Minor news items that don't deserve a thread

Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that “there is a very good chance that Ronda Rousey will be finishing up with WWE at WrestleMania.” It is reported that there has been a decent amount of talk within the company about Rousey’s exit from WWE within the past week and right now that is the plan.

WWE has always been a temporary deal for Rousey. She wants to start a family with husband Travis Browne. Although WWE reported Rousey’s contract as full-time for multiple-years, it was only, in reality, a one-year deal. It is said that this was “pretty much known” that she would be leaving after WrestleMania 35.

If that's true, that helps explain why they were rushing her to the championship - they didn't have time for the chase or building up much else in terms of storyline. Just get her to the main events as fast as possible, so you're getting as much out of her as possible in one year. They were incredibly lucky, looking back, that she was a phenomenon with regards to picking up how to actually work so quickly, and that they've got Becky ready to pick up the slack. It's all worked out really well.

Also explains why they were so focused on building Charlotte for the first half of the year as well. Her beating Asuka the same night Rousey debuts, all building to Charlotte beating Rousey the following year, with them both built up as much as possible.

I keep assuming it will be a Triple Threat match at Mania. Would certainly help with keeping the winner under wraps if Ronda is leaving.

I'd have Bliss win the Rumble and challenge Asuka and they can tie the triple threat match in somehow.
