Ronda Rousey’s departure from the WWE transpired after her SummerSlam match against Shayna Baszler. Reminiscent of their UFC days, their MMA Rules bout concluded with Baszler’s victory, Rousey’s first loss in professional wrestling.
The match’s unconventional format and relaxed speed generated differing reactions from spectators. Despite backlash from fans, Rousey defends the match’s authenticity in her future memoir, seeing it as her farewell address to both the organization and the public.
She feels proud of their performance even if she is aware of the audience’s dissatisfaction. Baszler clarifies further why the Fight Pit style was not used for their battle. Rejected heel turn pitches were a factor in Rousey’s decision to retire from professional wrestling, it has been claimed.
