Moving along, she appeared on ESPN’s SportsCenter on Tuesday morning alongside Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch to promote their triple threat match that will headline WrestleMania 35 on Sunday, April 7, 2019 in East Rutherford, NJ at MetLife Stadium that will air on the WWE Network.
This is where Rousey gave her second reaction to the news by praising the way that he did the announcement but questioned if it will stick.
“It’s a creative way to retire and it was a cryptic way to retire (H/T to MMAFighting),” Rousey said on SportsCenter. “We will see how permanent it is. If he wants to retire forever, he’s more than earned it. Like I said, I’m ready to buy the second round.”
Rousey has been out of the fight game for two years after suffering devastating losses in her last two bouts under the UFC banner. Se was dethroned of UFC gold by Holly Holm at UFC 193 in November 2015. Holm knocked her out with her infamous head kick. Then, she suffered a 48-second TKO loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 in December 2016.
