Ronda Rousey says she has no reason to stay following her match with Shayna Baszler.
Rousey has been feuding with Baszler, her former friend and tag team partner, in recent weeks. At WWE SummerSlam, Baszler faced Rousey in an MMA Rules Match and choked her out. Prior to the pay-per-view, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reported that Rousey has a "hard out" date before WrestleMania 40, but further details were unclear.
In a post on Instagram, Rousey tagged Baszler and wrote that, following their match, she had no reason to say.
"@qosbaszler you were the reason I got into this business… Now I got no reason to stay," Rousey wrote.
Fightful will provide more information as it becomes available.
Rousey, the inaugural UFC Bantamweight Champion, joined WWE in 2018. She quickly became one of the company's top stars, and she went on to become a two-time SmackDown Women's Champion.
