After her shameful loss to Nunes in 2016, Rousey stopped fighting and focused on acting. It fulfilled her to a certain degree, but she was still open for other opportunities that might be coming her way.
Word got around the wrestling circles that Rousey is about to star in WWE. Still, nothing was made official so it was all just a rumor. Still, she was later seen with Triple H — a major WWE personality, so the rumor wasn’t completely baseless.
Let's Talk About Food
Many professional athletes are very careful with what they eat and stick to a strict diet. In 2012 Rousey said that the one she follows has elements from the Paleo diet and the Warrior Diet.
Rousey practiced a vegan diet for a while although she doesn't adhere to one now. She likes eating organic and grows as much as she can of her own produce.
The Animal Instinct
Before her time at the UFC, Rousey used to work as an assistant for a dogs' physical therapist. Now, with her farm and subsequent menagerie, she is happy to spend more time with her animals.
She enjoys spending time with her goats — especially one named Rio, who she used to bottle-feed when he was still a baby.
A WWE Debut
In February 2018, Rousey signed with WWE. Her debut came two months later in the Superdome at WrestleMania 34. She was teamed with Kurt Angle and they fought against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.
She was thrilled to win that fight and surprised at how well-mannered the huge crowd was. Coming from outside WWE, she was expecting a cold shoulder from the fans, but they were incredibly kind.
A Different Kind of Performance
For those of you who aren't familiar with the world of wrestling and the different leagues — here is the difference between MMA fights and WWE: the former is real fights with real competition. The latter is scripted and the performance involves more stunts than actual fighting.
As we previously wrote, Rousey's mother taught her judo. But her so-called "mean-mug" — the fight face she has on in the ring — she learned that from her godfather.
