Rousey on ‘The Ellen show’ earlier this week said,”I think it’s just as likely as me going back to another Olympics for judo.No one demanded a written resignation from me for judo and I don’t really think the same thing is necessary for fighting. I’m just doing what I enjoy and WWE is what I enjoy right now.”

Hence,Rousey has not officially retired from the UFC but she is now a full-time employees of the WWE.Rousey has made couple of appearances in WWE one at ‘WWE Royal Rumble’ and one at ‘WWE Elimination Chamber’,where they had an official contract signing for her.
