sons who didn't even know their step mom was about to be on TV. The WWE had to get clearance from Joan Jett's management in order to use the song Bad Reputation. Her first match is going to be a tag team match with the Rock (if he is allowed to wrestle and his schedule is open) against Stephanie McMahon & Triple H. Rousey has been training at the WWE Performance Center with Brian Kendrick for quite some time.
